‘It could ruin your chances’
Work seekers are heading to AI for everything that covers letters from career advice, but according to experts, too many candidates put “blind faith” on AI vehicles.
Accordingly 2025 Sunday Trend Report Approximately 65% of the recruitment company career group companies use AI at some point in the job application process.
Jen Delorenzo, the founder of Career Coach and Professional Coaching, The Career Raven, says that job seekers can face problems when they trust artificial intelligence too much.
He warns that many AI tools tend to hallucination or produce information to fulfill user requests. In Delorenzo’s experience, when AI is asked to rewrite a resume to coordinate with a job description, “the title will begin to lie if the title is not 100% alignment.”
And even if all the information is correct, the applications created by AI tend to share a certain uniformity according to a fractional recruitment and Jessye Kassye Kassye Kassel, the former career coach.
“When someone uses AI, you can say it completely, because suddenly I have six applications with all the same kind of structure and format, or he says.
According to Karlin, authentic, thoughtful answers are what makes the best candidates stand out among hundreds of applicants.
“Most of the time people actually overlook what we’re looking for,” he says, while everyone tries to adapt their applications to job description.
AI symptoms may be ‘crystal clarity’
Both Karlin and Delorenzo saw that customers had problems using AI for job applications.
One of Delorenzo’s customers found his resume in a difficult situation after using AI to rewrite for more than one job. He did not read before sending the resumes and then found that the AI vehicle exaggerated the work experience and added false information.
“When he got an interview, Delorenzo remembers Delorenzo,” when he got an interview, “Delorenzo remembers. “You should be able to talk to your bullet points and if you don’t have a story, this will be in crystal clarity.”
Karlin sees that he has applied for more than one job and accidentally contains AI requests to their answers to online application questions.
He remembers an unforgettable example that AI is going wrong: “Why do you want to work here?” “I have no feelings as artificial intelligence.”
“I, okay, we definitely need to read,” he laughs.
Best Applications to Use AI
Delorenzo warns that the process still requires human supervision, but not against using AI for job applications.
“You should really pay attention to him,” he says. “Unfortunately, it is easy to be lazy with people who want to rewrite their resumes every time.”
Karlin, the resumes produced by AI are usually filled with keywords, which can make them “shocking” to read them.
“So many word salad we finally get, or he says. “People who use their own words to tell me their effects are much more effective than people who use AI.”
Instead of using AI to create the first draft, Delorenzo asks for job seekers to write their resumes or cover letters on their own, and then to polish the language.
Delorenzo says, even when you train an AI tool to fulfill a task, Delorenzo says, “Still a lot of things wrong.” He saw that AI made big mistakes such as making the company wrong in a job application.
“Before you send it, you really need to take a look and check it twice, because it may be embarrassing, or he says. “It can definitely ruin your luck.”
The business process may be “exhausting and overwhelming,” says Karlin and “only allow vehicles to take over” may be attractive.
However, he says that employers are ultimately “not the tools you can use, but that they want to hire you”.
