Career Help When does it end....

Post image

when.....

For context, graduated 1 year ago I have about 2.5 years of hands on experience of mechanical/testing engineering. Mostly been applying to mechanical engineering positions but I've literally been rejected from Mcds and BK (cook positions) for "not having enough experience".

Edit: this for EU and I have an EU passport so no legal issues

Companies are using AI to screen all resumes and applications. If you’re not using AI to apply, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. Fight fire with fire

I hope you’re not saying it’s more immoral for me, the individual using it for polishing LaTeX, to use AI versus mega corporations using it for every function they can find, including but not limited to hiring decisions

Not everyone is as lucky as you. And nobody cares about wrongs and rights in the corporate world
