Man Uses AI To Apply For 1,000 Jobs While Sleeping And Gets Surprising Results

A Reddit user has shared how his job search completely changed after he built an AI bot to do the hard work for him.

Instead of spending hours tweaking resumes and sending out applications, he created an AI-powered system to take care of everything while he slept.

According to his post, the AI bot applied for hundreds of jobs, tailoring each application and cover letter automatically—without him lifting a finger.

The Reddit user, who later deleted his post, claimed that his AI-driven approach led to more than 50 interview offers.

He explained that his bot not only submitted applications but also customized his resume and cover letter for each role, optimizing his chances of passing through automated hiring filters.

He wrote: “I created an AI bot that: Analyzes candidate information, examines job descriptions, generates unique CVs and cover letters for each job, answers specific questions that recruiters ask, automatically applies to jobs.”

“And all of this while I was sleeping! In just one month, this method helped me secure around 50 interviews. The tailored CVs and cover letters, customized based on each job description, made a significant difference.”

Breaking down his strategy, he argued that AI is already reshaping the hiring process, with many companies relying on algorithms to filter applicants. Using AI on his end, he believed, simply leveled the playing field.

He also pointed out that his AI tool helped him “effectively pass through automated screening systems,” which many candidates struggle to do.

Given how many applications never even reach human eyes, this approach certainly raises interesting questions.

The user acknowledged the ethical debate surrounding AI in job hunting but remained firm in his stance.

He wrote (though whether it was him or AI is up for debate): “Observing this technological revolution, I can’t help but reflect on the profound implications for the world of work. “

While the process is efficient, automating job applications challenges the idea of personal connections in the workplace.

“We face a paradox: as we seek to optimize the selection process, we risk losing the human element that often makes a difference in a work environment. The challenge ahead is not just technological, but also ethical and social.”

“We’ll need to find a delicate balance between the efficiency of artificial intelligence and the richness of human interactions. Only then can we build a future of work that is not just productive, but also fulfilling and meaningful for everyone.”

His method sparked debate on social media. Some saw it as an example of cutting corners and questioned the ethics of automating the process.

Others, however, defended him, arguing that if companies are using AI to eliminate candidates, then job seekers should be allowed to fight fire with fire.

So what do you think? Is this a smart and innovative way to job hunt, or is it a dishonest approach that undermines the hiring process?
