A podcast from LH CV Solutions
For people twenty years into a career
AI in hiring, CV screening and what actually works when the job market has changed under you. Short episodes you can listen to on a walk, from career coach Lisa Howe.
Follow on SpotifyAbout the voices. Every episode is read by two AI voices. They are not real people and I would rather you heard that from me than noticed it thirty seconds in. The research, the argument and every word of the script are mine, taken from blog posts I have written. What the AI does is read them aloud, so the ideas reach you on a walk instead of waiting for twenty quiet minutes you do not have.
What this is
I write about careers for people in the middle and later stages of them. Redundancy, AI in hiring, confidence after a knock, the practical mechanics of getting through a recruitment process that has changed a great deal in five years.
Some of you read every post. Some of you keep meaning to and never quite get to the end of the tab. This is for the second group.
The tone is the same as the writing: no hype and no panic. I separate what the evidence actually shows from what people assume, I say when something is unproven, and I finish with things you can do rather than things you should worry about.
Who it is for
- Mid to senior professionals navigating a job market that screens before it reads
- Anyone made redundant who is finding the process very different from last time
- People weighing up where AI genuinely helps their work and where it quietly strips out the useful part
- Career changers who keep being told they are overqualified and want to know what that actually means

Botoxed by the Bots: What AI Screening Does to Mid-Career CVs
A BBC investigation found women in their forties, fifties and sixties stripping the dates out of their CVs to get past the first filter. This episode looks at what the evidence on AI screening actually shows, what remains unproven, and five practical responses that do not involve pretending to be younger than you are.
