    What do you do? What level are you?

  2. Allison Ruffner

    I am an engineer/technologist who architects and is a hiring manager. It is career #3, but one I have been in a about 2 decades.

    This is why I want a professional resume/career guidance. I simply don't fit into a tidy box anymore.

    Top resume

  5. Allison Ruffner

    Thanks! A friend of mine was very pleased with Top Resume.

  6. Mary Meffe

    I used Indeed. Cost was around $150 and they did an excellent job.

  7. Allison Ruffner

    Thanks. I did not know they did that.

    The best thing to do is to join their alumni association if you went to any school beyond high school. Most colleges and trade schools have them. Their website will have career counselors, resume reviews, and a job board for companies that have jobs in areas that the college's curricula cover. Most of them offer these services for free, or they are very reasonable.

    Thank you, I have done this path in the past. ( I have an MS ) They were helpful, and we did move forward, but I am finding that is not quite a fit for where I am in my career.

    I used ChatGpt for a custom resume for each job along with a custom cover letter. It's amazing, effective and free. Of the 7 resumes I sent out I received 5 interview and 2 offers. I was told by one hiring manager that my cover was one of the best he's read.

  11. Allison Ruffner

    Interesting. I did not think of spinning it with ChatGPT, but then again, it only knows what humans teach it. I was not pleased with a proposal I once generated using it. I am looking for a bit more experienced human approach to this, because I simple don't fit in a box.

  12. Alesha

    This is what I was going to suggest!

  13. Ashley Rice

    That sounds great! Do you have any suggestions for prompts I can try to generate a successful cover letter?

    I use: "draft a cover letter for the following job posting (paste that) using the following resume. (Paste that). Please ask me for additional details to ensure the cover letter covers all relevant job requirements and highlights my experience in the strongest way."

    I took this course through Udemy, and it helped tremendously. Resume Secrets: Writing Resumes that Get More Job Interviews

    Thanks so much. I did not know they had a course. In this case, I really do want a professional, because it is a combined effort with fresh eyes on what I am thinking, if that makes sense.

    All good to know.

    I have seen a lot of career coaches on you tube sharing the best ways to update resumes for 2024 and short cuts using ChatGPT, LinkedIn, and other tools to land an interview.

    I am job seeking too and have taken many workshops on effective ways to job search, as I am to pivot a bit. They all suggest using ChatGPT as a tool. I will start from there. It is a free tool. Good luck!

    from my experience, resume presentation, to an extent, depends on the industry/field you're in. make sure to spend a little time looking into that
