Anecdata, sample size of one: When I was looking for my next role after being laid off, I didn’t get much of a response with my human handmade resume despite my experience Just for kicks, I asked ChatGPT to “Analyze my resume and give it a score for what percentage it was in” then I asked it to revise it to make it score as high as possible I still tweaked and fact checked it but after I started sending that out, I got a much higher hit rate than before But who knows, maybe the market changed, was a better time of year, etc I still had to pass interviews and prove my worth. But it probably helped me get my foot in the door
