Companies are using AI to select the best applicants. If you can use AI to instantly reformat your resume to best fit the job posting, do so. Job hunting is now a full fledge AI circle jerk.

That's exactly what I did on the last job I applied to. I used a prompt along the lines of "I'm applying for a job. Here's the job description paste job description here's my resume paste resume. Please format it to best fit this job description. It knocked it out of the park, and filled it with all the stupid buzzwords I'd need to get through the application filter. The company is an AI company. If they have a problem with me using AI to make my resume better, they're missing the point.
