Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

Resume

Is it a bad idea to use copilot to creat your resume? Given that it has visibility to all your work and accomplishments it would be much better or impactful to use Copilot instead of starting something from scratch?

Any upside to not using Copilot? Appreciate any feedback.

Yeah,‘it’s a good starting point, but it shouldn’t be your only tool. You still need to review and would be good to get feedback from peers too. All the best!

yes definitely use AI to assist in creating your resume. don’t listen to anyone that tells you otherwise. also insert the job posting as well and it will help tailor it to that specific role.

Hiring manager for 15 years here. I would suggest getting your info listed and use Copilot to help with adjustments.

I spend less than 2 min reading your resume.

  1. Resumes should be tailored to the role you are applying for. Your experience in previous roles should explain the impact you made. No reason to go back more than 5-7 years unless there is relevant experience for the role you are applying to.
  2. First 3 bullets are the most I read. Focus on impact, numbers, results etc.
  3. Take off the paragraphs! Nobody reads them. The summary less than 30 words. Keep bullets to one line.
  4. Format of your resume, ditch the flashy fonts, images etc. it just makes it look tacky!!
  5. 1 page is all you need unless you are in a Sr manager + role. One page relevant experience, 1 page initiatives projects.

Is this the only job you’ve had? A resume should showcase your career and body of work. Copilot likely only knows what you’ve done the last 12 months if that. If you’ve been here longer than that, then no. I would not use it.

What I would do is create your own resume and then ask an AI tool to review it as if it were a hiring manager for the role you’re applying for and ask it to provide relevant feedback on the resume you created.

@OP what you're asking is if you can use Comcast IP to construct a resume. For many reasons that is ill-advised.

  1. You don't want to risk leaking IP or even being accused of doing so.
  2. Were they even your accomplishments or were some (or in part) they AI?
  3. If you cannot describe your work yourself, you might get past a filter, but will you do any good for yourself in a future interview?

Don’t use AI. If you want your job to be taken by AI then by all means continue feeding it information and training it.

Hope this helps
