In every industry there are earlier adopters of new technology. There are good reasons why it takes people time, because which program is better for you, both individually and for the company you work for. However, those that tend to be young often are more quickly to adopt new technology. Often times they are not thinking what the ramifications are for adopting it, but they see value in using it. The latest new technology is AI and for younger people having AI help with their resume is a good thing to do.

Katrina McFadden, chief people officer at cannabis company Organigram, says her team has changed the types of questions they ask in interviews. In the past they would have asked questions that build on the CV. Now they use questions that dig into the CV.

AI resumes tend to be more generic and not especially good at highlighting someone’s unique experience and specific abilities. The resumes or CV tend to match the skill set asked for in the job qualifications.

We want to know how the person has used these skills, the outcomes they had and the progress they have made, and the interview should be in person (no using AI in the interview process).

A Robet Half survey conducted in April found 79% of the 1,500 hiring managers say they can identify when a candidate used AI to generate application materials.

Many applicants feel that an AI generated resume is the only way to get past the AI screening tools used by recruiters.

The questions you ask about stocks can be similar to the ones you ask about people.

There are more questions than answers, till the next time – to raising questions.
