I worked on a side project that generated the AI resume and cover letter. I did a controlled experiment applying for jobs with the generic vs AI customized resume. The AI customized resume out performed the generic resume by 4x. https://customizedresumes.com/custom-vs-generic-resumes

I don't want to hate on your side project, but the AI is clearly hallucinating things to fit the job description. In the ServiceNow result (first I saw with an interview/reject difference), the custom resume claims Jenkins experience, which is in the job listing but nowhere in either the AI base or generic resumes. Same for NinjaTrader and distributed systems + Scala + Github Actions, Upside and data engineering, BigTime and C#.

That's like comparing your "AI customized resume" to shitting on the hiring manager's desk

You'll be shocked to find out which performed better!

What's so bad about a "generic" resume? I assume this means one that just honestly describes your experience rather than tailoring it to the job applied for to make it seem you're a better fit than you really are. It's up to the person (hopefully) reading your resume to decide whether you're enough of a potential fit to take to the next step (technical screening call?).

The AI resume - was it a real human resume which was optimized in some way for the role specification, or was it generated from scratch for the role specification?
