Summary

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15596&preview=true) An AI bot might seem like the answer to the hours you spend submitting resumes and filling out application materials, but it could be harming your job search. These bots submit information about you without your oversight. Not only that, says Find Your Dream Job guest Jessica Miller-Merrell, but the facts they share are the same for each position. Jessica recommends taking the time to tailor each resume and application for the job you want. Narrow down your unique skillset, focus on the jobs that fit your skills, and spend your time researching your ideal companies and positions instead of submitting thousands of resumes per week.
