Quick check
Guess first, no penalty. You type only your job title, "Sales Associate", into an AI chat tool (an app that answers what you type) and ask for bullets (short lines about what you did) for your resume (the document that lists your work). What will you most likely get?
AI knows nothing about your work. Paste raw facts instead: what you did, which tools, how many people, how much time, and any numbers you are sure about.
A prompt is the message you send to the tool. Use one like this:
Here are raw facts about one part of my work:
[paste what you did, the tools you used, team size, time saved, any numbers you are sure of]
Turn this into 3 different resume bullet versions.
Rules:
- Use plain verbs: built, cut, ran, grew, fixed, taught, shipped.
- Do not invent numbers, results or tools.
- If a number would help but I did not give one, write [number] and ask me what the real figure is.
- Keep each bullet under 25 words.
- End with a short list of questions you need me to answer.
The job I am applying for:
[paste the job description]When AI sends back its questions, answer them with real facts and run the prompt again. That loop is what makes the bullets yours.
