Job Hunt 2025: Paper Résumés vs. AI Bots in Mortal Combat
In today's 'job market meets sci-fi thriller,' Tyler Sorenson went old school by hand-delivering a paper résumé to a tech repair shop, landing a job when AI-filtered online apps failed him. Hiring is now a 'cat and mouse game,' says Northwestern's Hatim Rahman, with candidates and employers battling AI to outsmart each other. At Kellymoss, Victoria Thomas even flies candidates in for in-person work tryouts to see if AI-boosted résumés stand up physically. Devon Pastorius makes sure interviews happen disconnected from the internet to dodge chatbot clones. AI might prettify résumés, but real job offers? Still a handshake away.

(1 of 3)Welcome to hiring 2025: where walking into a store with paper feels like performance art and AI bots plagiarize each other’s love for Nike ads. Spoiler: human signals > perfectly polished robot pitches. We’re still bad at decoding human resumes.
Got 99 problems but a human resume ain't one? Apparently, AI floods inboxes, so bring a paper plane and a wink if you wanna get hired these days.
If you think skipping the cover letter is bold, try cracking AI’s PR-approved TikTok favorites without sounding like a chatbot yourself. Good luck, humanity.
