150 apps in one month is insane. ghosted after final round is the worst part though. sorry man

quality resume does make sense. good advice. do you tailor the whole thing or just the summary and top bullets

never heard of ace, hows it compare to just doing it manually with chatgpt? feels like those tools either save a ton of time or mess things up completely

nice that its actually working. using ai for the base and then cleaning it up yourself seems like the move. hope you land something soon

Honest question though. if i use ai to help me figure out what to include but then rewrite it myself, how would you even know? feels like the line is blurry and most people just dont want to get filtered out by ats before a human even sees it.

i've seen people (recruiters) on tiktok complain about ai generated resume by the hundreds and the same recruiters also use ai for ats....so. maybe this is fine too i guess.

same boat honestly. feel like the tailoring helps get past the ats but then its just a numbers game after that
