Everyone who is job hunting currently, seems to be struggling. And it's not just because of the economy or an oversaturated market, it turns out it's because of the robots. Yep, AI isn't just making fun video filters and character quizzes, it's actually applying to the same job as you or might even be the robot that interviews you for your dream job. 

 

That's exactly what happened to this TikToker who finally landed an interview for their dream job. As a college graduate who studied broadcasting, "Leo" was wanted to be a news anchor or some sort of news report on TV for a while. He finally landed an interview to do just that and was so excited. He even got his friend who works in HR to help practice interviewing with him prior to the actual interview. However, when he logged on thinking he was going to chat with the manager, he got something way scarier… a robot. Turns out the company has been getting lots of "AI applicants," so to combat that, they chose to use an AI interviewing process… Strange huh?

  • The company did eventually reach out to him and apologized, but it doesn't seem like he ended up getting the job or even a second interview with a real life person. Instead, he's left with the interview from an AI system that just asked him to circle back when, when, when, when, when, when, when… Yeah. See it all go down below!
