The AI isn’t “generating” it - it’s just whittling down from what you provide to it and swapping out synonyms to match the job description. Try it - you shouldn’t need to make any manual edits if the input data and prompt line up correctly.

I spent about a year looking for a job (senior management in cybersecurity), and had basically ZERO luck until I got wise and did the following. Had a new role within 4 months afterwards.

1. Take your resume, and expand it 10-20x into a massive document listing every single project, accomplishment, or skill you can think of that could ever be potentially relevant in a new role.
2. Every time you apply to a new job, copy the job posting into a ChatGPT conversation, and have it edit your resume to a 1-2 page document that only includes the experience most relevant to the job posting, and to rewrite sentences to use the exact terminology from the job posting where appropriate.
3. Once you have the custom resume, use ChatGPT to generate a custom cover letter to include as well.

These 2 changes will cause your resume to get assigned a higher “relevance score” by the AI tool their HR or recruiting team uses to weed through the 400+ applications they receive, which means you’ll be at the top of the list of names that gets delivered to first human in the process (the recruiter).

You’ll actually start getting callbacks and phone screens at that point, which gives you a fighting chance. The rest is up to you.

There are paid services that’ll do this for you (like Teal), but you can do it yourself and with more control as long as you have access to ChatGPT. If you can generate a completely customized resume and cover letter in less than 2 minutes, you can pump out 10 high-quality applications in less than half an hour per day.

Edit: I see you’re getting a 40% response rate. You may be setting your sights too low if that remains consistent. If you’re applying for roles that are a solid step up form where you’re at, you would expect closer to a 10% response rate.

I work from home and live on a sailboat, sailing up and down the west coast (south in Winter, north in Summer). Not exactly a lot of opportunities to develop or maintain social connections other than on Discord/Steam. How would I even meet anyone during the week or so I stay in a given town before shipping out? And who wants to date a guy who’s only in town for a week or two per year?

The only way I could maintain a relationship would be an LTR where she lived onboard with me, but I don’t see how I could every date someone to establish that LTR in the first place. Kind of a chicken and egg situation.

I may be one of the few guys in the 6, 6, 6 club who’s been single for years with no hope of finding a woman. And I just don’t think the changes I’d have to make to my lifestyle to make that easier would be worth it. So… I guess I’ll just die alone?

As a person on the spectrum, I am not offended and endorse his statement. Please find a real issue to be offended about.

My understanding was that they weren’t included in the ISO and had to be installed manually after the fact.

No Nvidia driver support. Dealbreaker for most folks folks wanting to run games.

Veritasium is YouTube propaganda. It’s well documented - Derek takes sponsor money and gets people killed in the process. I blocked Derek on all platforms the day Tom put this documentary video out.

Hold up. Are you telling me that 100,000 refugees already own homes? Be right back, need to go vote conservative real quick.

I just used ChatGPT to write a 500-line Python application that syncs IP addresses from asset management tools to our vulnerability management stack. This took about 4 hours using AutoGen Studio. The code just passed QA and is moving into production next week.

Tell me again how LLMs are useless?

A “DEI” is a person whose hiring was motivated (in whole or in part) by the desire to improve recruiting metrics tied to diversity, equity, and inclusion as opposed to solely based on their suitability for the role.

Let’s just say that, hypothetically, the OP didn’t hold a pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli viewpoint. In that case, would they have to lie and add those disclaimers in order to be “well mannered”?

My point is that anyone should be able to ask a simple question about why South Africa are the ones filing this case at the ICJ. It shouldn’t matter what their overarching beliefs are, nor should they be required to submit their liberal bona fides before they are allowed ask the question.

That’s not good manners, that’s an echo chamber.

Only on Lemmy would you need to add all of those disclaimers before asking a legitimate question.

I asked a question the other day that gave the appearance that I might sympathise with a conservative viewpoint, and it was the most downvoted post of my entire life within 30 minutes. Let me reiterate - I was downvoted en masse for asking a good faith question and not accepting the Democratic narrative as a given. Folks instantly assumed I must be asking the question with an (conservative) answer already in mind, and dogpiled me for it.

Ironically enough, there was one good faith reply that answered my question and resulted in me ultimately agreeing with the Lemmy-approved viewpoint. But I almost didn’t get that answer due to the amount of bad-faith responses and downvotes I was swamped with.

I tried this once. Went to the dog park, chatted up a girl over a period of a month. I finally got the courage to ask her on a date, and she said yes! The date (dinner and a local concert) went great - we ended up back at my place and I can honestly say it was some of the best sex of my life.

Then she ghosted me and we never talked again. That was 2017, and I’m still not over it. Thanks for the advice though.

I had no idea. I use SponsorBlock to avoid seeing sponsored segments like that one. Thanks for the heads-up.

The Cruise propaganda video that Derek from Veritasium put out on YouTube is what finally got me to unsubscribe/block his channel. Cruise was using shady tactics way before these safety incidents.

Nobody is going to vote for Trump because of this. But it WILL cause enough folks to get dejected and not vote at all, and that’s all it’ll take for Trump to win. Democrats need a candidate people can be excited about voting for, or they WILL lose.

The “but the other guy is worse!” approach won’t work this time.

You may be thinking of the GeForce Experience app.
