More people are using AI to write their resumes. But there’s a problem: most AI tools are making resumes WORSE.
Let me show you what happens when you use ChatGPT, or other generic resume tools:
Your original version:
→ Managed social media accounts
→ Designed email templates for the team
❌ If you ask ChatGPT to rewrite that, it’ll give you:
→ Leveraged strategic social media initiatives to enhance brand visibility and engagement through data-driven content optimization
→ Spearheaded innovative email solutions to drive cross-functional collaboration and optimize communication efficiency
That might look ‘smart’ on the surface. But in hiring manager land, this is what we call buzzword soup. Hiring managers spot this AI-generated garbage instantly - and they skip right past it. It’s a big tell.
Why does ChatGPT write like this? It learns from resume advice on the internet, and most of that advice is terrible.
The truth is, AI can work for resumes. But you need to make sure you’re using tools built specifically for this, trained on what hiring managers want to see. For example, if you used our Resume Rewriter tools, you’d get lines like this:
✅ Grew company Instagram from 800 to 3,200 followers in 4 months by posting 3x weekly and engaging with industry accounts
✅ Designed email toolkit with 8 templates and style guide enabling 3 teams to build mobile-responsive emails; saved roughly 5 hours per week
Hiring managers LOVE stuff like this. You can literally drop these into your resume and know you’ll get a higher response rate every time you apply.
If you’re working on your resume, I’d recommend uploading your resume here. It’ll rewrite everything on your resume in a few seconds, and make sure they don’t sound like AI.
