#GenAI - friend or foe of job seekers? Long ago, at the beginning of my career, I asked my friend (from IIM) why companies always want to hire from IIMs. Why this disparity? We non-IIM people also learn fast and work hard. He gave me a very profound answer. He said hiring from IIMs is a quick, guaranteed, and lazy way of hiring good people. Companies seek proof of intelligence and hard work. People from IITs/ IIMs provide both. Companies generally assume that if a candidate has worked so well in academics, they will do well professionally. While IIM teaches many things, you should also consider that they are already training the best students in the country. Candidates with a CAT percentile of 99%+ get an opportunity with top institutions. The selected group already consists of hardworking people who slog their way to IIM, so they will automatically give better results. Fast-forward 15+ years, and the hiring mindset is still the same. The big difference is that job-seekers have Gen AI, a powerful tool that many people consider a mind-reading genie.  We encourage students and potential candidates to use Gen AI to build resumes, explore project ideas, write direct messages to employers, and more. Based on my recent experience, relying entirely on Gen AI gives you a very standardized language or structure. So, it makes all resumes look homogenous. Thanks to ready-made message templates on LinkedIn, all direct messages are the same, with skills separated through a pipe symbol. While job seekers assume Gen AI-written content will help them stand out, unfortunately, that's not true because many others follow the same process. Busy recruiters, whose attention span on each resume is said to be 6 seconds, will never be able to judge which candidate is better because of this homogeneity. So, if companies can afford it, busy recruiters will turn to pedigree "only" as a proven source to hire talent. The ineffective use of Gen AI will not help candidates land better jobs but rather diminish opportunities. In the era of Gen AI, it's essential to use our human creativity and original ideas instead of simply following the machine's suggestions. For instance, 1. You can brainstorm with Gen AI on your ideas and explore all angles, but make your own conclusions. 2. Write things in your language; you may improve sentence structure using Gen AI, but don't let Gen AI make your statements verbose. 3. Use Gen AI to learn best practices for making resumes and highlighting project work or experience. But implement these suggestions by yourself. Don't let Gen AI write things on your behalf. #Originality will be a rare asset in the world driven by Gen AI because it makes everything look alike. Gen AI is a powerful tool; we should use it to explore the ideas we are unaware of, but let's not use it to think on our behalf. Image credit: ChatGPT 😉 #hiring #HRtech #FairOpportunity

Recruiter on LinkedIn! What do you want from new entry level candidates? What mistakes do you see on resumes commonly. It feels like new applicants are being told to do different things to their resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and interviews everyday. This isn’t just my personal perspective; however, I’m taking opinions, experiences, and stories into consideration for this conclusion. Do you like when candidates contact you directly? Do you still seek talent in-person? What are way both the applicants and recruiters can make the hiring process more efficient? My own experience has been the allocation or building of opportunities once communication or correspondence is initiated with those in power to give opportunities . AI algorithms are great for looking for qualification and keywords; however, they bleed talented candidates who simply didn’t put the right wording in the resumes or profiles. Is there someone to check after AI? Let’s work together to bring out talents together. Life is short; let’s enjoy this experience even in work. Thank you for reading, Keitavius Alexander

🤖 Using Artificial Intelligence In Your Job Search? 🛑 Don't overlook these 3 points: ✔ 1. You Have Massive Competition: Job seekers have turned to AI to support their job search which has resulted in an enormous amount of competition in the job market. All at once, candidates have almost-perfect application answers, which means that you need to think strategically to differentiate yourself and stand out as a candidate while #jobsearching. ✔ 2. All Resumes Look The Same: AI-powered Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) have been in existence for a while. But since candidates are using AI to write resumes, we have come to a point where most of the resumes look nearly the same. You still need to ensure your #resume includes the keywords from the job description, while not looking like someone else’s resume. ✔ 3. AI Limits Personal Growth: AI is meant to support, not replace, the human factor. But with AI doing the heavy lifting, it’s easy to see how some skills won’t be developed. Gone are the days of brainstorming a better resume headline. While that may sound like a benefit, reliance on AI limits individuality, reducing opportunities for #hiringmanagers who value creativity and unique narratives. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Want to learn how you can use #AI, such as #ChatGPT, to succeed in your job hunt? 🔜 On Wednesday, March 06, at 5pm PST, I will join Albert Qian of the Albert's List for another 'JOB HUNT LIKE A PRO' training webinar, where I will show you how to overcome the obstacles mentioned above.

Finding a job is a frustrating process for most people. When 4 in 5 job seekers do not hear back from companies to which they’ve applied, it’s no wonder that self-doubt and resentment start to creep in. Did the employer see my resume? Have they rejected me, but didn’t bother to reply?" There are several factors that can help you land you a job - or not. It is easy to fall into the hole of wondering if you got the job, or maybe why you didn't. Check out this article to learn how AI and technology can help in your job search: https://lnkd.in/gq8HjtNa Your resume is the first thing a hiring manager sees, and a crucial component in the job search.

If you recently applied to an advertised job vacancy, there is a high likelihood that your resume was first reviewed by an AI recruitment tool. The email suggesting that you have not been considered at this time might be nothing personal, just that the AI system didn’t match the required keywords on your resume or cover letter, and then concluded that you shouldn't be considered for next stages. Many less qualified people could get an interview opportunity because they understand how to insert keywords into their resumes and profiles, but you, a more qualified person, don’t even get a chance to be interviewed. As you plan your career move or job search in the new year, please focus on developing the required skills to do the job, but also be aware that an AI tool is now the gatekeeper to determine whether you will be allowed to demonstrate that you have the required skills. Perhaps we can learn from the words in Matthew 23:23, '…you should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.' Have a rewarding holiday and all the best for the new year. #AI&You.
