How to write a resume with AI

What to give it

• The job description, or the five things the employer cares about.
• Your real roles, dates, and what you actually did.
• The numbers you can defend: team size, budget, volume, deadline, result.
• The tone of the industry. A hospital and a startup do not want the same resume.

What to ask for

Ask for one column, standard headings, and short bullets. Ask it to put the action first and the result last. Ask it to cut anything that does not help you get this job. A simple resume is easier for a person and a tracking system to read.

What to check

• Every number and date against the original.
• Every skill you claim. If you cannot talk about it, remove it.
• The job title and company spelling.
• The file opens on a phone and the text is selectable.
• The final PDF has your contact details, and the chat did not.

Privacy

Remove your full address, phone number, and ID numbers before you paste a resume into any AI. Add them back in the final document. If the app has memory, check what it saved and delete anything you do not want kept.
