I asked ChatGPT to review my resume and make changes tailored for the job description I was applying to (which I also gave it). Also told it that this was an internal position and not really an upgrade, but a sidestep that (I felt at the time) was more aligned with my long-term career goals.
I was really happy with the improvements it suggested.
Didn’t get the job, but as I understand it, the hiring manager wanted to bring in a friend of his from the moment he posted it.
In retrospect, I’m kinda glad that’s how it panned out. Myself and the new guy are operationally equal, he’s incredibly competent. We compliment each other well, and get along great.
And he’s friends with the big boss and thus has his ear.
The main reason I even applied to the job was because I wouldn’t want to work with anyone but myself in that job. And he’s close enough. .
I did get an interview for it, which ultimately just became a 1:1 with the boss and it gave us a chance to talk openly about where I see deficiencies that need fixing. All in all it went great. Six or so months later and I’m feeling a renaissance in the air at work. Like the things I talked about with him are now front-and-center and getting the attention they needed.
This company moves quite slowly, so six months (basically, new fiscal) seems incredibly quick.
