Smarter Resumes, Better Careers: The Role of AI in Resume Optimization
The U.S. job market in 2025 is a paradox: there are more jobs in certain sectors than ever before, yet it’s never been harder for candidates to get noticed. With an average of 250 applications per job posting and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filtering up to 75% of resumes before a recruiter ever sees them, job seekers face an uphill climb. This is where AI for resume writing is transforming the hiring landscape. AI-powered tools can analyze job descriptions, extract relevant keywords, ensure ATS-friendly formatting, and generate tailored resumes in minutes. Yet AI alone has limits—it can’t fully capture your unique story or adapt to subtle hiring cues.
