JOB BURNOUT

JOB BURNOUT is a special type of work-related stress — a state of physical or emotional exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity.

"Burnout" isn't a medical diagnosis. Some experts think that other conditions, such as depression, are behind burnout. Researchers point out that individual factors, such as personality traits and family life, influence who experiences job burnout.

Whatever the cause, job burnout can affect your physical and mental health. More on this topic later today.

Do Companies Use AI to ID AI-generated Resumes?

Do Companies Use AI to ID AI-generated Resumes?

There are at least seven (7) software programs (likely more) that companies use to identify documents that are written by AI / ML technologies. Screening documents for machine written documents is becoming a standard operating procedure (SOP).

 

Hiring managers wants to read a resume written by a person.

The Inherent Controversy with the H1B Visa Program

The Inherent Controversy with the H1B Visa Program

Employers of workers with H1B Visas are required to pay the visa holder the "prevailing wage" for the position held, no matter the incumbent.  However, critics of the program advocate that companies widely misuse the program, compensating foreign workers less than American counterparts in similar roles, thereby lowering overall wages for American workers. 

I would like to here opinions or about experiences that any one you have read about / heard about or experienced directly about the H1B. 

Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ)

Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ)

By federal law (42 U.S. Code § 2000e-2) allows for an employer to discriminate against employees and potential employees "on the basis of his religion, sex, or national origin in those certain instances where religion, sex, or national origin is a BFOQ reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise." For example, a bona fide occupational qualification could be made that a priest must be Catholic. Race and color, however, are never bona fide occupational qualifications. 

What the statute above does not elaborate on is that unless you are a model, actor / actress, etc., no matter good looking you may be, it is not a BFOQ for employment. In fact, many employers will automatically disqualify a candidate if a picture is on the resume.

In short, keep your picture off the resume.

Bad Advice to Job Hunters

Bad Advice to Job Hunters 

Here is some really bad advice:

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.

Job Hunting Scams - - - Upfront Fees and Payment Requests

 

 Job Hunting Scams - - -  Upfront Fees and Payment Requests

Scammers often lure job seekers with seemingly legitimate opportunities but insist on upfront payments for training, specialized software, or essential equipment. Once the payment is made, the promised items never arrive, and the job offer turns out to be fake.

In some cases, these schemes disguise themselves as multilevel marketing (MLM) opportunities or remote roles requiring special tools.

Remember: Real employers will never ask you to pay to start a job.
