Getting a dream job is not easy if you are not part of the right ecosystem. An ecosystem that gives you the right connection, the right skills, the right environment and the right credentials. All these things come to a select few and ultimately those people are able to get the right or the dream job for themselves.
If you are still confused what I’m talking about, chances are you are not part of that ecosystem and the chances of you getting your dream job in the world of AI are very low. Many people don’t have the right network or the connections to get them close to their dream job. Their only way to find their dream job is via their resume and if your resume doesn’t speak more words than what it is, your dream job will always remain a dream. To solve for this problem, we will look at 5 things that can help you get close to your dream job
- Define your achievements & milestones.
- Mention solid references with designations.
- Mention AI Skills
- List your Projects
- Your learning curve
1) Define Your achievements & milestones
No employer wants to hear what you did at your past jobs. They want to listen to your achievements. Milestones like Projects completion, launch, success metrics and industry accreditations mean a lot in your resume. If you were awarded something in your organization, mentioning that will have a great impact.
2) Mention solid references with designations.
When it comes to proving credibility, mentioning top shot people of your industry as references can be of big help. You can even mention their testimonials in your resume to boast your rank further. Please note, the references have to be informed in prior that you are mentioning their names in your references and they might get a call to vouch for you. When a recruiter calls a reference and they see that the person that they are about to interview, is vouched by industry leaders, it’s a big green signal for them.
3) Mention AI Skills
You must have seen computer skills in resume. These skills let the recruiter know your proficiency with computers. Mentioning these skills in your resume came into existence when computers started making their way in organizations. Same way, you need to mention your AI skills. This will let the recruiter know your proficiency in AI and how super charged your productivity is with AI by your side.
You can break up your A.I Skills in the following categories:
- Research :
- Prompt Proficiency :
- Image Generation :
- Chat Generative Utility :
- Code Generation :
- Data Analytics :
4) List your Projects
Listing your projects helps the hiring manager to see how good you are at leading or being part of projects. Projects are separate from your regular day to day job and give hiring manager an idea of the scale at which you can work. With projects, you can greatly influence the hiring manager and make them your favorite hire. You can follow the below project template :
Project Name :
Project Duration :
My Responsibility :
Key Points:
My achievements :
5) Your learning curve
Every recruiter focuses on learning and development. If you showcase the things/skills/courses you’ve taken up recently, that will be a good plus for a recruiter to know that you as a candidate are enhancing your skills. This means that if you join their organization, you don’t bring work experience but also knowledge that can be beneficial for the company as well.
