To create my two AI-optimized resume versions, I used specific prompts that focused on tailoring my experience toward different industries. For the accounting and finance version, I asked the AI to highlight skills such as accuracy, organization, cash handling, and attention to detail. I also prompted it to rewrite my customer service experience in a way that emphasized data entry, transaction management, and reliability since those skills transfer well into accounting roles.
For the marketing and general business version, I used prompts that focused on communication, customer engagement, teamwork, and problem-solving. I asked the AI to reframe my work experience to show how I’ve interacted with customers, supported operations, and contributed to a positive environment. This helped shift the language to fit roles where communication and people skills matter more.
Comparing the original and AI-generated versions helped me understand how the same experience can be reframed for different audiences. With the right prompts, AI can emphasize certain strengths, adjust tone, and reorganize information. I learned that prompt engineering is really about giving clear instructions so the AI can shape the content in a way that matches each industry’s expectations.
