A new study has found that job seekers who use AI language models, such as ChatGPT, to create their resumes or cover letters may face rejection from hiring managers and recruiters. According to a report by talent cloud company iCIMS, 47% of college seniors are interested in using AI bots for job applications. However, 39% of HR professionals consider the use of AI during the hiring process to be a deal breaker. While ChatGPT may enhance productivity and communication for both candidates and employers, graduates are advised to stick with the conventional approach of writing their resumes and cover letters.
