I know the market is ass rn, I’ve been looking for a job since I graduated in November of last year with no luck. Every application I get a response like “you are great, your skills are great, you meet every criteria but we found someone better”. I recently decided to start replying to emails to ask why I wasn’t picked (I reply only to emails that aren’t from no-reply or if the say I can ask for feedback). So far I have not even received one reply. Am I wasting my time??? I feel like it’s just from automated systems and they don’t even look at it. Is everything literally a ghost job?? If you have ever asked for feedback have you gotten anything useful from it?

    Don’t do this, it will show up on every HR resume processing software and will not only create noise, you look like an idiot. HR departments also don’t use AI. They have access to every person’s personal data and need your keep it protected, that does not work well with having access to functional LLMs on their PC.
