Recruiters Aren’t Reading Your Resume

In partnership with

Hey there,

Here’s something nobody told you in college: your first job interview? It probably won’t be with a person.

It’ll be with a bot.

That’s right—before a recruiter ever sees your resume, you’re already being judged by AI. Today’s newsletter is all about how to beat the bots, stand out, and actually get hired in 2025.

Let’s break it down 👇

🤖 The First Person to "Reject" You Isn’t a Person

Most companies—big or small—are using AI at every stage of hiring:

• Resumes get scanned by applicant tracking systems (ATS) that look for keywords, structure, and formatting.

• Cover letters are filtered by NLP models.

• Video interviews are analyzed by AI for tone, body language, and delivery.

• Some recruiters even use ChatGPT-style bots to generate interview questions or rank candidates.

This means if your resume doesn’t speak AI, it might not get seen at all.

Kinda wild, right?

✅ How to Beat the Resume Bots (Without Losing Your Mind)

Here’s what you can actually do to boost your chances:

• Use keywords from the job description. Copy/paste is your friend—mirror the wording in your resume naturally.

• Keep the layout clean. Fancy templates with columns and icons confuse AI bots. Use simple, single-column formats.

• Quantify everything. Numbers > buzzwords. Instead of “helped improve marketing,” say “grew campaign engagement by 24%.”

• Skip headers and footers. Some bots don’t read them, so don’t put your contact info or key skills there.

• Don’t keyword stuff. Repeating “Python” 11 times won’t help you. Use it strategically where it matters.

🧠 Train With AI, Not Against It

If AI is part of the hiring process, why not use it to your advantage?

Here are 3 prompts you can run in ChatGPT or any AI assistant to help you prep smarter and faster:

🗣️ Simulate a Mock Interview

📄 Score My Resume Like a Bot

🕵️ Decode What They Really Want

Use these prompts to practice, audit, and refine every step of your job search. It's like having a career coach who works 24/7 (and doesn’t charge $200/hour).

🚀 The AI-Native Advantage

Here’s the good news: You don’t need 10 years of experience.
You just need to show that you get how work is changing.

More and more companies are looking for people who:

• Think in systems

• Can learn new tools fast

• Are curious enough to experiment with AI in real workflows

You don’t have to be an engineer. You just have to be adaptable, AI-literate, and able to ship.
