AI can draft resume bullet points, rewrite cover letters, and tailor applications to job descriptions in minutes. However, AI generates implausible accomplishments, misreads job requirements, and cannot represent your actual work history accurately. This guide explains what AI does well in applications, where it fails, the reality of Applicant Tracking Systems, and how to use AI as a tool without letting it fabricate your qualifications.

Coding bootcamps charge $15k–$30k for 12–16 weeks of instruction, promising job placement within 3–6 months. Reality: approximately 65% of graduates land jobs within six months at the salary promised (~$70k–$90k for junior developers). The remaining 35% either do not get hired, get hired at lower salary, or pursue different roles. Success depends entirely on selection: attending a bootcamp with verified 75%+ placement rate and learning in-demand stack (React, Node, Python) has different outcomes than attending an unknown bootcamp and learning a deprecated framework. This article covers how to evaluate bootcamps (audit reviews, outcome data, curriculum, cost structure), the honest reality of job outcomes, the hidden risks (Income Share Agreements, debt burden), alternatives (self-teaching, degree programs), and what realistic post-graduation looks like.
