Applying to 500 job postings with a generic blast script rarely works. Modern ATS screening software and recruiters instantly discard robotic, copy-pasted cover letters and keyword-stuffed resumes. However, when used thoughtfully, AI can cut your research time in half and help you tailor high-conversion applications with surgical precision.
