I hope it didn’t, contaminating the applications like this and automating it will only hurt the ones who’s applying, because now authentic resumes and legit knowledge will be overlooked by other fake auto generated resumes. This try hard wannabe attitude is always going to ruin the experience for everyone else, either in jobs, blog writings, dating, gaming, and basically everywhere.

Yeah. With the genie being as far out of the bottle as it is though, I opted for empathy for the unemployed guy in this case.

I can see your point, absolutely, and the new normal is unfortunate and probably unsustainable.

Careers boards are just another early battleground where we're at a bit of a wait and see moment as for how we're going to deal with all of this cheap, coherent noise.
