Imagine walking into an interview already knowing that your resume has impressed the hiring manager. That’s the power of a well-crafted resume.
These nine stages are all critical pieces of the resume puzzle. With just one piece missing, the full picture doesn’t come together.
The first stage is research. How well do you really know the company you’re applying to? How about the person who might hire you? The job description and hiring manager’s LinkedIn profile are your key sources. With chatGPT, you can analyze these and identify the top 5 to 10 essential skills from the job description. This is the key requirements for the hiring manager’s profile. Analyze this profile and identify interests, values, and language that resonate with this person. Also, have chatGPT analyze your current resume by asking, ‘Compare my skills with the requirements from this job description’ and highlight the overlaps.
Next is the skill and experience alignment. Matching skills is basic, but how you do it matters. Chat Tubidy can help you take it to the next level. You can prompt chatGPT to extract the critical skills from the job description and highlight matching experiences in your resume. You can also take it further by aligning with company values. For example, you might prompt chatGPT to suggest ways to align your projects with these company values, and this can show that you are a cultural fit.
Structuring achievements is critical. With chatGPT, create compelling quantifiable statements rather than just listing accomplishments. Start by identifying the achievements you want to highlight. Next, ask chatGPT to help you format these achievements into bullet points with action verbs, tasks, and results. And watch how the model crafts precise impactful bullets.
Using industry terms and keywords gets you past ATS systems and creates resonance with the hiring manager. You can prompt chatGPT to extract the keywords in industry language from the job description. Next, integrate them by weaving these keywords naturally into your resume. You can also try to reflect the hiring manager’s specific language based on your earlier analysis. You can prompt chatGPT to do that by saying, ‘Please tailor the terms and language to mirror the hiring manager’s language.’
Your resume tells a story, and chatGPT can help you craft this story in career progression seamlessly. You might prompt chatGPT to help you create a narrative reflecting your milestones and tailor your career journey to the role. You can even ask chatGPT to personalize it by using the insights that you got from the hiring manager’s LinkedIn profile.
A cohesive design and consistent language make your resume polished. ChatGPT can ensure both visual appeal and language alignment. You might prompt chatGPT to create a professional consistent layout fitting two pages and align the language with the company branding to make the resume resonate.
Your first iteration of your resume won’t be perfect, so there’s a need to refine and align it. You can ask chatGPT to review your resume for alignment with the job description and let its insights guide you for further refinements. You can also get feedback from your friends or other stakeholders and ask chatGPT to incorporate such feedback into your resume.
Finally, resumes are about people, not just skills. Use chatGPT to craft passion and connection. Identify what drives you, then prompt chatGPT to help you express this passion in your resume. You can also prompt chatGPT to align your resume with the company values and with your passion and show that you are a value fit.
