I have a job I don’t quite like and I’m shooting applications elsewhere. I work full time and I’m also looking for another job in my city that fits my qualifications. I cannot change states or move to another city, it is what it is.

So far I’ve sent 5 apps for positions that interest me: 2 have answered, one could offer me a different but similar job (position already filled) and the other one, while fitting what I majored in, means constant stress, plans that change constantly, even several times a day, a pay reduction and the last 2 who applied to do this quit in 4 and 6 months respectively.

At least they were honest during the interview, but I now feel depressed. I was hoping to work there and quit my current job.

    I like the custom-resume-per-job idea, but using AI to generate it is a really bad idea unless you very closely comb through it and edit and clean up things. At that point you may as well just create it yourself.

      The AI isn’t “generating” it - it’s just whittling down from what you provide to it and swapping out synonyms to match the job description. Try it - you shouldn’t need to make any manual edits if the input data and prompt line up correctly.
