Overview

Join us for a workshop that guides you through writing an industry-focused resume while using generative AI responsibly. We’ll discuss combining brainstorming, crafting helpful gen AI prompts, avoiding buzzwords, and evaluating and personalizing the results. Through hands-on exercises and peer feedback, you’ll leave with parts of a refined resume that positions you for your next step. 


By the end of this session, you will:

  • Generate effective AI prompts to support responsible resume brainstorming and drafting
  • Evaluate AI-generated content for relevance and authenticity—avoiding keyword stuffing and generic phrasing
  • Translate Academic Experience – highlight transferable skills, research expertise, and leadership experience to align with sector expectations
  • Write Bullet Points with Job-Specific Measurable Specificity – develop strategies to personalize your resume for specific job postings and share your value with potential employers
