Transcript

I was just talking to a recruiter at UCLA and she was like, we can't support your employment here unfortunately because you don't have enough experience in the past six months. I'm so sorry. I was getting my master's degree at Hopkins in medical ethics. No, I don't have enough experience in the past six months. I'm hopping back on the pony. And mind you, this is a float position going from LA clinic to LA clinic in horrible conditions. We're talking traffic, no reimbursement, okay? And I was like, you know what, I'll do it. And then she was like, no, actually, you did all of this stuff, you sent all the stuff, but we can't support your employment. And also, I subtly denied me from every single position without even like sending it over. And I was like, it's got to be AI because my recent experience is not MA experience. And I think the AI just like cooked me. Because it didn't get sent to a recruiter or nothing. And I'm just like, oh my god. The AI's killing me.
