Using AI Service for Your Resume - Hiring Probabilty increases 8%, 8.4% Higher Hourly Wage
There are those who contend the cover letter is obsolete. Maybe that is an overstatement. But more help-wanted ads limit the response to transmitting a resume. Given that and the glut of talent chasing good jobs the resume becomes so important in a search for work, both traditional full-time and gig.
Therefore, the new
study from MIT by Emma van Inwegen, et al. on resumes should be
getting attention. The title is "Algorithmic Writing Assistance on
Jobseekers' Resumes Increases Hire." The research focused on those who used
an algorithm writing service for their resume and those who didn't (control
group). The former had the probability of an 8% higher hire rate. Their compensation
was 8.4% higher than that of the control group.
Essentially the service used in
the study performs two main tasks.
One is to correct mistakes in
spelling, grammar, punctuation, and usage. It is well known that any such error
can result in having the resume tossed. Immediately it signals
carelessness. Some may view this matter of the importance of detail as
petty. Those with hiring power don’t.
The other is to review the
stylistics of writing per se. For instance, there might be over-use of a phrase
such as “reducing costs” and synonyms are suggested. The results of the study
confirms that the quality of writing does count in the hiring process.
Not everyone might need this kind
of assistance. Among those I coach are professionals riveted on detail and
skillful in written communications. On the other hand there are those who didn’t
take their high school and college courses in exposition seriously enough. They
even could be unaware that their resume is full of errors and awkward in phrasing.
Their network should nudge them to research using an algorithmic writing
service.
