The Experienced Job Seekers Guide to AI: Beat Age Discrimination, Beat ATS Screening, and Get Hired
The Experienced Job Seekers Guide to AI: Beat Age Discrimination, Beat ATS Screening, and Get Hired
You've sent out dozens of applications. Heard nothing back. Not a rejection, not even an automated no. Just silence.
Here's what almost nobody tells you: something as small as the file type you saved your resume in could be quietly dating your application before a human ever opens it. What else is working against you without your knowledge? The way you presented your previous experience? Is it reading as "too old"? Is it your email address? The systems screening your resume are looking for signals most job seekers have never heard of — and most job search books never mention at all.
I've spent my career as an educator and mental health counselor, not a tech insider, which is exactly why I wrote this book the way I did: to translate what's actually happening inside AI hiring systems into plain language, and to give you the specific, practical moves that help you stop slipping through the cracks and start standing out.
This isn't a book about learning to use ChatGPT. It's a working manual for every stage of a modern job search, built around a full toolkit of specialized, often free, AI platforms most job seekers have never even heard of, alongside the household names. Inside, you'll find:
How to take decades of experience and use AI to reframe it as directly relevant for any role you're targeting next
How AI can surface positions that actually match your skillset, including ones you'd never have thought to apply for — don't miss out on a role that fits simply because it never crossed your mind
A complete index of AI tools for every stage of the search — skills assessment, career exploration, tailoring applications for specific positions, resume scanning, interview simulation, continuing education, and tracking trends in your industry to give you an edge
A resume audit checklist that catches the small details quietly working against you in automated screening
A direct chapter on countering age bias in hiring software, including how to reframe "overqualified" before anyone else gets to say it first
Real scripts for negotiating an offer without sounding entitled or apologetic
A 30-day plan and job application tracker to keep you moving without burning out
I know from years of counseling people through exactly this kind of transition that the emotional weight of a search is just as real as the tactical side, and this book was built with both in mind.
Whether you haven't job-searched in a decade or you're simply done guessing at what these systems actually want, this book meets you exactly where you are.
Comes with a free companion toolkit: 20 ready-to-use AI prompts, a resume audit checklist, a STAR interview worksheet, a job application tracker, and a 30-day plan.
