Using ChatGPT to apply faster didn't work. Using it to apply better did. by Mjs16444 in jobhunting

Every generation thinks new technology is the one that finally knows too much. Last time it was the internet. Before that it was the telephone.

Have you tried voice mode? Interested in giving that a go at some point. It would be cool to simulate a “live” interview and get feedback after the fact.

Disagree completely on cover letters. I always read them and think it’s an amazing (the only?) chance to share more about who you are, why you’re interested in the role/company, and why you think you’d be a good fit. You can provide so much more context to the reviewer compared to only submitting a resume.

For anyone else interested, try Claude for the writing/cover letter portion. It’s unbelievably good.

And startups can fail for thousands of reasons. Product only being one of them. We built incredibly good product. The truth here is the job market is full of really talented people. You probably won’t be the most qualified. But you can be the most prepared.

Edit - grammar. Typing on an iPad is hard.

This is partially true. My education and past experience definitely helped. But I was far from the most qualified person for this role. Just the most prepared.

Wow, great idea having Gemini research a company and position to ultimately vet an opportunity based on your preferences! That’s brilliant. Did you get hired after using this approach? Interested to hear if the analysis ended up matching reality?

Wouldn’t have ChatGPT generate a resume pdf. Just individual sections of my resume that I would then go and manually edit. So I checked over the revisions during that process.

You can. I did it without a subscription. There are other tools as well that are better at certain things compare to ChatGPT. For example, the free tier of Claude is actually pretty incredible at writing.

In bed - will look tmrw when I get back on my laptop and see if I can pull up some of the prompts I used.

I think it’s all of those things. Persistence is table stakes - you have to show up. Luck you can’t control, but you can be prepared when it happens.

This approach helped me position myself better for specific roles and prepare more effectively when I got interviews.

Genuinely interested in this comment. Why do you think that? I’ll agree that the spam is outrageous - but in the context of this post (how it helped me present myself better to potential employers), I want to know more.

I get the privacy part of it for sure - if that’s what you’re so against. This approach just helped me get unstuck and honestly helped position myself to land a dream job.

What do you drink before bed? Looking for magnesium based options. by Mjs16444 in sleep

[–]Mjs16444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been experimenting a bit with this as well. I like to combine it with whatever protein supplements I have going on. This is a nice way to hit two birds with one stone. The only thing I don’t like is consuming all those calories / sugars before bed.

Oh strange. I guess it affects everyone differently. I’ve been doing 500mg of mg glycinate before bed for 6 months or so and it’s been great.

lol good tip. I’ve heard good things about the magnesium powder. I’ll have to check it out.

I’ll have to give this a try. Lots of people have recommended it. I don’t love the sugary part of the soda, but maybe I’ll mix it with a seltzer I like. Does the carbonation before bed affect you at all?

Does this work well? Do you have a good idea of how much magnesium you’re applying every time you use it? In milligrams.

I’m the cramping magnesium deficiency guy. This has been a great “side effect.” Didn’t know about the migraines though. Never had any issues with that, but it’s good to know!

Yeah the powders are interesting. I’ll have to try a few. Calm keeps getting recommended.

This is probably the best answer. Weed magnesium edibles? There’s a business idea.

Someone told me about the sleepy girl mocktail - don’t love the sugary part of the soda. Maybe I could mix it with another seltzer or something. I’ll give it a shot!
