Artificial intelligence isn¡¯t just being blamed for killing jobs; it¡¯s exposing the fundamental flaw in one of hiring¡¯s oldest tools: the resume.

For close to a century, the resume has been the focus of an intense struggle between job seekers hoping to present themselves in the most flattering light and employers eager to find the best candidate. But its usefulness was short-lived at best and should have been replaced with a better way to evaluate job seekers long ago.
