After seeing so many people being laid off, I've created a 'Missing Manual Part 2' with ChatGPT to help job seekers explain their experience and skills more effectively. This is especially important for senior professionals, who may find it difficult to articulate their achievements and value proposition.
I hope that this resource will be useful to some.
2. 1.Remember…
ChatGTP “augments” your intelligence…
it doesn’t replace it.
You ChatGPT
You are fully accountable on how you
are using chatGPT’s outputs
3. 2.”Brain dump”
ChatGPT-3 needs data.
'Dump' your life using speech-to-text if you don't like to write.
This will provide the raw content to be used with ChatGPT-3
4. 3.Data upload
•Break down your content into chunks and
upload them to ChatGPT-3 piece by piece,
asking it to acknowledge the reception each
time.
•Tip: Once all chunks are uploaded, ask
ChatGPT-3 to con
fi
rm.
5. 4. Resume writing (draft)
•Ask ChatGPT-3 to restructure your raw data by
keeping the most relevant parts.
•Tip 1: The output is likely to exceed
ChatGPT-3's limit, so ask to output content
chronologically (e.g., from 2000 to 2010, then
from 2010 to 2015, etc.).
•Tip 2: Iterate through each chunk to ensure
that you and ChatGPT-3 accurately capture
what is relevant.
•Tip 3: At the end, create a new chat and
message each chunk, then ask ChatGPT-3 to
con
fi
rm that it has everything.
6. 5. Resume rewriting
•Ask chatGPT to put together all the chunks by
rewriting your resume
•Tip 1: ChatGPT-3 is hard-stopped when the
output becomes too wordy, so the output must
be limited to 2000 tokens to avoid the content
being cut o
ff
.
•Tip 2: Make sure the base from which
ChatGPT-3 starts is clean (put the ask along
with the chunks in one single message).
7. 6. ATS simulation
•Get a job description you are interested in and
ask chatGPT to “simulate” an ATS (automatic
talent system) and especially the odds of being
noticed with your resume.
•Tip : challenge chatGPT! Its opinion is
sometimes not accurate and/or it might give a
perspective you would have never thought
about.
8. 7. Speci
fi
c resume
•Ask ChatGPT-3 to rewrite your resume for a
speci
fi
c job description.
•Tip : Recreate a 'new' chat with the resume and
job description for each new job description.
Break down the ask into two messages:
• Message 1: Ask whether the job description
was well received.
• Message 2: Include your resume and ask
ChatGPT-3 to rewrite it according to the job
description in its memory.”
9. 8. Cover letter
•Ask ChatGPT-3 to write a cover letter based on
both your resume and the job
•Tip : Request several variations from ChatGPT-3
and mix them together (see the missing manual
part 1)
10. Thank you !
