I don't know the solution to this; you have a similar problem in education where students generate their homework with AI, teachers grade it with AI, and you have to question whether the institution makes sense anymore.

It's the companies that should change their interview process.

I’m looking for a job (software engineer) since two months ago and I haven’t landed a single interview. 0. Null. Nothing. I don’t know if the problem is my age, or the fact that people are not reading cv’s anymore because an AI recruitment software is analyzing the applications, or if there aren’t enough jobs out there.

Back in the days, finding a new job was always super easy for me. Not just as a programmer. Before that I was working on another industry and even without formal qualifications, I was always hired because I had all of the skills needed. The difference is that during that time (2012-2018) interviews were face to face, on site, so it was easy to check if a candidate was a fit. And I was younger. I guess that was a thing that helped.

When I switched to engineering, same thing. I always had a job at good companies, with recognized clients, or building widely used software products.

This is the first time I’m struggling with being unemployed. It’s a huge change. I even miss the small talk with a recruiter before the interview questions. I was not fired, I quit. I thought it was going to be easy to find something (as always!) but I was wrong.

Oops I mixed a lot of things. But I am sooo frustrated rn.
