Wasted $50 on an AI resume optimizer that couldn't even spot basic grammar mistakes
Honestly, I fell for one of those AI tools that claims to fix your resume for job hunting. Paid $50 for a month subscription, and it flagged 'managing' as a weak verb. After I ignored the advice and sent the original version anyway, I got three callbacks in a week. Has anyone else tried these AI career platforms and realized they're just guessing?

Wait, you actually got better results from the original resume? That's wild but honestly not surprising. I used to think these AI tools knew what they were doing, but after watching my roommate use one that kept saying 'led' was better than 'managed' for everything, I changed my mind. The tool just swapped random words without understanding context.

It told my buddy to replace "bananas" with "elongated yellow fruits". Completely MISSED the point. These things just swap words, they don't get the real meaning at all.
