AI can be used to identify industries, companies or positions that you are qualified for or align with your background. It can also be used to assess your skill set for potential roles or identify gaps in your knowledge.

 

Sample Prompts:

• "What are some job positions that someone with my major, experience, and skills would be qualified for?" + paste your major and resume. 
• "What are common skills needed for [job title] on a daily basis?"
• "What are common skills between these job descriptions? Which of those skills are missing from my resume?" + paste in your resume and job descriptions.

Experience:

Resumes should include details about your responsibilities and accomplishments of previous experiences. AI can help you revise current bullet points toward a specific position.

 

Sample Prompts:

• "Revise this bullet point in my resume with language from this job description." + paste resume bullet point and job description.

Skills:

Your resume should reflect your skills and your past experiences and should be tailored to the job you are applying for. Use AI to help you tailor your existing resume to a specific job description and identify keywords to incorporate into your document.

 

Sample Prompts:

• "What are the keywords from this job description that are missing from my resume?" + paste both the job description and your resume.
• "Give me 10 options on how to incorporate these keywords into my resume."

It is vital that your cover letter reflects your voice and your experience that will follow you to the interview phase.  What AI provides in a cover letter needs to be a starting point and not your final draft.

 

Sample Prompts:

• "Write a cover letter using experiences from my resume that align with this job description." + paste in your resume and job description. 
• "Rephrase my achievements in a way that highlights measurable outcomes." + paste in your resume and job description.
• "Suggest action verbs that would make my writing more dynamic and impactful." + paste in your cover letter.

AI can help you prepare for upcoming interviews. We recommend using the STAR format to answer questions: Situation – Task – Action – Result
