Maybe flawed people were better than brute algorithms.

I’m applying to jobs, and the amount of AI assessments, rounds, AI interviewers, questionnaires, is nuts.

One of these emails for example,

It’s rough.

    It has certainly not done any good to job search.

    For example, search for job ads for “embedded Linux software engineer” in your area. Notice the phrasing and keywords which are used. Now, ask on chatgpt.com to write a job ad for an “Embedded Linux software developer”, without any further info. You’ll see that half of the job ads use, at least in large parts, exactly the same phrasing and the same silly list of technically unrelated protocols - and demand senior experience in real-time systems, which is actually needed in perhaps 1% of use cases. And looking for Linux kernel developers which “are experts in C++”…

      I don’t like it but you gotta game whatever the current meta is. If they are using AI, you gotta figure out which AI they are using and game that. Maximize your chances to get through the automated bullshit. Once you get through the bullshit you can find out what the job really requires and showcase skills. Its dumb to jump through these hoops, but this is the current game. Play that shit.

      I have used Copilot to generate specialist job titles and their detailed job description for staffing, extracted directly from documentation and half a dozen knowledge transfer session, under severe time pressure. It did a much better job than I could possibly do.
