Searches for 'why does AI use so many em dashes' are up 182% this year. Here's why it happens, whether it's really a tell, and how to fix it on a resume.
Job Search Strategy
One in five job postings today are ghost jobs. The rest are buried under hundreds of other applicants using the same generic resume. Here's how AI job matching fixes both problems — and how to use it well.
