Free Lesson 2

Write a Résumé Summary with AI

Your résumé summary is the first thing an employer reads. In this quick lesson you will use AI to turn your experience into three clear, confident sentences that open your résumé with energy.

The Formula

Role, Task, Details, Format

Great prompts tell AI four things: who to be (Role), what to do (Task), the facts that make it fit you (Details), and how the answer should look (Format).

Weak prompt

Write my résumé summary.

AI does not know your experience, strengths, or goals, so it has to guess.

Strong prompt

You are a friendly career coach. Write a 3 sentence résumé summary for me. I have [number] years of experience in [your field or jobs], I am good at [2 or 3 strengths], and I want a job as [the job you want]. Use clear, confident, everyday language.

Role, Task, Details, and Format give AI everything it needs.
