By using AI tools, seasoned professionals can streamline the résumé-writing process and ensure their experience stands out to employers (and applicant tracking systems). Start with a strong template: Use AI-powered résumé builders or writing tools (such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, or résumé-specific platforms) to generate a professional template tailored to your industry. Customize for each job: Paste the job description into the AI tool and ask it to tailor your résumé or cover letter to highlight relevant skills and keywords. This helps you align with applicant tracking systems (ATS). Showcase your achievements: Ask AI to help you turn job duties into quantifiable achievements. For example, instead of "managed a team," AI can help you say, "led a team of 10 to increase sales by 20%." Check for clarity and tone: Use AI to review your writing for clarity, brevity, and a professional tone. AI can help eliminate jargon or repetitive phrases. Proofread and personalize: Don’t rely solely on AI. Carefully review the final draft to ensure it accurately reflects your experience and personality. Add specific details or anecdotes that make your application unique. Always be mindful when sharing information about yourself online, especially when using digital tools. Highlight transferable skills: If you’re changing industries or roles, prompt the AI to emphasize skills and experiences that are relevant to your new target job. AI can provide a great starting point, but always find ways to add your own voice. Hiring managers appreciate authenticity and a personal touch. How are you leveraging AI in your job search?

Perhaps they’ll just hire AI to do the job for free!
