Creating a Resume with AI
Guide: How to Create Your Own Resume Using Artificial Intelligence
From the Smart Repairman and his AI partner (in this case, Microsoft Copilot) 😉
In today's world, artificial intelligence (AI) is an incredibly intelligent tool capable of processing vast amounts of information and generating professional, structured resumes. To fully leverage this power, it's crucial to provide AI with as much relevant information about yourself as possible and clearly define what you expect from it.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Prepare as much information about yourself as possible
The more information you provide to AI, the more accurate and high-quality the result will be.
Here's a list of what should be included:
Your name and identity: How do you want to be presented? You can also add nicknames or professional titles (e.g., "Martin Beran – Smart Repairman").
Profile: Summarize who you are, what defines you, and what your goals are (e.g., "Innovator with a vision for the future").
Strengths: Describe what makes you unique and what you excel at.
Skills: Specify the areas in which you excel, and be concrete.
Experience: Include your greatest achievements or key projects.
Interests: List your hobbies that reflect your personality and values.
Smart Repairman's Tip: If you have your own website or another source with more information about you, simply take the texts from there and insert them directly into the request for AI. For example, descriptions of projects or summaries of your competencies – AI will appreciate it and easily work with this data.
2. How to ask AI to create a resume?
Formulate your request as precisely as possible. Here's an example:
"I would like AI to create a professional resume for a scientist position. I provide the following information about myself: [insert information]. Please compile this into a structured and clear CV."
If you have a specific idea about the structure, add, for example:
"The CV should include sections such as: Profile, Strengths, Skills, Experience, Interests."
3. Provide as much information as possible
AI is designed to process large volumes of data. Don't be afraid to literally "flood" it with details about yourself! The more specific and accurate the information you provide, the better AI will understand what you want and can create an output that fully represents you.
4. How to use your website
The Smart Repairman recommends:
"If you have a personal website, use it as a source of information. Copy ready-made descriptions of projects, competencies, or even interest areas directly from the website into the request for AI. AI will then easily integrate this information into the resume structure."
5. Collaboration and fine-tuning
Once AI creates the first version of your resume, don't hesitate to ask for adjustments.
Examples:
"Add more information about my technical skills."
"Highlight my experience in project management."
AI is a tool you can iteratively collaborate with (Iteration is a repeated process in which something is done over and over again to achieve a specific result or improvement.) until you are completely satisfied with the result.
6. The final resume
You're done!
The result is a professional resume that not only summarizes your experience and skills but also represents your personality and values.
Using this guide, anyone can create their own professional resume with AI support. As the Smart Repairman says: "Share as much information about yourself as possible and let AI shine!"
