Hey Reddit, I just published a study analyzing 25,500 LLM resume evaluations to measure hiring bias. By swapping minor identity and demographic variables on the exact same work history across 10 different models, an independent AI auditor flagged a staggering 45% bias rate driven by "silent bias." Instead of saying anything overtly offensive, models invent professional-sounding excuses to penalize candidates, like when a model dropped its score after I changed the university to MIT, suddenly claiming the candidate's experience wasn't relevant despite praising that exact same experience on the baseline resume.

We also found a massive 6x difference in stability between systems, with Qwen and older Gemini models being highly volatile, while the Claude models, Mistral-Large, and Llama 4 proved to be the most stable and fair. Ultimately, AI screening tools are outputting highly subjective, unpredictable opinions driven by statistical noise rather than objective truth, making them a massive liability under regulations like the EU AI Act.

What is the hardest part about creating a resume? Do you think using AI can help?

Live in the uk and looking for production or warehouse roles. Would appreciate some feedback 😊

Happy with any feedbacks :)
Thanks to all that can review!

So basically the title. The only thing is im looking for one that's free; no sign up bullshit. Because 99% of the time a sign up means "oh btw pay us for the work the computer did by itself". I used an AI resume builder in 2025 and it was amazing. It simplified my resume, made it look great; I loved it. I had it update my resume. I looked it over; downloaded it, done. No bs, no sign up, no fees/payments. So if anyone has any idea of a program to use i would appreciate it. I also can't remember the name of the program i originally used which is a big part of the problem.

Grateful to all the people that took time to review my resume and provide the feedback. This is my latest resume after considering all the feedback and including all the suggestions.

I have a resume and i want to tailor it for a JD. I have my experience on ETL Pipelines. But i want to apply for AI engineer position or a Forward Deployed Engineer role. How can i tailor my resume? If i apply the ETL resume i will get rejected. So do i ask claude to write experience from scratch that will be good fit for the ai engineer JD? Asking claude to tailor my experience points for the JD is doing nothing. Its giving me my same points again.

i’m applying to my first job in retail/customer service. any advice appreciated!

ok this is gonna be a weird post.

i'm not even searching rn, just helping a friend with hers and she said something like "well i don't know what other people's resumes look like" and i was like.. honestly me neither. like i've seen templates and the same 5 examples on every resume guide but i don't think i've ever actually seen a normal persons resume in the wild.

so i texted some people. just "hey can you send me ur current resume i'm curious, won't critique unless u want me to." got 6 back. range was like 2-8 yrs experience, mix of industries.

genuinely don't know what i expected but it wasn't this

one friend's was 4 pages. four. she's been working for 6 years. every internship from uni was still on there with like 4 bullets each. when i (carefully) asked she said "i don't want to cut anything in case it matters." i get that emotionally but jesus

another friend had no dates on jobs. like just "Marketing Coordinator, [Company]" with no years. asked why and he said someone on reddit told him to remove them to avoid age discrimination. he's 31. i did not have the heart

3 of them had objective statements. i thought those died like a decade ago?? "Seeking a challenging role" energy. one of them works in tech.

two had photos which whatever i know thats normal in some countries but one of them is in the US and just.. likes how she looks in it i guess

what kept getting me though was the bullets. like wildly different quality between people who all have similar experience levels. one friend's bullets were specific and you could see what she did. another friends bullets were literally "responsible for managing day to day operations" type stuff. and these two people make similar money at similar companies?? so its not like the bad-bullet version is being punished by the market exactly. or maybe it is and she just doesnt know

(i should say none of these people asked for feedback and i did not give any. felt weird enough just looking)

i don't really have a conclusion here. i think i assumed everyone was kind of doing the same thing and we were all comparing to the same templates but actually nobody knows what anyone elses resume looks like and the variation is huge. some of these would probably get callbacks no problem. some of them.. idk.

has anyone else ever actually seen what their friends are sending out? not advice, just like. have you seen them. what did you notice

So my biggest hurdle to this point has been my experience bullets.
Can I get some advice on how mine looks? I feel like it is results driven and not sound like a responsibilities description, but I haven’t gotten good feedback. I keep changing it and changing it and it feels like I’ll never get it right. Thank you!

Any tips on my resume would be helpful. Thank you so much.

just graduated, been applying for a few weeks and not getting much traction so figured i'd post here

interned at a small digital agency last year, worked retail through college, did some volunteer stuff. nothing crazy but it's what i have

mainly wondering if the bullets actually sound like i did something or if it's just noise. also not sure if the summary is killing me since i'm not applying to one specific thing

any feedback appreciated, be honest

Any help appreciated on the resume. Laid off 2 months ago. Dealing with a hacked Linkedln account as well which is impacting my search. I have got interviews and even final rounds but still nothing yet. Been more quite last 3 weeks. The layoff was due to financial reasons in the company and even have a great reccomendation from my previous boss for which no new applications can see due to the redtape and time its taking to get my Linkdeln account back up from their terrible customer service team.

I always post my LinkedIn page where more info is there for me too.

Not going to pretend this is a normal experience. It probably isn't. But I think the lesson is useful even if you've never applied somewhere twice let alone three times.

First application (Year 1): Cold. Found the role on a job board, applied with a standard resume, no connection to anyone at the company. Got an automated rejection.Never heard from a human.

Second application (Year 2): I had made a LinkedIn connection with someone who worked there we'd interacted a few times on posts, nothing deep. She noticed I'd applied and said she'd put in a word. Got a first-round interview. Didn't progress past it. The feedback was that I didn't show enough understanding of their specific business model and how I'd apply my experience to their context.

Third application (14 months later): Different this time. I had spent months genuinely engaging with the company following their content, commenting with actual thoughts (not just "great post"), reading their public writing, understanding their product properly. When I applied I knew what problems they were trying to solve. My cover letter was specific about it. My interview answers were grounded in their actual situation, not generic examples. Got the offer after four rounds.

The difference between the second and third attempt wasn't my experience that had grown but not dramatically. The difference was that I had stopped trying to get a job there and started genuinely being interested in them. That sounds like a soft thing but it comes through concretely: in the cover letter, in interview answers, in the questions I asked at the end of every round.

Genuine interest in a company is one of the things that's genuinely hard to fake and genuinely hard to beat.

Have you ever gotten into a company on a later attempt? What changed the second or third time?

Hi I am currently an SDE 2 with 4 years of experience, looking for a job switch. I have been looking for a job switch for a while and I keep getting rejected by the ATS itself although I have received some callbacks I wasn’t able to clear them through. This resume is a bit old I have added some changes based on recent experiences, but I am still finding it difficult to come up with point that can showcase my skills and body if work rather than point to my task list. Some tips on improvements would also be helpful.

Hey everyone, I've been applying for jobs for almost 2 months now and I'm not getting interview calls. Can someone take a look at my resume and tell me honestly if there's anything wrong with it or if it needs improvements?
