00:06write your entire resume for you. I'm a former recruiter and hiring manager, and I will tell

00:11you right now, we can immediately tell when an entire resume has been AI driven. The language

00:16is sort of uncanny. It's very robotic. So you want to make sure that you're using AI in a smart way.

00:22For example, you can use it to distill down job descriptions, copy paste the job description in

00:27and ask AI, hey, what are the top skills mentioned in this job description? Tell me the top five

00:32skills that were mentioned in these job descriptions that I'm applying for. That's a great way to keyword

00:44grammar. That is so important because right now you need to have a resume that's 100% error free.
