Writing a resume can be a frustrating process. Finding the right words to highlight your experience, tailoring your resume for different jobs, and making sure it passes applicant tracking systems (ATS) can feel overwhelming. That’s where ChatGPT can help . By using the right prompts, you can quickly refine your resume, generate strong bullet points, and make sure your application stands out to recruiters. Whether you’re starting from scratch or improving what you already have, here’s how to make AI work for you. How To Write A Strong Resume Summary With ChatGPT A resume summary should be clear, engaging, and to the point. It’s your chance to introduce yourself and highlight what makes you a strong candidate. If you’re struggling to get it right, try this prompt: “Write a professional resume summary for a [job title] with [years] of experience in [industry]. Focus on key skills in [specific skills], major accomplishments, and career goals. Keep it under 100 words.” For example, if...
Crafting the perfect resume requires strategic decisions about what to include and what to leave out. One of the most common questions job seekers face is how many jobs they should list. While you want to showcase your experience, overwhelming recruiters with excessive details can work against you. The ideal number of jobs to include depends on factors like your career stage, relevance to the role, and resume length guidelines. How Much Work Experience Should You Include? A general rule of thumb is to include 10 to 15 years of work history. This provides employers with enough context about your career progression while keeping your resume concise. If you have decades of experience, listing every job you’ve ever had isn’t necessary. Instead, focus on positions that are most relevant to your current career goals. For early-career professionals, it’s acceptable to list all your past jobs, internships, or even significant freelance work. If you’ve only had one or two formal jobs,...
Midway through the pandemic , in 2022, there were a small amount ( 19% ) of American workers who were working in jobs that were exposed to artificial intelligence (AI). Meanwhile, almost one-quarter (23%) of workers had the least exposure to AI. The remaining job industries varied with AI exposure. And while there are differing opinions about whether AI is taking away jobs from American workers or helping them to skip monotonous tasks, job seekers would arguably agree that they’d love to have an AI program that automatically filled in all of those little boxes in job applications. Even with a functional resume that focuses exactly on what the job description is looking for, some companies will still require filling out traditional job applications with your job history in sequential order. And this can quickly get tedious. Autofill sorta helps but not enough to avoid job seekers having to edit the automated info afterwards. So with all the extra work involved in using automated...
All too often, job seekers will notice a job that they’re fully qualified to do, but their resumes may not reflect this. There could be gaps in employment, job titles that don’t match well with a different job description or lack of experience as a recent graduate. Using a functional resume, instead of a chronological resume, can be a useful way to get past the artificial intelligence resume barriers and into a busy hiring manager’s inbox. What Is A Functional Resume? The traditional resume starts from your current (relevant) job to your first job, breaking down job titles, time of employment and job descriptions. In chronological order, this allows a hiring manager to see how you may have moved up the ladder to where you are now. The problem with this resume is there may be stagnant moments or jobs that have nothing to do with what the employer is looking for. This is when a functional resume comes into play, especially if you’re pursuing a career change. You have the chance to be...
Crafting the perfect resume is a bit like cooking the perfect meal. You want just the right amount of ingredients, cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. One of the most common questions job seekers face is how many pages their resume should be. It’s a balancing act between providing enough information to showcase your skills and keeping it concise enough to hold the reader’s attention. Let’s dig into the nitty-gritty of resume length and find out what works best for you. Understanding The One-Page Resume Rule AndreyPopov For years, the one-page resume has been touted as the gold standard, especially for recent graduates and early-career professionals. The idea is simple: keep it short and sweet. Hiring managers often have stacks of resumes to sift through, and a concise, well-organized one-pager can make a strong impression. However, the one-page rule isn’t set in stone. It’s more of a guideline than a hard-and-fast rule. If you can fit all your relevant experience and...

Resumes usually have no specific guidelines despite being the most crucial aspect of initially applying for a job . However, there is still an unspecified standard that resumes are expected to uphold by employers and recruiters. This makes job searching very often challenging and ambiguous. Luckily, there are some recommended guidelines to follow when it comes to curating a resume that have been recommended by job recruiters and other experts in the subject. Here are some guidelines for those wondering “how far back should a resume go?” A general rule of thumb is to include around 10-15 years of work experience on a resume. According to Lisa Tynan for Top Resume , reducing the job history section of a resume to this amount of time helps to keep the resume concise, only focuses on the most important and/or relevant information and combats against age discrimination caused by the amount of time a person has spent working. However, thinking in terms of the specific industry/position...
