Free (government funded) AI workshop for resumes, coverletters, and job hunting.

Most of it was useless but some of it was extremely informative.

I forget the exact statistic (from StatsCanada per my instructor) but a high percent (50-75) of resumes get auto-rejected by something called ATS. Basically an automated system for HR. And sometimes it can be something as simple as the system noticing you're using AI...

Let that sink in for a sec there. AI rejecting you for using... AI. OOF.
