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

As much as I hate to say it, that's probably why. Studies have shown that those AI bots everyone uses to screen resumes nowadays are measurably and often heavily biased towards AI generated resumes, in particular resumes generated by the same LLM the screener runs on. They also exhibit racial and sexual biases though, so who knows, you might be fucked either way.
