Should I use AI to help me write my CV?

By Caroline Warwick

The honest answer is yes and no.

Where AI can help

  • Summarising wordy paragraphs
  • Matching your CV to a role
  • Bringing out the relevant parts of your background

Where you should not use it

“Using AI to build an entire CV is like asking AI to show up and take your driving test for you.”
  • Your CV needs to be authentic
  • Your CV needs to be congruent
  • Your CV needs to reflect you: your way of expressing yourself and your creativity

So yes, a CV written by AI might secure you a first interview. But will it secure you the role?

Key takeaway

When writing a CV, think about every stage of the interview process, not simply the first screen.
