Artificial intelligence is not only transforming workplaces but also revolutionizing the job search process, whether job seekers want it to or not. Increasingly, job seekers are turning to AI to craft their resumes, while employers are using AI to screen and reject applications without human intervention. "Being a job seeker, a candidate in the marketplace can be kind of scary," said Dominic Millitello, a career strategist at the University of Utah. The integration of AI into the job search can add to this anxiety. Career advisor Jamie Johnson noted what she's seen in the last few years, "We started seeing candidates say why can't I find a job? Why are my resumes being rejected? I'm sending out resumes everywhere and nothing is happening."Utah sees sharpest fertility rate decline in nation as costs of parenthood increaseResume Builder reports that 70 percent of companies now use AI to screen applications, and a recent market trend report found that 65 percent of job candidates are using AI in their job search. Millitello believes AI can be of real benefit for those seeking a job, saying, "AI in my opinion, has really leveled the playing field for candidates." AI can assist job seekers in enhancing their cover letters, resumes, career exploration, interview preparation, and negotiations, according to Millitello.A study from career platform Zety found that 42 percent of human resource managers consider AI in the application process to be unethical. Johnson pointed out that some individuals rely entirely on AI to write their resumes, which can lead to inaccuracies. "Sometimes AI will even add tools, and skills and things you don't have and certifications," she said. This can result in mismatches during interviews, as Johnson recounted, "He was just letting AI write it for him and then he'd get in there and nothing would work out." Experts agree that the job search process has evolved. "It's not just about acquiring the skills anymore," said Millitello. Johnson emphasized the need for adaptation, stating, "You can't use the same resume anymore. None of us can. We all have to adapt."
