Ask HN: How are you using AI to find jobs? What worked (and didn't)?

2 points by dawie ↗ HN
Hi HN,

Longtime HN user here (since 2007)

I’m mapping practical ways HN uses AI in job searches—what truly moved the needle vs. what didn’t.

If you’re willing, please share: - Role/seniority/region (optional) - Top 1–2 AI workflows that helped, and the tools/models you used (incl. resume/cover-letter products) - Tools you used like Jobscan, Rezi Resume.io if anu - Where it helped most (research, resume tailoring, outreach) - Hiring managers/recruiters: how do AI-shaped applications read to you?

I’ll post an anonymized summary in ~2 weeks. Short anonymous Google Form will be in the first comment. Contact info is in my profile for anyone open to a deeper chat.
