Mastering Modern Resumes with AI
Hiring managers spend 6 to 10 seconds scanning your resume. That is all the time you have to make an impression. This session covers what a modern resume looks like, what has changed in the current marketplace, and how to position your accomplishments around measurable results instead of task descriptions. You will also learn how to use AI to pull strategic keywords from job descriptions and tailor your resume for each role without starting from scratch.
What attendees will walk away with:
~ A clear understanding of the five essential sections of a modern resume (header, summary, experience, education, skills) and when to include additional sections
~ How to write a professional summary that works like an elevator pitch
~ How to rewrite experience bullet points using measurable, results-oriented language
~ Practical tips for optimizing a resume for Applicant Tracking Systems so it does not get filtered out before a human sees it
~ A reusable resume structure and a simple system to keep it current
Ideal for:
~ Job seekers who have not updated their resume in years
~ Mid-career professionals preparing for a new role or promotion
~ Career changers who need to reposition their experience
~ Anyone whose resume lists tasks instead of results
~ Libraries, workforce development programs, professional associations, and corporate learning events
