A new survey by Resume Builder found that nearly half of recent job seekers exaggerated AI skills, with 80% of those applicants eventually being hired. These overblown résumés are suddenly a thing as businesses seek any AI expertise they can find. According to LinkedIn’s latest Future of Work report, the share of global English-language job postings mentioning "GPT" or "ChatGPT" increased 21-fold since November 2022, the month ChatGPT debuted. The percent of LinkedIn members listing AI skills on their profile increased ninefold from January 2016 to June 2023. Of course, landing a job and not being able to perform comes at a cost. Sixty of job seekers who lied about their AI skills and got the job said they faced consequences as a result of lying, with 10% of that group eventually being fired. Those already in a workplace are not immune to the lure of a higher-paying position, with nearly two-thirds of office workers also exaggerating their AI skillsets despite less than a third frequently using such tools. Men, younger workers, managers, and executives are the most inclined to to exaggerate. Many workers, lying about their AI knowledge or not, plan to learn more about the technology. Resume Builder found that 85 percent of surveyed worked intend to either study artificial intelligence on their own or take an AI course. Read More * The Hottest Job Skill on a Resume?
