The resume is traditionally a tool that is utilized to get the attention of employers and present yourself as the perfect applicant. It details your work experience, listing previous jobs with company names, locations, job titles, dates of employment, and key responsibilities and achievements. Your education background is included, with institutions attended, degrees earned, and graduation dates, along with any relevant coursework or honors. Finally, a skills section showcases both hard and soft skills pertinent to the job you’re applying for.
Looking into the future, AI is a stakeholder in helping job seekers tweak their resumes. This will make it easier for people to land interviews after a resume review. AI automation will assist in helping job seekers include keywords that will be picked up by applicant tracking systems and providing help with substance, framework, and layout.
