There are real stories to tell in text (prior experience, projects, certifications, tangible skills), and that sets the stage for the real conversations. Then it’s all about technical questions that require technical answers, and will this person thrive in our team.

Couldn’t agree more.

I’m in the job market and I have resisted turning to AI for help with my resume. I feel that while AI could absolutely improve upon it the result would not represent who I really am. As a result I am enjoying an extended vacation.

I'm not sure if it's real-time yet, but video can also be faked well enough to fool people. Might just be real conversations left.

Although even then, when the AI gets competent enough… if you can't tell, does it matter?

Works both ways of course; when it's good enough in that sense, nobody is hiring either.
