AI’s doing the interviews now, good luck out there

Imagine prepping for your first big job interview, only to find out you’re chatting with someone named Jamie, who turns out to be less “recruiter with a solid LinkedIn” and more “Siri with a superiority complex.”
If you’re looking for a job or know someone who is, this is critical intel.
How it works
Once you apply for a position, you might get a message to schedule a quick AI screening. Then, expect typical questions like “Tell me about yourself” or “How do you handle challenges at work?”
But there’s no small talk, no human empathy, and don’t expect follow-up questions that make sense if your answer gets cut off.
Some bots are smart enough to transcribe your answers, rank you by score and flag it if you seem frustrated or distracted. Don’t tap your foot during an interview. You might get labeled as “hostile.”
Can you skip the AI?
Nope. One applicant tried hanging up mid-chat, and the bot called them back immediately like a clingy ex with access to your calendar.
Here’s what to do:
✔️ Talk like you’re answering a real person.
✔️ Keep your answers short, but don’t sound robotic.
✔️ Avoid reading as some bots track eye movement.
✔️ Double-check that the interview invite is legit (watch for scams).
This all sounds dystopian because it is. But it’s also real. Good recruiters still exist, but they’re relaxing behind a firewall, waiting for the bot to decide if you’re worthy.
It doesn’t seem like this AI recruiter phase will go away, so learn how to work with it. Yeah, brush up on your interview skills, with robots. And no, asking to “speak to the manager” will absolutely not help.
Use LinkedIn the right way
🧠 New brain tech: This is amazing. Researchers developed an implant that helps people who can’t speak communicate again. Casey Harrell, for example, has ALS and now has his brain signals turned into text and read aloud by a computer in his old voice. The best part? It’s 97% accurate, making it the most advanced system yet.

That’s how much of Business Insider’s staff just got axed in one morning. BI swung the layoff scythe again, shedding over a fifth of its workforce (paywall link) as SEO clicks vanish and AI floods the content pool. The memo called it “transformation.” Somewhere, a LinkedIn “Open to Work” badge just blinked to life. P.S. We’re hiring!
📝 LinkedIn post formula: Start with one spicy sentence, like “If AI doesn’t take your job, someone using it will.” Keep it short, so people don’t have to click “more.” Then, follow it up with a takeaway that adds value and invites comments. Hiring? Click here to post a job for free.
🧠 AI now mandatory: It’s come to this. Companies are tossing résumés for ChatGPT prompts. Two-thirds of execs say AI proficiency means more than job experience. 71% would pick the less experienced candidate if they’re AI-savvy. LinkedIn endorsements now include “Knows when to ask Claude for help.”
