It&#8217;s also heavily guarded by automated screening tools that can bury your application before a human ever sees it. That means a generic, &#8220;one-size-fits-all&#8221; resume is a quick way to ensure your name never makes it past the digital gatekeepers. <\/p>\n<p class=\"u-speakableText-p2\">While a cover letter is where you can showcase your personality, your resume functions as a technical pitch deck; if it hasn&#8217;t been tailored to reflect the exact role you&#8217;re after, you&#8217;re essentially invisible to recruiters.<\/p>\n<p>That means investing time to create an epic resume could really pay off. It&#8217;s the first touchpoint you get with a prospective employer. But if staring at a blank page and trying to write about yourself feels overwhelming, then let <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><span>artificial intelligence<\/span><\/span> do some of the legwork for you.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re struggling to condense decades of your career highlights into two pages, read on.<\/p>\n<p>(Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET&#8217;s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.)<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"AI Atlas art badge tag\" height=\"268.29694323144105\" width=\"768\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>   <\/p>\n<h2>Best AI tools for building a resume<\/h2>\n<p><span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><span>ChatGPT<\/span><\/span>, the breakout <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><span>generative AI<\/span><\/span> tool, can help you with the best practices of resume writing and speed up the process.
