It’s pretty volatile out there in the jobs market right now and finding a new job is tough. Crafting the perfect resume to catch a hiring manager’s eye takes serious effort.
Luckily, new AI tools like ChatGPT make optimizing your resume for any role you apply for quick and painless. Follow these best practices with specific examples to get ChatGPT working like an expert recruiter on your behalf.
If You Lack a Resume
ChatGPT can get your resume started from scratch. Replace bracketed areas in this template prompt with your own background details:
“I am a [copywriter] with [5] years experience in [digital content creation]. Write an effective resume tailored for [a content marketing manager role] highlighting my relevant qualifications [qualifications] and experience [experience].“
ChatGPT will generate an initial draft resume you can refine further. I avoid including my name, address and any other personal information.
Perfecting Existing Resumes
For those with existing resumes, attach it as a file (Premium subscribers only) to a ChatGPT prompt. Tailor the prompt using the job description of the specific role you are applying for.
Prompt example: “I am a [product marketing manager] applying for [Senior Product Marketing Manager] at [Uber]. Attached is my current resume and the Uber job description. As an expert recruiter, provide detailed feedback optimizing my resume for Uber’s open position.“
ChatGPT will analyze your resume versus the job specifics and offer personalized revision tips to stand out.
Leveraging ChatGPT for intelligent resume building tailored to your target job saves huge headaches. It provides a pseudo-professional recruiter giving your resume an advantage over other applicants. Keep these prompting templates on hand to keep your resume optimized no matter the role throughout your marketing job search.
