I’ve been working with ChatGPT by OpenAI and figuring out ways to create with it. It’s a good tool that can be used to assist in getting ideas on paper.

Over the last few months, I’ve run a series of questions or statement through the interface. I’ve included screenshots below to show what I was testing.

Firstly, I started with an easy question. How can I improve my resume? It’s straightforward with its intent.

Secondly, I honed in on an area that has caused me challenges in the past. Show me an example of how I should write out my accomplishments.

Thirdly, I dug into other ways to present accomplishments on my resume. My question was, “What other ways can I write out my accomplishments?”

3 Ways To Create

Firstly, present a concept, idea, or question to ChatGPT. I tend to removed words that might confuse the artificial intelligence (AI) engine. Consider using the KIS principle, keep it simple.

I have little doubt that the AI can parse my intent. However, it’s still building a learning pattern based on my interactions. So, paring down the query is a good starting point.

Secondly, look for keywords in the response that “click” with you. For me, “accomplishments” hit home, as I noted earlier. You may not find a keyword that just lands the first time. You can refine the answer or as the screen shows, regenerate it.

Thirdly, go down the rabbit hole. Consider rephrasing your question or statement. Adjusting words will help the AI search the catalog for alternate ways to phrase similar information.

For example, I could adjust “What other ways can I write out my accomplishments?”

How can I present my accomplishment for greater impact?

What sequence should I use when listing accomplishments?

Where should my accomplishments be listed in my resume?

How much detail should my accomplishments have?

ChatGPT’s response could surprise you. As well, you can ask it to rewrite sections of your text to make it flow better. That’s for another post! Happy writing!
