Imagine using AI to write your resume, only for another AI to grade it, and an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) powered by AI to auto-reject it. It's happening. Even qualified people are being rejected before a human sees their application. We're in a wild new era where AI is both helping and hindering us simultaneously. It definitely makes you ponder the future.
