[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't get an interview, it is your resume. How do people know how old you are if you don't list jobs from 20 years ago? [/quote]

AI is trained to recognize things. I don't know the specifics, but think about a person who leaves off the early years of their career. Resume starts with a much higher level of job that straight out of college type job. That alone is a red flag for someone who is trying to seem younger.

I love reading people’s wildly inflated ideas of what AI can do and is doing. No, “AI” isn’t cleverly figuring out your age and then discarding your resume. Some not-well-paid human being is looking at 200 resumes in the “new” box, sighing, and skimming through the resumes at about five seconds each.

Do you work for a very small company?  Because I work for a Fortune 500 and we have used software to do initial screenings for 20 years. [/quote]
