Synopsis
Applicants use AI in their job applications to improve their chances. HR uses AI to filter out applicants who use AI in their applications. No one gets hired.
This talk tries to answer 3 questions based on 30 years of working at a senior technical level in the IT industry and coaching Computer Science students.
1) What parts of the career coaching do we need to do better?
2) What career wisdom can we share with young people?
3) What’s next?
