The CEO and founder of Entourage, a content-as-a-service provider, shared a shocking yet amusing message she received on LinkedIn from a candidate applying for a content creator position. In the screenshot posted on X (formerly Twitter), the candidate had used a generic template for their cover letter but forgot to replace the placeholders with details about their own skills and experience.
This resulted in a job application full of glaring mistakes, hinting that ChatGPT was likely used.
