This month: Two candidates were disqualified for using AI on interviews to pretend they had experience. I also received 10's of resume submissions from candidates apparently using the method, shown below, for writing their resume. They appeared to have no depth of knowledge when questioned. I am receiving more and more resumes which appear to have been generated using ChatGPT prompts something like the one shown below.

While this can attract attention from ATS systems, and something can be learned, it is fabricated information and candidates end up hurting their careers by doing this.
