AI can absolutely make resume writing faster and easier, but it’s not a magic wand. If you rely on it to generate your resume from scratch, you’ll end up with something that looks polished at first glance but does you no favors in a real job search. Why?

Shelley Piedmont, Career Coach and Former HR Director, recently talked about this in our webinar: I am in a lot of recruiter groups and what we’re seeing is that totally…
