How to NOT stand out when looking for a job ? I've noticed a lot of AI-generated applications lately, especially an increase in candidates using generic AI content for the "Why I'm interested in this job" section. It's understandable given the rise of generative AI, but most of the time, this approach doesn't improve your chances of getting the job. Instead, it makes you stand out less. These days, it's common to get hundreds of applications for one role, and the competition can be insane. But ironically, it's EASIER than before to stand out from the crowd. You just have to be PERSONAL again, instead of trying to AI-personalize it ?? Using AI as a tool to write a resume, cover letter, or explain why you're a fit is totally fine. BUT, when everyone uses AI the same way, it all ends up sounding extremely similar to a recruiter, and that doesn't help you stand out. My simple advice: Use AI to get started, for proofreading, or to get your ideas flowing. But then make the motivation yours. Add your personality, and show why you're genuinely interested in the job. That personal touch makes all the difference. Applying for jobs is time-consuming, for sure. But use AI where it can truly make an impact and improve your chances, not where it decreases them. Any thoughts on this? (... and yes, this post is definitely "powered by AI") ?? ??
