Using AI To Find Your Next Job!

In this video, Greg Trzeciak from Pragmatic Works dives into the powerful ways Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enhance your job search efforts. With over 90% of companies using Automatic Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen job applications, it’s critical to adapt to these systems to ensure your resume doesn’t get lost in the shuffle. Here's how AI, like Manis AI, can help optimize your job search and get you noticed.

Understanding ATS and the Importance of AI

Over 90% of companies now use ATS to manage their hiring process. While many job seekers believe their applications are not even being read, it’s more likely that their resumes are being discarded because they don’t contain the right keywords. The key to getting your application noticed is to tailor your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile to match the job description using relevant keywords.

Greg Trzeciak’s Experience with Manis AI

Greg shares his personal experience using Manis AI, a tool that can search job sites, extract relevant job descriptions, and generate tailored resumes and cover letters. He provides a real-world example of how Manis AI helped him by creating a comprehensive list of job applications and even completing cover letters with the right keywords.

How Manis AI Works

Here’s how Manis AI works:

• It searches job sites for positions that match your desired salary, location, and job description.
• The AI then writes resumes and cover letters, including the relevant keywords that are essential for ATS systems.
• Greg provides a data analyst cover letter as an example, showing how the AI seamlessly integrates the right keywords into the text.
• It even helps with customizing your resume for specific fields, such as healthcare or project management, by identifying relevant skills and experiences.
