Will it be easy to find a job in 2024? What tools are you still using? As artificial intelligence gradually came onto the stage last year,ChatGPT Tools such as these help us improve our self-positioning and writing when looking for a jobResumePersonalized assistance will be provided.
This article will guide you step by step to improve your resume with ChatGPT and guide you to combine historical job search strategies with the most advanced AI technology to ensure that you become an outstanding candidate for your ideal position.
1. Early preparation for job hunting: use ChatGPT to conduct a comprehensive self-assessment
You can’t look for a job if you don’t know what type of position you’re looking for. So it’s necessary to start with a combination of your own knowledge and skills and the market needs to make sure you’re on the right track. That’s why I recommend doing a comprehensive self-assessment.
This is where you'll list your recent accomplishments, skills, and technical expertise, which will help to accurately summarize what you might know. You'll use this later to craft a well-crafted resume that fits your niche and the value you bring to the table.
The best way to start is to take out a piece of paper or write down your answers to the following questions in a notepad on your computer. Here are some questions I ask myself before I start writing my resume.
1.What industries do you like to work in?
2. Do you currently have a resume or personal works?
3. What is your ideal position? Have you looked at the job requirements to see what position you would be suitable for?
4. What do you think are the current challenges?
5. List all the technical skills you have that are relevant to your desired position. Include any tools, software, or methodologies you are proficient in.
6. Do you have the relevant certifications required for the position?
7. List recent achievements or career highlights.
8. What unique value have you brought to the company/organization?
9. What problems have you solved or contributed in your past positions?
Now that you have the answers to this list of questions, you need to conduct targeted job searches on platforms such as Liepin, Boss Zhipin, Zhaopin, LinkedIn, etc. to determine the skills and experience that are in high demand for the position you are looking for. You can do this by selecting your ideal position in mind and searching based on the job description, saving at least 3 examples of job descriptions.
This dual strategy of self-assessment and market analysis is crucial because you are laying the foundation for a resume that not only showcases your abilities but also perfectly aligns with the expectations of potential companies you work with.With the preparations complete, it is now time to build the ChatGPT prompt.
2. Use ChatGPT tool to plan a clear job position for yourself
Assuming you have completed the above self-assessment, you now need to put it all together. For the sake of example, here is a fictional job seeker role:
Zhang Xiaofan, male, 23 years old, graduated from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, and wants to find a job as a product manager in the artificial intelligence industry.
Tip: Let’s say you’re an interviewer at a well-known company and your job is to help me find the role and position that best fits my background. Here’s a list of my recent accomplishments and skills, including [list your skills and accomplishments]. I’m targeting the [your target position] position. Based on this, what type of position would I be a good fit for?
We use the virtual character information of Zhang Xiaofan to substitute thisPrompt word, and we get the following result:
For this example, ChatGPT continuously gives suggestions on the expected job types that are suitable for job-seeking roles, and also expands the job types based on the job seeker's background and experience.It also provides career development strategies and relevant interview advice.
The first result you receive may not be the best. You need to read it carefully to make sure it does not give you some junk suggestions. If you feel you need useful suggestions, save them in your notes in time.
3. Use ChatGPT to optimize your resume and job description
Now that you have the ideal job that best matches your background, the next step is to use the ChatGPT tool to compare and contrast your resume with the job descriptions you searched for during your initial assessment, highlighting the best matches for you and refining your description.
Tip: Now that you have a list of the skills and ideal job titles I want to work in, take my resume and compare it to the job description for [ideal job title], highlighting the matches. Here is my current resume [enter your resume, no confidential content] and here is the job description for [ideal job title].
Suppose our virtual character Zhang Xiaofan finally decides that he wants to apply for a job as an AI product manager. He sees the job information of an AI product manager in a large company as shown in the following figure:
Use the above prompt words to substitute Zhang Xiaofan's information and use AI tools to optimize our resume description. Because this prompt word is a bit long, I will only put the screenshot results of the practical demonstration here:
As shown in the figure above,You can see that ChatGPT takes the personal information provided by the virtual character and then emphasizes the skills that are suitable for the position the character is seeking, and why it is valuable to write about it in this way for this position.This is great information to have because not only will you know the requirements for the position you are seeking, but you will be able to comment on these key points if you are invited for an interview at a later date.
4. Use ChatGPT to create your resume
In the previous part of this article, we discussed how to use ChatGPT to conduct self-assessment and highlight your job search strengths. Now that you have a good foundation of information, you can actually start to create your resume. Before you start, you need to determine the format of your resume. A personal resume usually contains the following:
- Title: Job intention
- Basic personal information
- Personal self-evaluation
- Professional skills
- Work Experience
- Education
- Project Experience
- Certificate Awards
We can use the following prompts to write a draft of our resume using ChatGPT.
Tip: Now that you have information about the skills I want to pursue and the ideal job position, please use the STAR principle to write a resume for me that is highly consistent with the job description of [ideal position]. Please use the following content structure format:
Title: Job intention
Basic personal information
Personal self-evaluation
Professional skills
Work Experience
Education
Project Experience
Certificate Awards
This prompt is also a bit long, so I will just post the screenshot results of the actual demonstration here.
