    It also assumes that the recruiter is even using ChatGPT, when the majority aren’t. Companies use tailored ATS to compare the criteria of a job posting to information and keywords contained in a given resume.

    Furthermore, AFAIK, these systems do not take inputs or instructions when scanning resumes, so this seems highly unlikely to have any impact whatsoever.

      Yeah, this LLM jailbreak stuff all falls apart once they’re using any kind of actual “algorithm”, or if they notice the tomfoolery.

      That said, if people are seeing results with it, more power to them.

      Don’t they just rank keywords and assign points? It’s not even an AI, afaik.

      edit - although at that point it could be interesting to white font their key words back at them…

      Would it not be better two have a million key words hidden in your text? A bit like websites do or did. I don’t know much about SEO but it should be more like that.

      Filled with bs words that the Ai might be looking for for this particular job description.

        While hiding a bunch of likely keywords in the resume to increase the match rate is a good idea in theory, it’s a fairly well-known trick by now, so some ATSs may already be programmed to watch for it.

        Also, some of them apparently export the text of your resume into a recruiter-friendly spreadsheet, which could get screwed up if you’ve hidden a few hundred extra words in there.
