As the world returns to work, crafting the perfect resume has never been more important.

However, staying ahead of the curve could help you stand out and defeat the bots that are more likely than not going to be reading your resume.

An influx of new websites offering AI-supported resume-checking software might become a requirement for anyone wishing to reenter the workforce.

My response:

✔️ What About the Human Touch?

“While automation is not going anywhere, I’m always an advocate of having the human touch when it comes to resume writing,” says Matthew Warzel, the president of the resume-writing firm MJW Careers.

Mr. Warzel has worked in recruitment, outplacement, career coaching, and resume writing for the past fifteen years. He is hesitant to give too much power to this new software. “No software can output statements that are personal and customized for each client,” he says.

“Sure, they can take a bunch of canned statements and weave in the most specific to the targeted role of the client, but that won’t have as much of an effect when it’s done by a professional human.”

Will the bots replace hiring managers altogether? Or are we heading towards a future hybrid model for job applications?

Robots may be cheaper, but experts like Mr. Warzel still believe humans do it better.
