Why your AI Generated Resume might be holding you back – And What to Do about it?

In today’s digital world, it’s no surprise that many people are turning to AI/Chat GPT to assist them write their resumes and other job application documents. As it is fast, easy and can be a helpful starting point — especially when you’re staring at a blank screen wondering how to sell yourself.

But here’s the catch…

Recruiters and hiring managers are onto it.

They are receiving hundreds of resumes, many sounding eerily similar; ie. the same structure, same overused phrases and same robotic tone. And unfortunately, when your resume blends in and does not “Stand Out from the crowd”. Also Application Tracking Systems (ATS) can also delete your files, then a human eye does not see your job application documents — and that could mean missing out on roles you’re perfectly suited for.

I was speaking at an event recently, and a member of the audience — a Nursing Unit Manager from Queensland Health — said this exact thing:

“We can spot an AI-generated resumes instantly. We receive hundreds of applications that all sound the same and using the same words — it’s making it harder to find the real standouts.”

That really hit home. Even when AI gives you a head start,you still need a resume that shows who you are — not just what you do.

That’s where I come in.

As a professional resume writer, I work with clients from diverse occupations at all levels, every day who have used AI to draft their resumes — and then hit a wall. What they need isn’t just a basic rewrite, but a resume that:

• Reflects who they are;

• Is tailored for the job advertisement and their specific industry; and

• Reads like it was written by a confident, capable human (not ChatGPT).

So, if you’ve got an AI-generated resume, send it my way. For just a small fee, I’ll personally review and rework your resume to make it clear, concise and compelling — without losing your voice.

Let’s turn that AI draft into a resume you’re proud to send.
