Usually, yes. I'm a technical recruiter at Simplify, and unedited ChatGPT gives itself away within about two bullets. But that matters less than you'd expect, because no recruiter I know rejects a resume for being AI-written. We reject resumes for be...

Writing a cover letters come down to one thing: sounding like a specific human who actually read the job description. When we get applications at Simplify, I've seen the difference between a letter that makes me want to talk to someone and one that r...
Comparing Meta and Google as a new grad is one of the most common career questions in tech, and it’s also one of the most misunderstood....

Pre-IPO AI startups are the most asked-about job target right now, and the timing matters more than ever in 2026. I spend a lot of my time looking at where early-career people are actually landing offers, which companies are opening roles, and which ...
The Amazon SDE interview for new grads still runs through an Online Assessment, a virtual loop, and a Bar Raiser, and knowing that shape early changes how you prep. Amazon cut around 30,000 corporate jobs across late 2025 and early 2026, and if that'...
