Most companies approve the use of AI in resumes but with integrated personal insights to maintain authenticity

TechRadar News - Sat, 09/07/2024 - 10:27

A well-crafted resume is crucial in today’s competitive job market, with an Adobe study showing there is only about a 1 in 17 chance that a submitted resume will lead to an interview.

To improve these odds, job seekers are now leveraging AI tools to refine their resumes, helping to ensure they are tailored to specific job descriptions, feature industry-relevant keywords, and are free from common errors.

While more people use AI to make their resumes stand out, it is very important to know how employers feel about AI-prepared resumes.

How acceptable is the use of AI for resumes?

AI-powered tools can optimize resume content by analyzing job descriptions, suggesting relevant keywords, and ensuring that the language aligns with industry standards. These tools can also help eliminate common errors such as spelling and grammar mistakes, which are frequently cited as red flags by hiring professionals. Also, the use of AI for resumes does not exactly lower chances of getting the job, as 64% of recruiters approve of using AI in resumes.

Despite these advantages, only a small portion of job seekers are using AI to enhance their resumes. Adobe Acrobat’s study shows that just 28% of American job seekers currently employ AI for this purpose, suggesting that there is still an untapped potential for AI in resume creation.

Interestingly, the adoption of AI in resume creation varies significantly across different generations. One in three members of Generation Z have used AI to craft their resumes, making them the generation most likely to embrace the technology. This trend reflects Gen Z’s familiarity with digital tools and their comfort with adopting innovative approaches to problem-solving. In contrast, older generations may be more hesitant to use AI due to concerns about accuracy, authenticity, or a lack of familiarity with the technology.

Nevertheless, it is important to note that while the majority of hiring professionals approve of AI-enhanced resumes, certain industries remain skeptical. According to Adobe Acrobat’s study, using AI in your resume may lead to immediate disqualification in some sectors. The top five industries where AI-assisted resumes may be frowned upon include:

  • Finance & Financial Services: This sector often requires highly detailed and precise resumes, and there may be concerns about AI's ability to accurately reflect a candidate's qualifications and experience.
  • Construction: This industry emphasizes practical skills and on-the-ground experience. Thus, it may be wary of AI-generated content that lacks a personal touch.
  • Technology & Telecommunications: While this might seem counterintuitive, some tech companies prefer manually crafted resumes to gauge a candidate’s personal creativity and problem-solving skills.
  • Business Support & Logistics: These industries may prioritize straightforward, human-authored resumes that directly reflect the applicant's hands-on experience.
  • Manufacturing: Similar to construction, the focus here is often on real-world skills and experiences, making AI-generated resumes potentially less appealing.

One of the standout findings is that conciseness is crucial; over half of the surveyed hiring professionals prefer a one-page resume. This format compels candidates to distill their experiences and skills to the most relevant information, thereby enhancing clarity and impact.

Another important aspect highlighted in the study is the value of cover letters. While the necessity of these documents is often debated, 56% of hiring professionals still find them helpful, and 20% consider them essential. A well-crafted cover letter can provide context to a resume and emphasize specific qualifications that align with the job requirements.

The study also identifies common red flags that can undermine a candidate's application. Spelling and grammar errors, a lack of relevant experience, and frequent job changes are the top concerns for hiring professionals and can raise doubts about a candidate's attention to detail and stability, which are critical qualities in any potential employee.

Finally, the study emphasizes a balanced approach to using AI tools in resume creation. While AI can streamline the process and enhance the presentation of resumes, candidates need to integrate personal insights and experiences to maintain authenticity.

Bridgerton season 4: Netflix release date prediction, trailer, likely cast, plot rumors, and more news

TechRadar News - Sat, 09/07/2024 - 09:34
Bridgerton season 4: key information

- Season 4 has been in the works since its initial April 2021 announcement
- No release date revealed yet
- Rumored to begin filming in mid-September
- Its romantic lead is Benedict Bridgerton
- Some key cast members should return from previous installments
- Snippets of its plot have been teased
- No trailer unveiled at the time of writing
- Bridgerton producer Shonda Rhimes has eight-season plan for hugely popular show

Dearest readers, Bridgerton season 4 is on the way and, when it comes to getting into the nitty-gritty of the Ton, there’s plenty to discuss. In season 3, we were treated to the couple affectionately dubbed 'Polin' but, in season 4, it’s all about Benophie. Indeed, despite a slight deviation from the order of Julia Quinn’s famed book series of the same name, it’s time to address 'An Offer From a Gentleman', the third novel in which Benedict Bridgerton and his love interest Sophie take center stage.

With all three seasons thus far holding spots in the top ten all-time most popular English-language TV shows on Netflix, according to Tudum, season 4 has a lot to live up to. Fortunately, the main cast will be returning, Shondaland continues to produce, and Netflix remains the the best streaming service that offers us all the courtship, gossip, and latest Lady Whistledown’s musings we've come to love. So, from our thoughts on its likely release date to its potential plot threads and more, here's what we know about Bridgerton season 4 so far.

Full spoilers follow for Bridgerton season 3 and its predecessors. Potential season 4 spoilers also follow.

Bridgerton season 4 release date prediction

Bridgerton season 4 has been on the cards since it was announced alongside season 3 in April 2021. However, while there’s exciting news about season 4 ahead, there’s no official release date to share just yet – and you may be saddened to hear it’s looking like it won't arrive until mid-2026.

Filming was rumored to be begin in June, per filming site Production List, but the date has since moved to mid-September (per What's on Netflix). Principal photography will likely run for several months, too, according to the latter outlet.

We shouldn't see season 4 for two years, then – and that’s been all but confirmed by showrunner Jess Brownell, who told The Hollywood Reporter (THR): "We are working to try and put the seasons out more quickly, but they do take eight months to film and then they have to be edited, and then they have to be dubbed into every language. And the writing takes a very long time as well, so we’re kind of on a two-year pace, we’re trying to speed up, but somewhere in that range."

Bridgerton season 4 trailer: is there one?

We don’t have an official trailer, but a brief Bridgerton season 4 teaser, which confirmed season 4’s romantic lead will be Benedict Bridgerton, arrived in July.

Seen amongst clips of previous seasons, the text "Welcome to the marriage mart, Benedict," appears on the screen. Following the montage, we’re treated to behind-the-scenes footage of a person off-screen saying "I hear we’re fitting you for a suit",  to which Benedict aka Luke Thompson replies "I already have an outfit for tonight." The person off-screen responds "Oh no, it’s not for tonight. It’s for the masquerade ball", before Benedict says "In that case, come on in."

The masquerade ball, according to Julia Quinn’s novels, is where Benedict famously meets Sophie Beckett, aka the ‘Lady in Silver,’ but we’ll dive into this in our plot section.

Full spoilers follow for Bridgerton season 3.

Given that we didn't lose any of the main cast in season 3, we’d expect these characters to return in Bridgerton season 4:

  • Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton
  • Ruth Gemmell as Lady Violet Bridgerton
  • Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Bridgerton
  • Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton
  • Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton
  • Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton
  • Simone Ashley as Kathani ‘Kate’ Bridgerton
  • Golda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte
  • Adjoa Andoh as Lady Danbury
  • Harriet Cains as Philippa Featherington
  • Bessie Carter as Prudence Featherington
  • Polly Walker as Lady Portia Featherington
  • Florence Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton
  • Will Tilston as Gregory Bridgerton
  • Julie Andrews as the voice of Lady Whistledown
  • Emma Naomi as Alice Mondrich
  • Martin Imhangbe as Will Mondrick
  • Lorraine Ashbourne as Mrs. Varley
  • Hugh Sachs as Brimsley
  • Hannah Doss as Francesca Stirling
  • Victor Alli as John Stirling
  • Masali Baduza as Michaela Stirling
  • Kathryn Drysdale as Genevieve Delacroix
  • Daniel Francis as Lord Marcus Anderson

We know who Benedict Bridgerton is, but who will play the famous Sophie Beckett? In August, Variety's sources suggested Australian actress Yerin Ha (Halo, Bad Behaviour) had been cast . Netflix and Shondaland are yet to confirm this, though.

We don't expect to see the likes of Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (Regé Jean-Page) return, but Jonathan Bailey was there in season 3 and he’s confirmed, during an interview with Good Morning America, that he’ll be back in season 4. "I have a couple of weeks etched out in my schedule for returning," he said. "So, I’m really excited and Luke Thompson is just going to be stunning.”

As for season 3’s shining couple Penelope and Colin, they’ll also be back. Speaking to Town & Country, Luke Newton said: "I’m excited for the happily ever after and to see what that brings. I have so much trust in Jess [Brownell] that it will always be interesting and always be exciting. That’s also the joy of being in the Bridgerton family: There’s always going to be drama. There’s always going to be something I get to help out with or causing mischief or whatever it is."

Bridgerton season 4 plot rumors

Season 4 will adapt the third novel penned by Julia Quinn, which is titled 'An Offer From a Gentleman' (Image credit: Netflix)

Full spoilers follow for Bridgerton season 3.

Bridgerton season 4's story brief hasn't been unveiled yet – and it won't be until closer to its release. Even so, we have some ideas of where the plot will go, based on its source material and how Benedict's story in the third season ended.

In Bridgerton season 3, the focus was Penelope and Colin, which actually meant the show skipped ahead in Julia Quinn’s book series. As previously mentioned, however, season 3 will leap back a few chapters to book three, which is called 'An Offer From a Gentleman'. Fans of the books will know, then, that it’s time for Benedict the bachelor to meet Sophie Beckett – the elusive ‘Lady in Silver’ who sneaks into the masquerade ball to find a suitor, stumbles upon him, and likely captures his heart.

In the books, the Lady in Silver is the illegitimate daughter of an Earl and one of his maids, although he hasn’t publicly acknowledged her as his daughter despite her living with him. 

It may be hard to believe Benedict may finally settle down, considering how season 3 ended. Indeed, viewers watched as Benedict embarked on not one, but two relationships; the untethered playboy messing around with Lady Tilley Arnold and Paul Suarez. However, he broke up with the pair in the season 3 finale after he decides he doesn't want to tie himself down to any one person.

Elaborating on why Benedict made that decision, Luke Thompson, who plays the character, told Netflix's Tudum website: "Benedict has always been a little lost – or free, depending on the way you want to look at it. But, now he’s trying to find something a bit more solid in himself. His identity has been a little bit of a question mark, but it doesn’t ever seem to really bother him. It often feels like 'you’re either this, or you’re this'. He’s finding it out."

Showrunner Jess Brownell also spoke to Tudum about Benedict’s love story, adding: "It felt important for him to explore the fullness of himself before he settles down. He is someone who has big appetites, and we wanted to see him living a big life before he goes into settle-down mode."

Much like Bridgerton’s first three seasons, though, the romantic lead isn’t the only one embarking on a love story, of which there’s most certainly more to explore in season 4. We know that Lady Violet Bridgerton was enjoying the company of Lady Danbury’s brother, Lord Marcus Anderson – and, during the season 3 finale, we saw the pair dance the night away at the Dankworth-Finch ball.

Kate and Anthony are due to welcome their first child, too, which will see the married couple travel to India to do so. There’s also more to explore from Colin and Penelope as Polin embark on married life and raising their child. Luke Newton spoke to Tudum about their new role, teasing: "Once you’ve had your moment, it’s really nice to see how they’ll navigate married life. It’ll be a place of comfort for them and they’ll enjoy it."

The arrival of Michaela Stirling excited Bridgerton fans (Image credit: Netflix)

And then there’s Eloise traveling to Scotland alongside her sister Francesca and new husband Lord John Stirling. She decided to pursue her curiosity and take a break from the marriage mart in doing so, so it’ll be interesting to see how she spends her time there. 

It was as much of a cliffhanger ending for the new Stirlings as well, as Francesca met John’s cousin Michaela Stirling. In Quinn's book 'When He Was Wicked', this character is male and goes by the name Michael Stirling, so the role has been gender-swapped for Netflix's adaptation. Michaela’s appearance sent fans wild, and for those who’ve yet to read the book, the significance will become all the more clear as the seasons continue.

Finally, amongst all the love and marriage, Queen Charlotte made a statement in the season 3 finale of accepting Lady Whistledown, aka Penelope Featherington. Whether the Queen’s favor continues, only time will tell.

Where to watch Bridgerton

Bridgerton seasons 1 to 3 can be streamed exclusively on Netflix. One of the best Netflix shows is also joined on the platform by prequel spin-off Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. If you find yourself at a loss while we wait for season 4, here are six dashing dramas like Bridgerton to be captivated by, too.

Will Bridgerton get a fifth season?

Will we get more seasons of Bridgerton? Shonda Rhimes most certainly hopes so (Image credit: Netflix)

Netflix hasn't announced if a fifth season will be made. But, according to executive producer Shonda Rhimes, there’s hopefully going to be at least eight. Per Variety, Rhimes said she still plans to adapt all eight of the Bridgerton books, adding: "I do have a very specific plan of where we go each season – which one is which. Because you really have to start seeding in the other siblings, and what’s going on with them, to push them to the next season. We’ve really talked about it through, I think, season 6 or maybe 7."

It's unclear if Netflix will take a similar approach to Bridgerton seasons 3 and 4 and renew two more seasons at the same time. Considering how popular Bridgerton continues to be, however, we'd be surprised if it doesn't greenlight the pair, if not a trio of new seasons, before too long.

As for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Rhimes has teased the possibility of making a second season. "We talk about it a lot," she told Variety. "And, for a while, I was holding it very close, and didn’t necessarily know that I wanted to play it out in a Bridgerton season. But, now we’ve been talking about what it would look like if we saw a little bit in Bridgerton’s present day, with Brimsley and Reynolds, and what that would mean [and] I think it deprives us of a chance to tell the story the way it should be told."

Upgraded sensors and water resistance rumored for the Apple Watch 10

TechRadar News - Sat, 09/07/2024 - 09:30

We're all set for Apple's 'Glowtime' event this coming Monday, and one of the products on show should be the Apple Watch 10 – an upgrade that'll offer improved sensors and better water resistance, according to a new report.

This comes from "reputable sources" speaking to 9to5Mac, and apparently as well as larger screens, the new models are going to come fitted with an upgraded ECG and heart rate sensor that'll "unlock new features and provide more accurate results".

One of those new features will be sleep apnea detection, 9to5Mac says – something that has also been predicted by Mark Gurman at Bloomberg. Sleep apnea is a potentially serious issue, where breathing stops and starts during the night.

While the Apple Watch 10 won't be able to give you a diagnosis of sleep apnea, according to these reports it will be able to alert you if you might have it, so you can chat to your doctor about it and get properly checked out.

Improved water resistance

New watch faces are also on the way, 9to5Mac says: 'Reflections' (which reacts to ambient light) and 'Regatta' from Hermès, named after the sailing competition of the same name, and with the option to start a timer right from the watch face.

Improved water resistance is also said to be on the way. Unlike the Apple Watch 9, the Apple Watch 10 is rumored to be getting the Depth app, which at the moment is exclusive to the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Ultra 2.

The new Apple Watch 10 will apparently be certified for high-speed water sports, which the Apple Watch 9 isn't, up to a depth of 20 meters. It's not clear if the overall 50-meter water resistance rating of the Apple Watch 9 will be changing as well.

According to 9to5Mac, the incoming watch will be available in two sizes that are slightly bigger than the current 41 mm and 45 mm offerings, with tweaks to the resolution too. We'll see the new smartwatches, and the iPhone 16, on Monday.

I love this modular 4K TV concept that lets you upgrade specific parts, instead of buying a whole new set

TechRadar News - Sat, 09/07/2024 - 09:30

One of my favorite things I saw on the IFA 2024 show floor was Vestel's Block TV, which is only a concept currently, but one that I'd love to see become reality.

The concept is simple: what if you could change the size or the features of your TV screen without having to replace all the other electronics in it? That could save you money, and lead to less e-waste at the same time.

In the Block TV, the stand and the screen are separate parts. The stand would contain all the processing and connections, and the screen is just the screen. You could choose which size screen you want to start with, and if you decide you're ready to move from a 48-inch TV to a 65-inch model later, you can just remove the small screen and attach the new one. Instant upgrade!

Equally, maybe some new console in the future will have some amazing new mode that you really want to take advantage of, but your TV doesn't support… yet. You could keep the screen, and update the rest, once a new version of the stand with extra features is available.

(Image credit: Future)

Vestel focused mostly on being able to switch screen size, but this concept really got me thinking about the possibilities. One obvious aspect would the potential to get a better display technology as they become available, not just a different size of the current one, so you can turn it into one of the best OLED TVs, if you want to one day.

But imagine also options that take this customizability further – perhaps a screen with a soundbar built along the bottom for people who really want the best TV for sound… or maybe one has the soundbar at the bottom and Dolby Atmos upfiring and side-firing speakers, if you're happy to pay a premium. You can choose how serious to be about it.

Maybe you could choose between a glossy screen or a matte display, like the fantastic one on the Samsung S95D, depending how troublesome reflections are in your room (or depending on if you want to display ambient art on it).

(Image credit: Future)

And while I've been focusing on upgrades, it would also make these TVs easier to service and repair, potentially – if something hits the screen and breaks it, you only need to replace the one part, rather than trashing the whole thing in favor of a new one.

I'm not convinced this will ever see the light of day (Vestel always comes to IFA equipped cool TV ideas that don't turn into products you can buy), but given our increased awareness around sustainability and wastage, I really hope an idea like the Block TV gets a chance.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: latest news, rumors and everything we know so far

TechRadar News - Sat, 09/07/2024 - 09:00

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is likely to be Samsung’s last major smartphone launch of 2024 – although we could see the Samsung Galaxy S25 in early 2025.

That timing – right before the Galaxy S25 – might make the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE a tough sell, though how compelling it is could largely come down to the price.

Sadly, we don’t yet know what the price will be, but thanks to leaks and rumors, we do have a very good idea of the upcoming phone's specs, and they paint a picture of a capable alternative to the standard Samsung Galaxy S24.

Below, you’ll find everything we’ve heard so far about the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, including its likely screen, chipset, cameras, and release date, among other things.

Cut to the chase
  • What is it? A cheaper alternative to the Galaxy S24
  • When is it out? Possibly October
  • How much will it cost? Likely upwards of $599.99 / £599 / AU$899
Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: expected release date and price

The Samsung Galaxy S24 (Image credit: Future)
  • Could land in October
  • Expect to pay upwards of $599.99 / £599 / AU$899

There’s some disagreement about when the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will launch. The most recent leak at the time of writing suggests the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will land in October. That’s in line with some other claims, with a previous leak stating that the Galaxy S24 FE would land in October or later, and another saying to expect the Galaxy S24 FE in late 2024 or early 2025.

On the other hand, a report from South Korea claimed the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE would land this ‘summer’, which for South Korea would mean sometime between June and August.

Now, at the time of writing we’re in August, so that window is almost closed, but there’s other evidence for an imminent launch. For example, an online database listing for the Galaxy S24 FE has been found, as has a test build of firmware for the Galaxy S24 FE.

Perhaps most tellingly, a support page for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE has actually been spotted on an official Samsung site. These are all things that we’d expect to happen close to launch.

Still, our guess for now is a Galaxy S24 FE launch in October, since the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 only recently landed, and that would allow Samsung to space out its launches more. Plus, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE landed in October of last year.

We’re even less sure of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE’s price, as no details of that have yet leaked. But for reference, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE started at $599.99 / £599 / AU$899, so it’s likely you’ll have to pay at least that much.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: expected design and display

  • Likely to have a similar design to the S23 FE
  • Could have a big 6.7-inch screen

We have a good idea of what the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE might look like, thanks to leaked marketing renders shared by Android Headlines. These – some of which you can see below – show a phone that looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, complete with a triple-lens camera running vertically down the back, and a punch-hole camera in the phone’s flat screen.

It reportedly also has an aluminum frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection on its screen, and Android Headlines claims that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will be available in graphite, blue, silver/white, green, and yellow, along, we think, with two more unknown shades which would be exclusive to Samsung’s online store.

Another source has mentioned similar colors, saying that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will come in black, gray, light blue, light green, and yellow shades.

We’ve also seen unofficial renders of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE from another source (one of which you can see below), which show much the same design, so this is likely what you can expect.

As for the screen, that last source mentions a 6.65-inch display, while the source of the marketing renders further up similarly says the Galaxy S24 FE has a 6.7-inch screen – one with a peak brightness of 1,900 nits. For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE has a 6.4-inch screen with a peak brightness of 1,450 nits.

(Image credit: @OnLeaks / GizNext)

Oddly, though, multiple earlier leaks pointed to the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE having a 6.1-inch screen instead. However, as these leaks are slightly less numerous and less detailed, we’re inclined to believe the 6.7-inch rumors.

One of the 6.1-inch sources added that the Galaxy S24 FE will have an AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and that much at least is likely, since the Galaxy S23 FE has those specs.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE: expected cameras

The Samsung Galaxy S24 (Image credit: Future)
  • Could have a 50MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, and 8MP telephoto camera
  • Cameras might be unchanged from the Galaxy S23 FE

A detailed Galaxy S24 FE specs leak points to a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide one, and an 8MP telephoto one, offering 3x optical zoom, along with a 10MP selfie camera. The source of this leak additionally claims that the Galaxy S24 FE will use ‘AI Zoom’ to get clear shots from a long distance.

We’ve also previously heard talk of the Galaxy S24 FE having a 50MP main sensor, and another leak adds some more details, saying that the Galaxy S24 FE has the same main camera as the S23 FE – specifically a 50MP ISOCELL GN3 sensor with 1.0μm pixels. For what it’s worth, the other leaked camera specs also line up with those of the Galaxy S23 FE, so we might not see many upgrades here.

  • Might use an Exynos 2400e chipset
  • Could have up to 12GB of RAM
  • The battery might be 4,565mAh

For power, it’s likely that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE will have an Exynos 2400e chipset, which is reportedly a slightly less powerful version of the Exynos 2400 used in some variants of the Samsung Galaxy S24, and indeed a benchmark spotted by MySmartPrice suggests there’s slightly less power here.

That said, the Exynos 2400e should still be more powerful and more power efficient than the Exynos 2200 used in the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE.

Interestingly, an earlier leak suggested that in some regions the Galaxy S24 FE might instead get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which would be a bit more powerful than an Exynos 2400e. That’s a claim we’ve heard more than once, so you might luck out and get a Snapdragon chipset in the Galaxy S24 FE in some parts of the world.

For RAM, the benchmark mentioned above listed 8GB, which is what you get in the Galaxy S23 FE. However, several sources have said that the Galaxy S24 FE could actually top out at 12GB of RAM, so there might be both 8GB and 12GB models of the S24 FE.

For storage, we’ve heard talk of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE being available in both 128GB and 256GB capacities. Those Galaxy S24 FE storage capacities have been mentioned multiple times, and would be the same as those currently offered for the Galaxy S23 FE.

As for the battery, the most detailed Samsung Galaxy S24 FE battery leak so far points to a 4,565mAh battery capable of lasting for up to 29 hours of video playback or 78 hours when listening to music.

We’re inclined to believe these claims, but it’s worth noting that a couple of earlier Galaxy S24 FE battery leaks pointed to Samsung’s next FE having a slightly smaller 4,500mAh battery.

Finally, we’ve heard that the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE could come with various AI features, like other reasonably high-end Samsung phones.
