Ask HN: Have you used AI to apply for jobs? How did it go?

I pop the CV itself into ChatGPT and ask it for feedback for specific roles to show what they seem to care about; I then *manually* change the focus of the CV — no automatic change, it makes stuff up.

Tried generating cover letters for ads that want them, given I suck at writing cover letters, but IMO ChatGPT also sucks for them, it's just shameless about the suck.

However, no dice.

Haven’t used one myself yet, but would love to see an AI that handles everything- apply, track, and prep — like a real assistant. Anyone seen anything close?

There are quite a few competing tools: - https://blaze.today/blog/ai-job-application-tools/

I'm sure there are many more.

ALL of them want $$, NEVER pay for job leads.....

I use it for re-wording bullet points in my CV.
