"Mystery of 100 Clicks" Why does every job post on LinkedIn already show "100+ applicants" within minutes of going live? Turns out, a lot of job seekers are now using AI auto-apply tools — feed it a base resume, point it at the job boards, and it rewrites your resume around each posting's keywords, beats the ATS, and applies to hundreds of jobs a day. No fingers moved. Score: a claimed 95-100% match. Now flip to the employer's side. The volume is unmanageable, so AI pre-screens too. The irony: once everyone optimizes against the same job description, every resume starts to look the same — and somehow every candidate claims to have done it all, flawlessly. I wonder that this guy knows how to create time , perhaps 72 hours inside a 24-hour day🤔Strip out the client names and dates, and it's the same resume wearing different clothes; same words" spearheaded, orchestrated etc", same way to start a sentence and same look .🤯 So now it's AI screening resumes written by AI. Both sides stuck, from opposite ends.🙀 The smarter move: be the reviewer, not the passenger. Build one honest base resume, let AI help adapt it, but stay in the loop so it still sounds like you. Personally, I want roles where I'm not a 100% match. Growth happens at the edge of what you already know, not the middle of it. There were good days when a resume itself told you something about a person. Where do you think this actually goes next — more AI matching AI, or back to humans talking to humans? #Hiring #Recruiting #AIinHiring #TalentAcquisition #JobSearch
