Pro tip: I tried to write my own cover letters for a month, then used an AI tool for a week

The AI got me three callbacks in that week, while my own letters got zero. The difference was it pulled keywords from the job posts I missed. Anyone have other AI job search tricks that actually work?

Honestly this is everywhere now, not just job stuff. The internet is basically a keyword matching game and we all have to play. My pest control website gets way more calls when I stuff it with what people google, even if it sounds dumb. Feels like you need to hack the system just to be seen for what you actually do.

It even works for internal promotion applications.

Yeah that's a solid point from @evahenderson. I mean, it's wild how much of this stuff is just about knowing the right words to use, even inside a company. You'd think they'd know you already, but you still gotta play the game. It feels like you need a secret decoder ring just to get people to see the work you're already doing.
