Job Hugging - Some managers like it, even for underperforming professionals.
While most of us strive to be the best we can be, many are not as career oriented and do not strive for career progression. These professionals come complacent in their jobs and do the minimum or slightly better to hold onto their jobs.
While this does aggravate some managers, there are managers who value experience and mediocre production as opposed to great production and assertive staff.
The rationale for this is complex but one reason is that the manager knows what he/she are getting and accept the status quo as opposed to recruiting, hiring and training new staff. In many organizations, upward mobility is limited / non-existent and having production that the manager can count on outweighs the issues surrounding recruiting, onboarding, training and the fear of diminished production.

Submitting AI-generated Resume Will Usually Result in Rejection
Here is a good reason not to submit an AI written resume:
Immediate Rejection: AI tools rely on predictable language patterns, they produce generic "word salad", which will be void of your successes, your writing theme, perhaps including false claims of prowess as related to your skills. The document will have unnatural, sometimes weird layout and format - easy for the "eyeball" and technologies designed to ID AI-generated documents.

Bad Advice to Job Hunters
Listen to people who tell you to write your resume with ChatGPT.
Why do you write this Allan? Well, I was on an online forum and somebody offered this advice to a frustrated job seekers. Sad thing is, it was not done tongue-in-cheek.
1. Hiring managers can ID AI-generated resumes from 10 miles away. They do not like it.
2. Unless the candidate changes the resume to customize the document to the targeted job, the resume will get rejected by the ATS, let alone hiring managers
3. ChatGPT cannot customize resumes to the job description, no matter how how input is given.
While they may be trying to help, they are just hurting you. Need more information about why this is bad, message me.

More About Thank You Notes
Always send the thank you note within one (1) business day after the interview. Customize the note, mentioning two (2) unique topics that were discussed but do not get too elaborate - keep it summarized. The note should be three short paragraphs at most. Be certain to send a note to each person you spoke with during the process.

Thank you Notes
Did you know that a simple thank-you note after an interview can significantly boost your chances in the job selection process? But in a recent survey, 68% of applicants do not send thank you notes. Why? Well one reason is that many candidates do not know who to email (the recruiter, the hiring manager, or the whole panel), or whether notes are expected after a phone screen versus a final round .
In short, whether it's a phone screen, a virtual meeting, or an in-person interview, this gesture makes a lasting impression and keeps you top of mind for the recruiter and the hiring manager.
