Stumbled on a stat about AI hiring bias that made me rethink my resume
I was reading a Pew Research study last night and found out that around 42% of job applicants have been screened out by an AI system before a human even saw their resume. That hit me because I've been tweaking my resume for keywords without realizing I'm basically trying to trick a bot. It makes me wonder if I'm missing out on jobs just because my wording doesn't match some algorithm's preference. Has anyone else felt like they're gaming a system rather than actually applying for a job?

That part about "tweaking my resume for keywords" got me thinking. How do you even figure out what keywords the bot wants if every company uses a different system? Like one job might want "leadership" but another wants "team management" and they're basically the same thing but the AI might not see it that way. Are you just guessing at this point or did you find some trick to know which words actually work?

Saw a Harvard Business Review piece saying one company's AI flagged veterans as a bad fit.
