I literally just found out about Loom yesterday while scanning upwork (yes, I know!) to see what’s going on. A lot of companies say “must send a loom video or will not be considered” which seems odd to me. It’s odd they have a preference of the video hosting as I’d prefer to just self host a video on my own domain.
Anyway, tried out loom and it s pretty freaking feature bloated but suppose it’s nice the title can auto-generate based on auto-transcription…? Yikes now that I’m thinking about it more.
Recently laid off and not a big AI guy… but to illustrate your points:
Tailoring + proofing resumes to _manually_ apply to jobs is a great application of LLMs in my experience. But I wouldn’t want an AI to apply for jobs for me.
Funny thing about that. This time last year I was applying for jobs and kept my same old latex generated flawed human resume that I’ve been using 20 years or so.
Recruiters said it was standing out in the tech sector. Apparently AI likes to embellish way too much so you don’t trust it.
