Resume Writing with AI? Career Expert Warns of Common Pitfalls

LOS ANGELES - June 26, 2025 - PRLog -- Artificial intelligence is being touted as an easy way to create your resume, but there are significant pitfalls, warns Mandy Fard, executive recruiter, and founder of Market-Connections Resume Writing Services.

"Tools such as ChatGPT can be useful in customizing a professionally written resume for a specific job application," said Fard. "One of the most common uses of AI is text summarization. Using an AI prompt, jobseekers can extract key skills and competencies from a job posting and use that information to tailor the qualifications section of a professionally written resume."

However, Fard cautions that relying solely on AI to create a resume from scratch can lead to problems, including:

• Generic Results: A prompt like "I'm a public relations specialist. Write five bullet points for my resume" may produce impressive-sounding results, but they are often vague and disconnected from your real experience.
• Fabricated Accomplishments: AI-generated resumes may include false claims or inflated achievements. While the formatting and grammar may appear flawless, the content can be misleading or unverifiable.
• Lack of Originality: When multiple candidates use the same tools, the resulting resumes can look and sound remarkably similar, hurting your chances of standing out.

"One of the biggest advantages of working with a professional resume writer is the collaboration that goes into uncovering authentic, personalized accomplishments," said Fard. "These unique insights not only help the resume stand out but also prepare the jobseeker to speak confidently during interviews."
