So far I haven't seen results of them getting hired, we've gotten rather paranoid about it. I guess if the entire internet slows down in 6-12 months, we'll know why. Maybe it would be good if AI prevents us from hiring ppl to fix the AI

The using AI for technical interviews is really a thing right now. Like 90% of the interviews seems like ppl are using things like chatgpt or parakeet. I really don't get why ppl are trusting it like that, like the answers are very clearly slop

Programs are more likely to have difficulty parsing the resume if it's at all interesting. STAR was correctly described on other response. You could do a couple of simple projects that sound ound good on paper and hit keywords, like turn an old computer into a home server. That lets you mention server repair, installing Linux, partitioning, formating and encrypting drives, using ssh, manually setting up the network configuration and VPN. You could put Kali on a VM and try to hack your own wifi, with that you have virtualization, pentesting and network security. It also lets you use these projects as stories for when you answer the behavioral questions

If you're in the US and don't mind working physically instead of help desk, there are jobs at the data centers. To get one of those jobs first, do not use AI. Write your resume as a regular word document in times or ariel, do not use tables or other formating, just bullet points. Have a project section on your resume. Rewrite each resume as SEO with keywords from the job description as it appears on the company website (not post on indeed). During any application process, manually type in responses as some companies are tracking WPM. Be able to describe what the parts of a computer are and what they do, understand post, understand isolation testing, understand basics of networking. Look up each company's workforce philosophy and be prepared to answer questions about how you align with stories, in STAR format. If you know those things and don't use AI, you can get the job. Really can't stress this enough, do not use AI during your interview!
