What AI Did for My Resume
Keyword Optimization – AI helped me identify terms like Active Directory, Group Policy, MFA, Kaseya, Barracuda, Azure AD, and AI tools that recruiters and ATS systems look for.
Tailored Versions – I created multiple targeted resumes (ATS-optimized, one-page role-specific, quick-apply versions) so I’m prepared for any job application format.
Stronger Impact Statements – AI pushed me to reframe tasks into achievements, such as “ensured quick, thorough, and complete resolutions to access issues” instead of simply “performed password resets.”
Professional Readability – AI helped streamline my content into concise bullets that hiring managers can skim in seconds.
The Value of AI in Resume Writing
AI didn’t just save me time — it made my resume more competitive, keyword-rich, and aligned with today’s IT hiring needs. Combined with my real-world experience, I now have resumes that truly represent my professional brand.
