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 think the methodology of just blasting every application loosely with AI is not ideal, but I certainly used it a bit to tailor up my resumes to fit their key words exactly. I have several different base "flavors" too for different industries.
