I can't give any of these my personal +1 as I haven't used them, but I've seen their names around for years. Good luck!

ChatGPT.

i recently started my job search, and asked it for a list of top 10 companies with recent funding announcements and remote work that fit my profile.

I expanded on this a few times, reached out to their career pages and recruitment. Landed 2 interviews and I'm in the final round for both. It took about 35 applications.

It also helped me tune my resume and cover letter. Be sure to put things through an AI detector to avoid being filtered out for sounding like AI

Fascinating. Thanks!

This is real? So corporations are allowed to use AI to write job listings and process resumes, but we’re not allowed to use it to help write our resumes?

No idea, but it's an easy thing to fix, so why not.

Welcome to the jungle is a good one if you're looking for a tech job.

But the truth is you'll have to slog through the bullshit regardless. It took me 7 months and several hundred applications to find my current job, and I basically only got an interview because my wife works here and her boss knows me and works closely with my boss.

Edit: and I took a physical laborer position at the job so I'd already be in the system. I went from making $130k a year to $15 an hour for 16 hours a week just to get a job making half of what I was making, although there's serious job security.
