To optimize my resume, I used prompts that asked ChatGPT to rewrite and reformat my original resume for two different industries: marketing and healthcare. I specified a bold, creative style and provided instructions for separating the two versions so each was tailored to its target audience. These prompts helped guide the AI to restructure my experience, adjust the wording, and highlight different strengths depending on the job type.

The most significant changes between my original resume and the AI generated versions were the language, tone, and focus. The wording was more polished and professional, and each version emphasized the skills that matched the specific industry. For marketing, the AI highlighted creativity, communication, and branding. For healthcare, it focused more on compassion, organization, and customer support. The formatting and layout also became cleaner and more visually appealing.

Overall, I learned how powerful prompt engineering can be when tailoring content for different audiences. By giving clear instructions, I was able to transform the same experiences into two resumes that present me in the best way for completely different career paths. It was my first time using AI for this, and the process was simple, fast, and effective.
