Resume

To enhance my resume, I used specific prompts that asked the AI to tailor my experience for different roles. For example, I prompted it to “tailor my resume for a social media coordinator position at a small business in Reno” and then to “revise it for a public relations position at the City of Pinole.” I also specified that I was looking for shorter descriptions, summarized experience into clearer bullet points, and to change informal phrases into more professional language.

Between my own original version and the AI-generated versions, the largest changes were clarity, relevance, and tone. The AI reorganized my work experience to highlight specific qualities that aligned more directly with marketing and PR roles like customer service, leadership skills, and communication. It converted long, informal descriptions into brief, practical statements that better fit professional expectations.

Throughout this process, I learned how important prompt engineering is when tailoring content for different audiences. The more goal oriented and specific my prompts were, the more accurately AI was able to adjust structure, tone, and keywords to fit the target role. This whole experience taught me how purposeful language and audience awareness can significantly raise the effectiveness of written communication.
