AI Prompt template to generate resumes and cover letters
Appetizer
In this post we are going to build a prompt for instructing AI to create resumes customized for each job’s description.
NOTE: For the purpose of this post, I am going to use my data for building the resume, but you must use your own data*
Let’s Start!
Main-course
Basic Prompt Template
Write a crisp {output_document} for {canditate_name}.
To write it, use the below mentioned informations:
1. Below is the information on {canditate_name}'s career journey, achievements, skill-set and contact handles:
```
{canditate_career_profile_data}
```
2. Below is the job description for which the resume needs to be created:
```
{job_description}
```
Variables
As you can see there are variables like {output_document}, {canditate_name}, {canditate_career_profile_data} and {job_description}, in the above prompt. We have to replace these variable with actual data to make this prompt work well.
Here I will use the my career’s data:
- {output_document}
The value of this variable can be:resumecover letter
-
{canditate_name}
Vishesh Gupta -
{canditate_career_profile_data} : Here i am just copying all the text from my resume and structuring it neatly. This is the text value for this variable
- {job_description} : job’s description for which I am building my resume. In this case, I am trying to apply for the role of Principal Backend Engineer, at BitGo. For this job listing, we copy the entire text for this jd. Here is the text value for this variable.
This is the the Final Prompt Value.
Dessert
Use the final prompt value as the input for your AI tool like ChatGpt, or etc, to instruct AI to build your resume.
Output
Using the final prompt as the input to the chatGpt:
- output resume: my resume
- output cover letter: my cover letter
Conclusion
This resume builder template can be used to build resumes for different jobs and for different candidates by changing the value of these 3 variables in the prompt.
Hope this helps you to leverage AI to its best in your job search efforts
