Unemployment is one of the main issues facing South Korea right now.<br />To get a competitive edge, job seekers have recently started using artificial intelligence programs to get feedback about their resumes and their approaches to finding work.<br />Cho Sung-min explains. <br /> Job seekers are waiting in lines at this job fair to get their resumes checked by AI programs. <br />They punched in their resume and self-introduction letter into the device,...and it immediately pulls off a graph showing their strengths and weaknesses.<br />The machine also summarizes personality traits and areas of interest...and even outlines effective steps to become more suitable candidates for any type of job. <br /><br /> "I tend to feel uncomfortable hearing opinions about my resume from my friends and colleagues,...but having it analized and presented by AI feels less personal and much more objective."<br /><br /> Software engineers say the AI programs pick up specific words used in the resume, and lay out the most objective analysis, using thousands of text samples. <br /><br /> "It listed leadership as one of my weaknesses, and the analysis was quite convincing. I decided to change my approach, regarding job seeking, and listen to the device's report." <br /><br /> Amid the increasing implementation and inclusion of AI in all aspects of everyday life, comapnies have jumped on the bandwagon and started using AI in their recruitment process. <br /><br /> Experts say the data obtained through the current AI technology will develop better versions that could be used for both employers and jobseekers in a not so distant future.<br />Cho Sung-min, Arirang News. <br />
