AI is changing everything about job searching… right?
WRONG. ❌
Here’s what I mean:
When we think about why recruiters put us through this entire process — filling out resumes, writing cover letters, going to interviews — it’s NOT because they’re sadistic... 😈
It’s because they want to TRUST US. 🤝
But all these AI tools are starting to destroy that trust.
They’re making it harder to know who’s actually as good as they say they are.
Take COVER LETTERS. 📝
Back in the day, if you wrote a really great cover letter, that was a signal that meant something.
But here in the age of AI — when anyone can write a cover letter in two seconds — that signal is completely BROKEN. ⛓️💥
Today, really great cover letters are 51% LESS likely to land you an interview.
Why?
Because the trust simply isn’t there anymore.
Same thing for INTERVIEWS. 🗣️
A great interview used to signal that you’d probably be a great worker.
But if we can all use AI to cheat our way through interviews…
How the heck do we know who’s actually going to be GREAT at the job?
Turns out there IS one last thing that still builds trust — even in the age of AI:
RELATIONSHIPS. 🙌
Sure enough, the one thing recruiters value in 2026, even more than in 2016, is the humble REFERRAL.
What used to give you a 10X advantage over other candidates…
Now gives you a 20X advantage.
Let me repeat: A 2,000% advantage. 🤯
Why?
Because you went out and built a REAL RELATIONSHIP.
The exact thing that can't be faked by AI. ⚡️
Bottom line: As the world changes, don’t get caught up in all the crazy tools.
Keep your eyes on the prize. 🌟
And always ask yourself: "What can I do to win the TRUST of recruiters?"
