  • Job seekers are fighting back against online assessments

    Job seekers are fighting back against online assessments
    2026/02/10
    Stop gaming the ATS! Learn to ethically optimize your résumé for AI without getting flagged for hidden text or deception. The job market has entered an arms race where candidates are using chatbots and résumé tools to extract keywords and rephrase work history to nudge employer screening software because the first stage of screening is heavily automated. On this episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast, we separate signal from noise by distinguishing between ethical optimization and risky falsification. Optimization involves using AI to make your real experience clearer, mirroring the employer’s exact language for skills, and simplifying complex layouts to ensure the text parser doesn't stumble. This is encouraged by career coaches and recruiters because it improves communication. Falsification, on the other hand, is lying, such as fabricating titles or employers, which background checks and reference calls are designed to uncover. The gray area includes aggressive optimization tactics like keyword stuffing or hiding text in white font, which some candidates argue relates to the job, but employers view as deceptive gaming the system, similar to packing website meta tags. While these tricks can sometimes temporarily raise a résumé's rank, modern Applicant Tracking Systems neutralize formatting and prioritize contextual experience over raw keyword frequency. Humans still decide who gets hired, and if tricks like invisible text or page long keyword dumps are exposed, trust evaporates instantly. The most effective strategy is to use AI strictly as an editor to condense and clarify your genuine experience, ensure your layout is simple and text first, and back up all claims with verifiable artifacts like portfolios or metrics. This durable strategy focuses on fairness and proof of skill, increasing the odds that the right people get seen and hired. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How to stand out in a sea of AI-generated resumes

    How to stand out in a sea of AI-generated resumes
    2026/02/03
    The application crisis is here. Applications are up 45% due to AI agents that send 50 resumes daily. Learn the five ways employers fight back. This episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast reveals what job seekers need to know about how employers are moving away from reactively trying to spot spam and moving toward proactive prevention methods designed to stop generic, low-interest resumes from entering the applicant tracking system. AI-driven software agents, which submit generic resumes showing little regard for a candidate’s qualification, fit, or genuine interest, are leading to significant consequences for companies, including extended hiring times, recruiter stress, and poor hiring quality, with 62% of companies already firing new hires because their skills didn’t match their AI-inflated resumes. Employers are adopting five key defensive strategies to combat this high volume. Candidates should prepare for the "pay to apply" model, which 20% of employers are considering, involving a small fee usually between $10 and $25, which acts as a barrier because AI agents cannot make payments. Other strategies include limiting applications per candidate per month, often with a penalty for violation, and requiring applicants to complete the familiar "I am not a robot" verification features. Crucially, companies are prioritizing employee referrals, which represent measurably superior candidates with the highest probability of being interviewed and hired, and they are avoiding job boards that offer one-click "easy apply" features. For students and recent graduates, the path to a great career involves prioritizing targeted applications and networking over relying on the quick, high-volume methods that employers are actively trying to eliminate.

  • Job scams on trusted job boards like LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and Indeed

    Job scams on trusted job boards like LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, and Indeed
    2026/01/27
    Job scams are sophisticated and rising 19%, costing Americans $300M. Learn to spot fakes on LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, and other trust job search sites. The current labor market, marked by high long-term unemployment and intense competition, is exploited by increasingly innovative scammers who post jobs nearly indistinguishable from legitimate listings, even on highly trusted platforms. These complex schemes prey on job seekers' desperation and fear, aiming to lure them into handing over sensitive data like Social Security numbers or bank account details, or to install malicious software via deceptive links. On this episode of the From Dorms to Desk Podcast, we discuss how online job scams have risen significantly, costing Americans nearly $300 million this year, with a typical victim losing around $2,000. The vulnerability is high because the data contained in a résumé or provided during an interview is highly valuable and can be monetized over time. We share real-life stories, including how tech-savvy individuals were fooled until they noticed subtle red flags, such as slightly incorrect email domain names or bizarre recruiter behavior, and discuss associated financial traps like the fraudulent check scam for remote equipment purchases. To combat this threat, job seekers must remain extremely vigilant and look for warnings like alleged recruiters with little activity, immediate pressure to move conversations to third-party platforms like WhatsApp, or requests for personal information early in the process. College Recruiter enhances candidate security by requiring all job postings to be paid for by the employer, creating a financial barrier that deters fake employers who tend to gravitate to sites that don't require payment, a crucial step likened to locking your front door.
