In my years of recruiting experience, I never saw this day coming. I still can't believe I am sitting here writing a blog post about leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create a resume.
Before I dive deep into my thoughts, I think it's important to note that I continue to test multiple platforms and compare results. As technology evolves, I am committed to doing my due diligence to ensure I am sharing the most accurate and valuable information with my readers, my email community (click here to join), and my clients.
Now with that said, let's chat for a moment about the pros and cons of writing your resume using AI, with a focus on the only tool I recommend at this point - Teal.
The Pros of AI-Generated Resumes
Efficiency - Launching a strategic job search when you're juggling other mom duties while on the journey of career growth demands efficiency. AI tools, particularly Teal, can quickly analyze your input (emphasis on YOUR INPUT) to draft a resume in minutes, which ultimately saves time so you can focus on using that resume to apply for roles or one of the other 150 items on your list of things to do.
Precision - With more and more businesses leveraging AI in conjunction with their Applicant Tracking System (ATS), it is now even more important for you to ensure you're speaking their language. Teal does a great job of incorporating industry-specific keywords, ensuring your resume makes it through the initial screening processes.
Overcoming Writer's Block - For those who struggle with the blank page syndrome, AI helps you get unstuck. It provides you with a starting point on which to build your professional story.
The Cons of AI-Generated Resumes
The Human Touch - While AI is brilliant at processing data, I truly believe there needs to be a human element in your resume to ensure you connect with the human who will ultimately read and evaluate it.
Ensuring Tone and Flow - Teal has advanced natural language processing capabilities, but you absolutely must review the finished product for tone, flow, and overall coherence to ensure alignment with YOU.
The Risk of Inaccuracy - AI operates on patterns and data and there's always a risk of inaccuracies. Those of us with unique professional journeys should always review AI-generated content to ensure accuracy.
