Your resume is a living document—a powerful summary of your skills, experience, and the value you bring to a future employer. It’s more than a list of jobs; it’s your personal branding tool that tells the story of your career and demonstrates how you can solve problems for an organization.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed how resumes are created, optimized, and tailored for specific roles. But using AI effectively requires more than just generating text. You need to understand the right and wrong ways to leverage AI so your resume remains authentic, accurate, and impactful.
This session will guide you through the most up-to-date strategies for creating a winning resume and show you how to combine AI assistance with your own critical thinking to simplify the process without losing your unique voice.

- Understanding Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), how ATS works and what you need to do to ensure your resume gets noticed
