AI use case

Write a one-page résumé for a part-time job in retirement

You'd like a part-time job or volunteer role, but your résumé is decades old and you're not sure how to fit a long career onto one page.

How to do it

  1. Tell an AI assistant the job you want and your background in a sentence or two, for example: "Write a one-page résumé for a part-time job at a garden center. I was a bookkeeper for 30 years and I've volunteered at a community garden for five."
  2. Ask it to keep the language simple and to focus on the skills that fit this job.
  3. Check every date, title and detail yourself and correct anything it got wrong or made up.
  4. Reuse the same approach for a short cover note, a club flyer or descriptions for crafts you sell online.
