Let&#8217;s dive in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-you-use-ai-to-write-a-resume\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Should you use AI to write a resume?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea of using AI to craft a resume might sound futuristic, but it&#8217;s a practice that\u2019s gaining traction for several good reasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, this new technology makes the possibility of AI-assisted resume writing possible in the first place. But \u201cassistance\u201d is the keyword here\u2014despite the hype, ChatGPT is not a magic bullet that will generate a perfect resume with a single command.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, you\u2019ll need to learn how to use the tool in a way that saves time and effort while ensuring you still contribute to creating a carefully crafted document.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few benefits of using AI in resume writing:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Customization:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have an existing resume that\u2019s more or less ready to go, ChatGPT can help you tailor it for different job roles. For example, by creating a prompt that includes an existing resume with text from a new job ad, ChatGPT can recommend how best to highlight your suitability for the new position.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Writing support:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Writing not your strong suit? ChatGPT can help speed up the process. While you should avoid simply using its output as is, ChatGPT is excellent for ideas generation and first drafts, allowing you to meet application deadlines without compromising on quality.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Meeting technical requirements:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many recruiters now use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to detect keywords and phrases relevant to the role. They\u2019ll use these to filter out resumes that don\u2019t match. ChatGPT can help you choose the right keywords and phrases to increase your chances of making it through the ATS.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Support and guidance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re stuck on what to write, ChatGPT can also act as a guide, asking questions that will help you think differently about how to frame your achievements, skills, and experiences in relation to the job you\u2019re applying for. But more on this later.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How not to use ChatGPT\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although ChatGPT is a great tool, and there is a lot of hype about what it can do, it\u2019s also good to be aware of its shortcomings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, ChatGPT is trained using large amounts of text data. On paper, this sounds good. However, it also means the tool is inclined to use words or phrases that appear more commonly in its training data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, ChatGPT\u2019s output can sound generic, lacking a personal touch or creative flair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This might be acceptable for some use cases, but if you\u2019re using it to write a ChatGPT resume that stands out, you\u2019ll need to keep this in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, relying on AI-generated suggestions without careful review can often lead to inaccuracies. Imprecise prompts, for example, will cause ChatGPT and similar tools to\u00a0 \u201challucinate\u201d or \u201cfill in the gaps\u201d with plausible-sounding nonsense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember this and check the output accordingly if you\u2019re using it to inform your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key takeaway here? AI tools should complement your resume-writing skills, not replace them entirely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-use-chatgpt-to-write-a-resume\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. How to use ChatGPT to write a resume<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a standout resume requires careful consideration, especially during a career change or in a competitive industry like tech or IT.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your resume should, therefore, effectively showcase your skills and highlight why you\u2019re suited to the job you\u2019re applying for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the concepts of \u201cprompts\u201d and \u201coutputs\u201d in ChatGPT come into play. The key to getting the most useful output lies in using nuanced prompts that act as guiding instructions, shaping the direction of the tool\u2019s response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, try crafting prompts that capture your unique experiences, and don\u2019t worry if it requires a little trial and error!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main thing is not to simply accept the first output you receive but to critically review and hone the content as required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll take you through some steps you should consider following to portray yourself in the best possible light. Where relevant, we\u2019ll include examples of good and bad prompts so you can see the difference in practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Determine your aims and target audience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest mistake people make when using ChatGPT is to assume the tool knows everything. This is a fair assumption, but remember, despite being called \u201cartificial intelligence\u201d, it\u2019s not intelligent in the same way that we are!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, before diving into a ChatGPT resume writing session, ensure you have a clear idea of the job you\u2019re applying for and the specific skills relevant to the role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read the job description and see what you can learn about the company culture. You can do this by looking at their website or reading reviews on sites like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trustpilot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (for customer reviews) and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glassdoor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (for employee feedback).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This knowledge will not just help you create prompts that guide ChatGPT to generate more suitable responses but will give you the insights you need to ensure that these responses are accurate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Identify the key sections of your resume<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, your resume should have clear sections, each highlighting different aspects of your professional background. You can, of course, ask ChatGPT to suggest some of these for you, but the common ones are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Contact details:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Name, phone number, email address, and city.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Personal summary:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A brief overview of your career goals and what you can bring to the job.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Skills:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A list of technical and soft skills you have that are relevant to the role.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Work experience:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Details of current and previous jobs, including\u2014where relevant\u2014 responsibilities, achievements, and measurable results as evidence of your success.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Education:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your educational background, including degrees, courses, or online certifications you might have completed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Additional sections:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Depending on the job and your background, you might include sections outlining your awards, publications, or volunteer projects you\u2019ve worked on.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From here, feed your desired sections into ChatGPT and ask it to produce a resume template for the job you\u2019re applying for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we\u2019ve learned by playing with the tool, it helps to specify that it shouldn\u2019t populate the template with any information. This will avoid the tool \u201challucinating\u201d or using made-up facts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can then use this template to develop your ChatGPT resume, section by section.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Craft nuanced prompts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned, the key to getting the best output from ChatGPT is crafting appropriate prompts and breaking tasks down into smaller chunks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resist the temptation to ask ChatGPT to write the whole resume in one go!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be specific and provide context about your experiences, achievements, and skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also specify instructions such as \u201cuse action-oriented language\u201d, or \u201cuse language that would resonate with a tech industry recruiter\u201d. You get the idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main thing is to experiment with different prompts and then choose the outputs that resonate best with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps you want to start with your personal summary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s an example of a sub-optimal prompt for the \u201cpersonal summary\u201d section and the corresponding output:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWrite a basic summary for my resume explaining why I\u2019m suited to a job as UX Designer\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28817 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/chatgpt-resume1.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot of ChatGPT resume writing\" width=\"724\" height=\"444\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/chatgpt-resume1.jpg 724w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/chatgpt-resume1-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, this first output looks pretty good. But as you read more closely, you\u2019ll realize it\u2019s pretty generic-sounding and doesn\u2019t say anything special about why you are suited to the role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By contrast, here\u2019s an example of a good (albeit fictional!) prompt for the \u201cpersonal summary\u201d section:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWrite a 100-word resume summary for a role as UX Designer at software design company Hyperdyne Systems. Highlight my experience as a software engineer at Weyland-Yutani Corporation, where I improved the efficiency of the company\u2019s xenomorph detection software by 30%. Focus on transferable skills and mention that I did a UX Design certification with CareerFoundry.

Remember: you will only get out of AI tools what you put into them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continue this approach for each section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Learn more:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/ux-design\/create-a-ux-resume\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Create a Winning UX Design Resume<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: Refine and review outputs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got ChatGPT\u2019s responses, refine them. Make sure each one matches your preferred style and the job requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Initially, you might find the tool making up information. If that happens, it means you need to provide more context and content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could involve editing your initial prompt or directly editing the autogenerated output for accuracy. Make sure you\u2019re happy that the information flows logically and that there\u2019s nothing erroneous.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Engage ChatGPT in dialogue<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stuck? Sometimes when writing a resume, even with the help of an AI tool, the biggest challenge lies in knowing which skills to highlight and how these can be valuable to a new employer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This problem is even worse if the AI tool starts making up information, which is actually quite common. One solution is to engage ChatGPT in a dialogue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you\u2019re transitioning from marketing to UX design, look at the job description.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps an essential skill is \u201ccoding\u201d. Then you could use the following prompt: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI&#8217;m stuck writing my resume. Can you suggest the sorts of accomplishments I should be highlighting to showcase my coding skills?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28819\" src=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/chatgpt-resume3.jpg\" alt=\"A screenshot of ChatGPT resume writing\" width=\"722\" height=\"635\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/chatgpt-resume3.jpg 722w, https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/chatgpt-resume3-300x264.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, this partial output offers some helpful suggestions for writing your resume, all without \u201challucinating\u201d. While you don\u2019t have to use all (or any) of the ideas that ChatGPT gives you, they can certainly spark new avenues of thinking!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 6: Compile your ChatGPT resume<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next step is to compile all the sections generated by ChatGPT into a cohesive resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One option is to place edited content from ChatGPT into an existing template.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another is to copy and paste each section into a word processor before formatting and proofreading it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whichever approach you choose, stick to a clean, professional layout and use a font that\u2019s easy to read.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay attention to bullet points, headings, and spacing to ensure you create an aesthetically pleasing document that is not more than two sides long.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 7: Tailor your ChatGPT resume for each application<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got your initial draft resume, you\u2019ll have done most of the hard work. Nicely done!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, though, when applying for jobs, customization is key. For each job application, tailor your resume to the company culture and job description.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, ChatGPT can help here, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the right prompt, you can ask it to generate a new version of your resume that matches the requirements of that job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Input the new job description (or, better yet, take each section of the job description and each corresponding section of your resume) and ask the tool to combine them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might not always be happy with the output, but you\u2019ll at least have something to work from. If you\u2019re <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/career-change\/career-change-cover-letter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">writing a cover letter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can use a similar approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>(Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/career-change\/cover-letter-ai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our full guide on how to write a cover letter using AI<\/span><\/a>, too.)<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 8: Final amends<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before submitting your resume, step away from the AI tools! Proofread it thoroughly to catch any grammatical errors or typos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These often sneak in during the editing process.
