Everything from customising resumes for every job to automating job discovery, AI technologies allow job seekers to apply smarter and score higher-paying roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to learn how to harness AI to land that next big remote opportunity?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then keep reading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What You&#8217;ll Learn:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why AI Resume Tailoring is Important for Remote Jobs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Best Ways To Use AI For Finding Remote Jobs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Tailor Your Resume Using AI (The Correct Way)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Mistakes That Will Get Your AI-Assisted Resume Rejected<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why AI Resume Tailoring is Important for Remote Jobs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you apply to remote work these days, you know how bad the application experience can be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the job, companies can receive hundreds (if not thousands) of applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make things easier on themselves when sorting through applications, 83% of employers now use AI to filter out resumes before they even reach a recruiter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, if your resume doesn&#8217;t contain certain keywords, it will not make it through automation screening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Enter AI Resume Tailoring.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI resume tailoring is where AI technologies are used to customise a resume to fit a job description. Using an AI technology (there are a few options we&#8217;ll dive into later), job seekers can find where a resume&#8217;s keywords are lacking compared to the job description and change them accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are strengths and weaknesses to tools like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/useresume.ai\/blog\/posts\/chatgpt-vs-claude-for-resume-writing-which-ai-gives-better-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ChatGPT vs Claude<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when it comes to resume writing. But for the purpose of AI resume tailoring, they can both be extremely beneficial in helping candidates stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of spending hours upon hours tweaking a resume for each job application, let AI do the heavy lifting in minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Best Ways To Use AI For Finding Remote Jobs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI is not just limited to resumes when hunting for remote jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>There are a variety of tools available that use AI to make the job search easier. Here are a few worth noting:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Job Matching and Discovery:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Finding remote jobs that match specific qualifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cover Letters:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/collegemarker.com\/blogs\/profitable-ways-to-improve-your-writing-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> personalized cover letters for every application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Interview Questions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Practicing interviews before the big day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Finding Compensation Data:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Researching salary expectations per region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get the most out of AI when searching for remote jobs, leverage it across the entire job search and not just for the resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Tailor Your Resume Using AI Remote Work (The Correct Way)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to put AI to work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using AI to tailor a resume for each job application, start with a process. Simply copy and pasting a resume into ChatGPT and calling it a day will not give the best results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here&#8217;s the step-by-step process to tailoring a resume using AI:<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 1: Have a Base Resume<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before even thinking about tailoring a resume to a job description, there should be a master resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This resume will contain all relevant experience, skills, certifications, accomplishments, and anything else earned over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 2: Find the Job Description<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, find the job description of the target role and paste it. With both the base resume and job description inputted, allow the AI to do its job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here&#8217;s what it should do:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compare the resume to the job description<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find what keywords are missing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recommend where keywords can be added onto the resume<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help restructure bullet points to add more impact<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highlight the most relevant experience<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjust the professional summary to match the role<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notice that word &#8220;recommend&#8221;&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AI will give suggestions on where a resume can be improved to match the job description. However, those suggestions should never be taken at face value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, 62% of resumes created with the help of AI get rejected because they lack personality. This is where personal edits matter most.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go through the AI&#8217;s suggestions one by one to ensure everything sounds natural. Adding quantitative data and achievements helps as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to make it look like a human wrote the resume&#8230; not the AI.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Mistakes That Will Get Your AI-Assisted Resume Rejected<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI can be a massive help when searching for remote jobs. But, like with most things in life, there are certain don&#8217;ts that can hurt an application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are some of the most common mistakes job seekers make when using AI to tailor their resumes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Submitting the Same AI Generated Resume to Every Job<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not taking the time to customise a resume per job description is useless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While AI can help save time by quickly generating resumes, candidates still need to put in the work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the AI tool, spend at least 5-10 minutes reviewing the resume the AI generated. It will be worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Keyword Spamming<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of outsourcing resumes to AI, don&#8217;t fall for the keyword spam trap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many AI engines out there try to simplify the process by cramming as many keywords into a resume that match the job description.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This won&#8217;t go over too well with recruiters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use keywords, yes. Spam them, no.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Not Optimizing For Applicant Tracking Systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s the thing about AI-generated resumes&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many AI tools do not know how to properly format a resume that an applicant tracking system can read.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things like tables, boxes, and graphics can confuse the AI-filter and actually hurt the chances of getting an interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stick to basic formatting when using AI to tailor a resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Accepting Inaccurate Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It happens. Sometimes AI makes up stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it be through misunderstanding the input or trying to suggest experience that doesn&#8217;t exist&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything on a resume should be fact-checkable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If proof can&#8217;t be provided for a claim, do not include it on the resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Neglecting To Use AI For Every Part Of The Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever heard the term, &#8220;Don&#8217;t put all your eggs in one basket?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When using AI to improve a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/collegemarker.com\/blogs\/what-to-do-after-my-tenth-grade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">job search<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it shouldn&#8217;t just be used for one aspect of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, the resume is important.
