Career Insight: Don’t Let ChatGPT Rewrite You Out of Your Resume
Newly Added Jobs - Total 117 remote and high paying social impact jobs live on our job board.
Have you ever uploaded a photo of yourself to ChatGPT or another AI tool and asked it to tweak something? Maybe fix the lighting, clean up the background, or make it a bit brighter. If you keep prompting it enough times, eventually you won’t even recognize your own face in that picture. It starts to change little by little until it becomes something completely different.
That’s what happens to your resume when you keep running it through ChatGPT for “just one more edit.” Each time, it changes more until you end up with a jumble of keywords like strategy, impact, and stakeholder engagement that don’t actually say much about what you’ve accomplished.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t use AI tools. I actually encourage you to. They can save you time and make your process smoother. However, there’s a better way to use them without letting them delete your voice and personality from your materials.
Here’s how:
Write your own accomplishments first.Start with an action verb, describe what you did, and finish with the result. Quantify it when possible.
Ask ChatGPT to check for grammar and clarity.Don’t ask it to rewrite - because it will exagerate and make up things for you.
Read it out loud.Does it sound like you? Does it feel right to you? If yes, then you’ve used ChatGPT in a way that makes your job search easier without losing your authenticity.
You also don’t need to use ChatGPT for every single job you apply to. Create a few versions of your resume for different categories of roles (such as programs, operations, or development).
When you find a specific job you’re excited about, try this:
Copy and paste the job description and your resume into ChatGPT.
Prompt it with: I’m applying to this job. Am I a good fit? What am I missing?
ChatGPT will compare both and tell you which skills or experiences you could emphasize.
Write those parts yourself. Then, if you want, run your draft back through ChatGPT for a quick grammar or clarity check.
When I work with people one-on-one, my favorite part is helping them pull out their accomplishments in a way that feels true to who they are. So many people come to me after having ChatGPT rewrite their resume again and again until it looks generic and boring.
And you, my friend, are not generic nor boring.
Let’s make sure your resume isn’t either.
