The job search landscape has transformed dramatically in just a few years. Gone are the days when applying for jobs was a part-time endeavor. Nowadays, it’s practically a full-time job, especially if you’re out of work and have to document your efforts to claim unemployment benefits. The experience can be overwhelming, but fortunately, technology—particularly artificial intelligence (AI)—is here to help streamline the process.
