Can I Use ChatGPT to Write My Resume?

Yes, but remember: ChatGPT is an additional tool in your tool belt, it's not a be-all, end-all solution. It can show you how to clearly communicate unique characteristics that you bring to the table. However, it does not know specifics about you, and it can be biased and inaccurate. REMEMBER to read through its responses before clicking "submit!"

A few ways in which the tool can be helpful:

  • Ask ChatGPT about specific companies or industries to gather insights about their culture, work environment, and growth prospects.
    • Example Prompt: What companies in Minnesota are in the ______ industry?
  • Ask ChatGPT to provide edits to your skill statements or give examples of strong skills statements to highlight your work history.
    • Example Prompt: What are strong skill statements summarizing a barista job?
  • Use ChatGPT to review and edit your cover letter for clarity, conciseness, and grammatical errors.
