50/100
As a job seeker, you meet AI from both sides: the tools help you write applications and prepare for interviews, but the same systems also screen candidates automatically. Much of the formal side of an application is becoming standardized and automated, while what truly decides the outcome, your own story, motivation, and how you meet an employer, is still human. Those who use AI wisely without disappearing into the crowd stand the strongest.
Screen / desk work
Job searching itself happens largely on screen, through portals, application systems, and AI tools. The digital part is the most exposed because both matching and initial screening can be automated. That is why the human encounter, the interview, and the network are what actually decide the outcome.
