Man used AI to apply to 1,000 jobs while he was sleeping and couldn't believe what he woke up too

Man used AI to apply to 1,000 jobs while he was sleeping and couldn't believe what he woke up too

The bot did everything from rewriting his CV to applying for jobs

Imagine letting a bot do all your job hunting while you sleep peacefully, knowing you're being productive without lifting a finger.

That's exactly what one man did.

One Reddit user claimed their 'technological revolution' completely changed their job search.

The user, who had since deleted their account, revealed how they created an AI bot to revolutionise his job search, whilst he slept in their bed.

And yes it worked, according to him, securing over 50 job interviews.

They revealed the AI did most of the heavy lifting, handling everything from rewriting their CV and cover letter to automatically applying them for jobs they were suitable for.

Crazily enough, the bot was 'incredibly effective at passing through automated screening systems,' the creator claimed.

“I created an AI bot that: Analyzes candidate information, examines job descriptions, generates unique CVs and cover letters for each job, answers specific questions that recruiters ask, automatically applies to jobs," he wrote.

“And all of this while I was sleeping! In just one month, this method helped me secure around 50 interviews. The tailored CVs and cover letters, customized based on each job description, made a significant difference.”

Explaining their thinking, they explained that AI is already transforming hiring processes, with many companies using similar technology to screen applicants.

Obviously, something like this is going to have mixed reactions from others.

But the user did make it clear that they're aware of the ethical considerations in this approach to getting a job.

He later clarified that 'the bot was created for educational and informative purposes only' and they 'do not recommend the use of this bot for obvious ethical reasons.'

He continued: “We'll need to find a delicate balance between the efficiency of artificial intelligence and the richness of human interactions. Only then can we build a future of work that is not just productive, but also fulfilling and meaningful for everyone.”

However, not everyone was onboard with his method of using technology to avoid doing the grunt work. Some went as far as to call the creator a 'fraud.'

One person warned: "Careful. Companies are starting to add a "no AI" rule for resumes/applications. We already do and I even suspect AI was used, your resume goes straight in the trash."

Others were more accepting of the times: "Unethical? I don't know. Companies use AI to read applications/ resumes so it's pretty much bot talking to bot. If it gets me the job in the 21st century then like the old 20th century saying goes, all's fair in love and war."
