AI 與求職


Introduction

Many companies and job seekers now use AI to find work and hire people.

現在許多公司和求職者都使用 AI 來尋找工作和招聘人員。

Main Body

Many bosses use AI to read resumes. Some AI tools reject people automatically. At the same time, many young people use AI to write their resumes. Now, many resumes look the same.

許多老闆使用 AI 來閱讀履歷。有些 AI 工具會自動拒絕申請者。同時,許多年輕人使用 AI 來撰寫履歷。現在,許多履歷看起來都大同小異。

Some AI tools cannot read PDFs with images. Do not put too many keywords in your resume. Instead, show how you helped your old company make money or save time.

有些 AI 工具無法讀取含有圖片的 PDF 檔。不要在履歷中放入過多的關鍵字。相反地,應展現您如何幫助前公司獲利或節省時間。

Companies now have too many resumes. Some companies now use tests to check skills. Other experts say you should talk to people directly to get a job.

公司現在收到了太多履歷。有些公司現在使用測試來檢查技能。其他專家則建議您應該直接與人接觸以獲得工作。

Conclusion

AI is fast, but people still need to show they are special to get a job.

AI 雖然快速,但人們仍需要證明自己的獨特性才能獲得工作。
