Hey Recruiters πŸ‘‹, I Broke the Resume. Then I Rebuilt It with AI.

Let's talk about the resume.

You've seen a million of them. I've sent a million of them. It usually starts with a document that looks something like this:

A beautiful piece of paper, right? πŸ“œ It's packed with keywords, meticulously formatted, and tells you one thing with absolute certainty: I know how to use Google Docs.

But then comes the real fun... the ancient ritual of "The Interview."

It's a heroic journey. Our brave candidate, Sir Stickman, battles mythical beasts on his noble quest for employment.

You know the story. He fights the Dragon of Unforeseen Traffic πŸš—πŸ’₯, narrowly dodges the Meteor of Spilled Coffee β˜•, and vanquishes the Goblin of Crippling Self-Doubt. All of this, just to sit in a chair and try to convince you he's the perfect fit based on a 30-minute conversation.

It's... a bit broken, isn't it?

This is me. Right here.

This is my natural habitat. This is where I'm not fighting traffic; I'm building solutions. I'm not trying to remember the "5 greatest weaknesses" I rehearsed; I'm solving actual problems. This is what I love to do.

So I asked myself: Why am I trying to tell you I'm a skilled AI/Prompt Engineer on a piece of paper, when I can just show you?

I decided to do the resume thing my own way.

I built a resume that is the skill demonstration. A resume designed for the people I want to work with. A resume that proves my prowess before you even read the first line.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... my resume.

Game over. Mic drop. 🎀

If you're looking for someone who fits neatly into a Word template, I might not be your guy.

But if you're looking for someone who sees a broken process and builds a better one... let's talk.

For the lazy ones:

It doesn't work well on mobile design wise, which is very important.

Also honestly it doesn't really show anything about being a skilled AI prompter as it's just a normal website. The average recruiter wouldn't be able to tell it was made by AI, or that you would know how to prompt an answer, and then u derstand how to work with that code after.

You are missing the point. A normal website actually could have that integration put in. My point is this does not show how you're a skilled AI prompter because it isn't obvious you used AI at all. It doesn't mention it. It may have been made with it, but how is anyone supposed to know?
