Many companies use AI-based Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to scan resumes. Make sure yours is:
Formatted cleanly with clear headers and consistent fonts
Submitted as a PDF or .docx, not images
Keyword-optimized based on the job description (e.g., “transformer models,” “GPT,” “LangChain,” “TensorFlow”)
Start your resume with a short, impactful summary. Mention your core AI expertise and key achievements.
Example:
AI Engineer with 5+ years of experience building NLP and computer vision models using Python, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. Led deployment of generative AI chatbot for e-commerce, improving customer engagement by 38%.
Use a dedicated skills section that showcases your technical tools, frameworks, and concepts.
Example:
Languages: Python, R, SQL, Julia
Frameworks: TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, Hugging Face Transformers
Tools: Jupyter, MLflow, Docker, Airflow
Concepts: LLM fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, prompt engineering, explainable AI (XAI)
Rather than listing duties, use quantifiable results and emphasize your impact.
Bad:
Built machine learning models for user segmentation.
Better:
Developed and deployed a clustering model that increased user targeting accuracy by 25%, driving a 12% increase in campaign conversion rates.
Recruiters want to see your hands-on experience, especially with open-source tools or generative AI applications.
