Candidate Tuesday Tips #6

Hey there! It’s Dan from CCR Search Recruitment Agency.

Today’s candidate Tuesday tips are focused on how to use ChatGPT to tailor your resume. According to an Ex-Google recruiter, Applicants have a 0% chance of moving forward if their resume is full of text bricks. I’ve learned a few tips and tricks when it comes to architecture and what I’ve learned is that you can’t just use bricks to make a house. Building your resume is the same thing. Fortunately for us, our blueprint can be revised with the use of AI. Use these prompts to your advantage.

1. Use role prompting and paste the job description. Example prompt: “You are an expert resume writer with over 20 years of experience working with job seekers trying to land a role in (Industry).” You then paste the job description.

2. Use this prompt: “Based on these 3 most important responsibilities from the job description, please tailor my resume for this (position) at XYZ company. Do not make information up. Here’s my resume.” Paste your resume.

3. Paste this prompt: “List out the differences between my original resume and your suggested draft in table format with 2 columns: original and updated. Be specific and list out exactly what was changed, down to the exact wording.”

4. The final output tells you what changes you can make to your current resume so that you’re speaking in the same language as the recruiter and hiring manager.

5. Copy and paste what you need from the results and make everything into bullet points.

Congrats! You now have a resume tailored towards any job you choose to apply this format to.

Good luck and may you land the role of your dreams!
