The capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially when working with textual content, have repeatedly exceeded users’ expectations. And no, here we’re not just talking about text generation — we’re focusing on how this technology can serve in the field of career development, i.e., applying for a new job using AI resume tools.
Changes in Applying for Job Postings
A perfect resume is already a crucial part of successfully landing a specific job offer. Relevant work experience, clear motivation, the demonstration of all skills, etc., allow one to showcase their suitability for a particular position.
However, from a candidate’s perspective, this process can be intimidating and confusing — how to present everything in a compelling and creative way to truly stand out. Fortunately, today’s technologies, such as AI, can assist in crafting your resume and condensing it into just a few pages.
AI tools are especially useful here because they can already synthesize information well — structure or summarize it effectively.
How to Generate the Perfect AI Resume?
Various text generation tools, both general-purpose and more specialized, can be used to create an AI resume. These can include basic tools like ChatGPT or any other AI model, such as Perplexity, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek.
One of the most important aspects of resume creation is providing the tool with contextual information so it can deliver an accurate result. According to CNET, it’s enough to have some sort of resume template, include notes about your previous experience, education, and achievements.
Another tip is to simply ask the chatbot what it needs to create your AI resume. CNET shared an example where the article’s author asked this question to ChatGPT, and it gave the following response (see image below).

The author then provided the system with the necessary information and, after reviewing the result, asked for further revisions until he was finally satisfied with his AI-generated resume.
It’s important to remember that for security reasons, it’s not recommended to provide any AI tool with personal data, such as contact information — you can always add this manually later. A key point here is that you can fix any aspects you may not be happy with — just give the system the necessary instructions, include context and any information that needs to be added, and specify how you want it to be formatted. For example, perhaps you don’t want a single paragraph with a list of skills — you might prefer them separated into two proportional columns instead.
In addition, you can use more than just your existing information. AI systems can help identify what your resume might be missing, offer suggestions, or provide ideas on how to better highlight certain elements.
What Else Not to Forget About AI Resumes?
When creating an AI resume, it’s best used for finding templates, organizing existing information into a structured format, or generating ideas on how to express certain thoughts. It’s also a great tool for correcting grammar mistakes. However, you should always review the generated text and check for factual inaccuracies.
Today’s recruitment companies are already implementing advanced solutions to detect AI-generated content in order to prevent fraud, so it’s not advisable to rely on it blindly — but it serves perfectly as a companion in preparing a well-thought-out resume.
Final Word
AI systems can be valuable in users’ career transitions when aiming for success in applying for certain job positions. And while it’s important to remember that such AI resume tools should be used responsibly, they can indeed serve as an effective aid in striving for the best possible outcome.
