"The problem is less that candidates are using A.I. — a skill many employers say they want — than it is that they’re being sloppy. Alexa Marciano, the managing director of Syndicatebleu, a recruiting agency, said job seekers were reacting to recruiters’ use of automated screening. “It’s really frustrating for the candidates because they spend all this time creating very catered cover letters, very catered résumés,” she said.
Jeremy Schifeling, a career coach who regularly conducts technology-focused job-search training at universities, said he could see this back-and-forth going on for a while. “As students get more desperate, they say, ‘Well, I have no choice but to up the ante with these paid tools to automate everything.’ And I’m sure the recruiters are going to raise the bar again.”
He argues the endgame will be authenticity from both sides. But, he said, “I do think that a lot of people are going to waste a lot of time, a lot of processing power, a lot of money until we reach that realization.”"

Recruiters say they are seeing a surge of résumés that they suspect have been generated using ChatGPT.

Applause, please, for the companies that have managed to make jobhunting even worse, thanks to AI. @404mediaco’s Samantha Cole reports on the experiences of a woman named Ken, who was interviewed by an AI avatar that said “vertical bar pilates” 14 times in a row. She related her experiences on TikTok and received more than 3,000 comments, many sharing similar stories. “A company tried to send me to an AI interview for an HR position… Why would I want to work HUMAN resources for a company that won’t even dignify me with human interaction???” one person wrote.

Just watches this ACRL webinar Getting Hired - A Practical Guide to the Academic Librarian Job Search. Although the recruitment practice is different from country to country, some tips the speakers shared are applicable for any early-career librarians. I learned a lot myself. #librarians #jobseeking #libraryjobs

[in the US – and beyond? – recruiting, especially technical recruiting, is very badly broken and ineffectual, with hiring managers not getting to see the most viable and valuable candidates]

Okay, so! I'm job hunting. I have

* worked with Python for over 15 years, combined with C for around 10;
* maintained & upgraded a proprietary search engine for over a decade;
* redesigned & overhauled legacy core code that was eating dev & support time;
* mentored junior devs.

I'm ideally looking for

* room to grow

Boosts very appreciated; CV: kathymurdoch.nevira.net/static

Not sure how I feel about this... but it popped up in my climate change RSS feed and there might be someone here who could do some good with this position? Yale is looking for a Data Scientist, focused on machine learning, "to lead the design, development, and implementation of machine learning models and operations as part of an academic organization devoted to supporting academics and practitioners in climate change research and communication."

I'm #JobSeeking!

If you do interesting things in the #DistributedSystems space that aren't predicated on market-based solutionism, I would love to come write #Rust & #JavaScript apps or work on #SystemsArchitecture and infrastructure with you. I also do pretty decent #CareWork and #CommunityManagement in teams which aspire to be human-centered.

I'm especially interested in roles within organizations lead by #queer and #FirstNations peoples and #anarchist groups doing #MutualAid efforts.

Hey! Did you know I once put #Doom and #gameboy (playable!) on credit card machines? Or ported Wordle to #PalmOS ? I've been plumbing all sorts of #tech into all sorts of other tech professionally for almost a decade now (unprofesionally for 16 years!) with an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of computers and low-level embedded code. I can also do killer hand-crafted #webdesign without relying on platforms or frameworks! And I can draw you in #pixelart for a modest price!

I'm currently 99% unemployable due to being legally in Brazil and physically in the UK. I've been without a stable income for 2 years now and I desperately need something my way. If you know of any commission or contract work that won't bug me with where I am geographically, please let me know!
