Use AI to Write a Better Resume

Writing a resume can be difficult, but AI can help.

Think of AI as a helpful assistant. You tell it about your work experience, and it helps turn it into a clear, professional resume.

You don't need to be good with technology to get started.


Step 1: Gather Your Information

Write down:

  • Previous jobs
  • What you did in each role
  • Your skills
  • Qualifications or licences
  • Volunteer work (if any)
  • The job you want

Never share personal information such as your passwords, bank details, Medicare number or Tax File Number.


Step 2: Ask AI

Open a free AI tool like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini.

Try this prompt:

Help me write a resume for a warehouse assistant job using simple, professional language.

Replace warehouse assistant with the job you're applying for.


Step 3: Add Your Experience

Describe one job at a time.

For example:

I worked in a café for two years. I served customers, made drinks, used the cash register and cleaned tables. Turn this into professional resume bullet points.

Don't worry about making it sound professional—AI will improve the wording.


Step 4: Tailor Your Resume

Copy the job advertisement into the chat and ask:

Please tailor my resume to this job advertisement. Only use the information I've provided.


Step 5: Check Before You Apply

Before sending your resume, check that:

  • Everything is true
  • Dates are correct
  • It sounds like you
  • There are no spelling mistakes

Then copy it into Microsoft Word or Google Docs and save it as a PDF.
