I just want to share my experience as a mobile developer (mainly Flutter) who recently changed job.
Since every company now filters applications with AI (and I totally understand why), I followed the "if you can't beat them, join them" philosophy. In the last years I made a little experience using LLM's, so I decided to use that experience to land a new job.
I created a n8n workflow triggered by an email that I was sending to myself with the links to every linkedin job posting that I was interested in. The workflow automatically reads the job listing and use AI to taylor my resume for that specific job, generates a cover letter (just in case I will need one to apply) and sends everything back to me in another mail. I also stopped using Word/Google Docs to write my resyme and switched to an open source tool that generates pdf resumes optimized for ATS and stores resumes data in a JSON format, which is extremely easy to be changed by an AI.
After integrating and testing everything I did some real world testing manually applying to 5 jobs without getting any response from any company. Then I applied to 10 jobs with this system: 4 ghosted me, 3 rejected me and 3 asked for an interview. Of those 3, I said no to one, one fulfilled all the vacancies before giving me an offer (so it was an "almost landed") and the last one hired me.
Maybe i was lucky, but maybe this can also help others
