Grow up and get a job, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Until it wasn’t. Isn’t it amazing how, as children, so many of us are obsessed with becoming adults? Making money, driving cars, staying up late, doing whatever we want, whenever we want… But that life gets old fast. Pun fully intended. Especially when we realize it also entails getting up early and slogging away at work. To make money. To pay bills. Rinse. Repeat. And that’s if you’re lucky enough to actually find a job in this really tough employment landscape.

If you’re tweeting about work, from work, it’s safe to say you have a job. Congratulations… Whether you love your work or not, you’re doing something to make money, and you’re contributing to society. There are millions of Americans who are unemployed. Some by choice. Others because it’s really not always easy to get hired.

And according to online career resources platform, Resume Genius, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has thrown another spanner in the works when it comes to the recruitment process. The company recently polled 1,000 full-time U.S. employees to understand how AI is transforming recruitment. They looked at things like the growing demand for AI-related skills, and the challenges of verifying a candidate’s identity and qualifications.

“AI has undoubtedly changed the game when it comes to hiring,” Resume Genius Career Expert, Eva Chan told Bored Panda when we reached out for more information. She added that in many cases, AI is now the first filter candidates have to pass.

“Nearly half of the hiring managers we surveyed said they use AI to screen resumes before a human even sees them,” said Chan. “Some use it to match applicants to roles, assess interview responses, or even send out the first emails to candidates.”

But Chan warns that while AI tools help companies hire faster and more efficiently, it has also made it harder to tell when a candidate is being genuine. “A lot of hiring managers are starting to feel like they’re interviewing ChatGPT instead of a real person,” she revealed.

The expert says AI can be a great sidekick for job seekers. If used well. “It can help polish your resume, tailor your cover letter, prep for common interview questions, or suggest ways to frame your experience more clearly,” Chan told us. “Think of it as a very nerdy friend who’s good at wording things. Just don’t let it do all the talking.”

If you think you’ll get away with letting ChatGPT do all the work for you, think again. “Hiring managers are getting better at spotting AI-generated content, and if your application sounds too generic or oddly formal, it can backfire on you. The goal is still to sound like the best version of yourself,” she advises.
