Five hundred and eighty seven job postings in one week. Four worth an application.

You have sent dozens of applications, maybe hundreds, and heard nothing back. Job Hunting in the Age of AI is
a one-hour, plain-spoken guide to why that happens and what to do instead. It opens around 1970, with a
graduate student asking a few hundred workers how they found their jobs, and an answer that still explains
hiring today: not a friend, an acquaintance.

Then it follows what happened when AI made applying free. Why a polished, tailored cover letter stopped
meaning anything. Where the famous claim that software rejects three quarters of applications really came from,
and what actually happens after you press send. Why the door for beginners narrowed, and why some of the
jobs you apply for were never there. Four short chapters cover the mistakes that make an application easy to
ignore: letting the machine write the letter, applying to everything, missing the fine print, and trying to trick the
filter.

Then the practice: ten steps for a search a person on the other side will answer, and a thirty day plan to rebuild
yours around them. For graduates, career changers, people coming back to work, and anyone applying through
a screen and hearing nothing.

No promise of a job. No tricks for beating the machines. Just how hiring works now, and how to reach a human.
