Using LLMs for job hunting:
**BAD IDEAS**
- Writing any text for humans, not cover letters, not resumes. People recognize ChatGPT immediately and it can't help your case.

**GOOD IDEAS**
- code gen LaTeX for your resume & other nerd-snipping side-quests
- generate practice interview question, but not validating your answers!
- Finding flaws in your English, but *don't let the bot fix it*
- LLM side projects. But like with 3rd party template you need to explain what part of the effort was yours

I kind of wish the jobs boards had a good API and I could use an LLM for RAG, i.e. "hey bot, find the jobs that I qualify for" and use that as a 1st pass for finding the jobs.
