AI-Enhanced Resumes: Hiring Managers’ Latest Crush
With the big entrance in the area of AI-enhanced resumes, your old-school one is about as useful as a floppy disk. We’ve got the news straight from the horse’s mouth: hiring managers are head over heels for AI-enhanced resumes. Your resume now needs a tech makeover, and no, a new font won’t cut it.
The Big, Bad World of AI Resumes
A recent survey by Canva and Sago confirmed what we’ve suspected: nearly half of job seekers are now buddying up with AI to jazz up their resumes. And why wouldn’t they? When 90% of hiring managers nod in approval, it’s clear the AI resume is not just a fad; it’s practically a mandate.
The AI Detectives in HR
Here’s a fun fact: 67% of hiring managers believe they can spot an AI-modified resume. But let’s be honest – if you’ve tailored your resume using AI correctly, that’s like saying you can spot a wig from a mile away. Sure, Jan. The truth is, the AI wave in resumes is sneaky, and whether HR admits it or not, it’s changing the game.
Visual Resumes And AI-Enhanced Resumes
Text is so 2020. In 2024, it’s all about those striking visual elements in your CV. Nearly 60% of hiring managers are swooning over CVs that ditch the plain Jane look for some visual oomph. Purely text-based resumes are predicted to be as obsolete as dial-up internet in five years. However, most pretty resumes from Canva won’t cut it through an ATS! So, though we’re going to ditch all-text-based resumes in the near future, you still have to abide by the rules of the almighty ATS!
Why You Should Embrace the AI For Your Resume
Amy Schultz from Canva says AI in resumes is like a springboard – it’s the starting block to launch your job-hunting game into the stratosphere. With recruiters spending a laughable 7.4 seconds scanning your life’s work, you need all the help you can get.
