How AI can build your resume

That’s something I’ve been exploring lately due to the fact that I’ve been having a really hard time finding a jobs of late and it looks to be almost a full time job. You have to apply to every job possible but you shouldn’t just apply and go to the next. It’s almost a competition to get the recruiter or Hiring manager to see your resume due to the fact that is large number of people applying for the same job and don’t get me started on the remote positions that are either already filled or people Applying to jobs that are just looking for the right person to join their cliche of people.  The real question is How can AI help me in the job market?  The simple answer is that it can help you build your resume and I’ll provide a few good ones to use to help you build or modify your resume to help get jobs online.

  • Jobscan.co —  Will help you optimize your resume to make it easier for the online applications to get to the recruiter instead of being sent to the trash by the automatic job filtering system called the ATS(Applicant Tracking System) and that could cause you to not be seen by the employers.
  • wonsulting.ai — Is good at helping you build a new resume when the need arises.  Some people say this is necessary for each and every applications.  I am not certain that is needed because if you are applying to jobs that you have done in the past then you should be able to stand out anyways.
  • Rezi.ai — Is another good one that will do everything Wonsulting does but may be a better match to your needs.   Each one has their own unique way to creating the resume but it is sure better to explore all available alternatives that may be available.
  • Resume.io  — Will help with creating an eye catching resume for to get those recruiters that may see this.  It however is just like every other one but may have some good free resume building templates that might be something you are looking for.

Can AI build a good Cover Letter?

Even when you are looking to apply for jobs, a good cover letter can help you in landing that interview the rest is up to you and I’ve been trying new ones recently due to need to be competition for finding that one job.  I’d thought I would at least provide some good ones that I’ve tried recently that are free and can be used to impress that one hiring manager to giving your a chance.

  • Grammarly.com — is the one that I’ve tried recently and has been somewhat successful in helping me at least get noticed whether it is the best is the still up for debate by everyone.  It however has been something I have been using on occasion to create good cover letters.
  • Coverletter-ai.com — Is good at using multiple ways to customize the cover letter and tweak it even more and change the writing styles which may help you to stand out.   I’ve only used this once but someone might like to try it out due to what their needs are.  It looks interesting and that much is something that might get those hiring managers to give your a chance.

For most of these are just the ones I have used.  I however suggest you try the ones that you can use with the Resume builders part.  Some or most of them will also create good cover letters to help you with creating a good cover letter also.  I however haven’t really used them for that but it might be something to consider.

Can AI help me find Jobs?

That is the next question that I would like to address.  It actually looks like it can and that can help you find jobs that you might not know about.  Here are a few that might interests you in the future or now.  Some of these are in beta and may not be something that you can use right now but something to consider in the future.

  • Sonara.ai (Beta) — is an AI-powered tool designed to streamline your job search process and automatically apply for jobs that match your resume and preferences. I’m in the waiting list for this one and have yet to try it out.
  • Careerflow.ai — Accelerate your job search with a personalized CRM! Keep track of all your jobs opportunities, applications, notes, contacts, in one single dashboard.  They also have a good Chrome extension that might be useful for those who are looking for a job and keep track of all the ones you have applied for so you don’t apply to the same one twice.

As you can see there are several different options for you to use to help you find a job but it still takes effort to find that job and you will need to keep applying to jobs until you land that one job that you are looking for.  However these AI tools will help you with your job searches and job applications to make it easier and faster to apply for jobs that you might be interested in.   If you like this blog post don’t forget to sign up for more like this and other blog posts.
