Has anyone else tried using AI prompts for job searching?
I've been experimenting with AI prompts to improve resumes while job searching.
Some prompts produced much better results than others.
Here are 5 that worked surprisingly well.
Prompt 1 — Resume Rewrite
Act as an expert resume writer specializing in ATS optimization. Rewrite my resume to align with the job description.
Prompt 2 — Achievement Builder
Rewrite my job duties into measurable achievements using numbers and impact.
Prompt 3 — ATS Keyword Extractor
Analyze the job description and identify the most important keywords for a resume.
Prompt 4 — Bullet Point Enhancer
Rewrite my resume bullet points using stronger action verbs and measurable results.
Prompt 5 — Interview Question Generator
Generate the 20 most likely interview questions for this job.
These prompts helped me produce much better resume drafts.
I actually ended up compiling about 75 prompts like this into a toolkit while testing things.
Happy to share more if people are interested.
