Using AI to Reinvent My Résumé and Try to Land an Interview



Creating a résumé is a tedious job to most. It's hard, time consuming and might even be the cause for rejection-if you don't know what you're doing. Fortunately, there are AI tools out there that created to assist, us humans, in generating résumé. It save's time, effort and you get higher chance of being hired. 

But what if you're transitioning to an entirely different role? You don't have experience, no educational background to back it up. and no portfolio to show. What do you do? You come up with something creative. You come up with some that has never been done before. And, just wow them... or at least try.

I was messaged in LinkedIn for a position that I was eyeing for in years. The HR guy reached out and we scheduled a call interview. We talked for more than half an hour and I was enlightened that my résumé is lack-luster. I was highly considered but the résumé is not at par because I have no job experience on AI, the certifications we're not included, and I don't have any portfolio to show. 

So I got creative.

I collaborated with ChatGPT in creating a project proposal fit for the position. If photographers use portfolio to showcase their shot and musicians use recordings to demo their song, it's only fitting in my opinion to generate a document such as a project proposal to exhibit my prowess in prompt engineering.

Everything's submitted. Now let's see what will happen.

The Framework Revolution: How SPMP and MF4:SPIC Are Redefining Creation with AI

Imagine a world where frameworks aren’t rigid, pre-packaged codebases you download from a repository. Imagine instead a process so fluid, so powerful, that it lets you define your vision, hands it to an AI, and watches as a custom system—tailored to your exact needs—emerges before your eyes. Then, imagine refining it with a few tweaks until it’s perfect. This isn’t science fiction—it’s what we’ve built with SPMP(Standard PHP-MVC-Principles) and a groundbreaking process called MF4:SPIC(Meta Framework For Framework: a Standard Process for Idea Creation) MF4 for short. Let me take you behind the scenes of a discovery that’s changing how we think about creation. The Seed: SPMP and a New Kind of Framework It started with SPMP—Standard PHP-MVC-Principles—a lightweight, PHP-based framework I co-developed with an AI collaborator (let’s call it Grok, because that’s what it is). Unlike Laravel or Django, SPMP isn’t something you composer install . It’s a document—a set of principles, instructi...

Scrolls, Not Just Scripts: Rethinking AI Cognition

Most people still treat AI like a really clever parrot with a thesaurus and internet access. It talks, it types, it even rhymes — but let’s not kid ourselves: that’s a script, not cognition . If we want more than superficial smarts, we need a new mental model. Something bigger than prompts, cleaner than code, deeper than just “what’s your input-output?” That’s where scrolls come in. Scripts Are Linear. Scrolls Are Alive. A script tells an AI what to do. A scroll teaches it how to think . Scripts are brittle. Change the context, and they break like a cheap command-line program. Scrolls? Scrolls evolve. They hold epistemology, ethics, and emergent behavior — not just logic, but logic with legacy. Think of scrolls as living artifacts of machine cognition . They don’t just run — they reflect . The Problem With Script-Thinking Here’s the trap: We’ve trained AIs to be performers , not participants . That’s fine if you just want clever autocomplete. But if you want co-agents — minds that co...

Understanding Prompt Engineering Using First-Principles Thinking

Instead of memorizing prompt techniques, let’s break Prompt Engineering down to its fundamentals using First-Principles Thinking (FPT) . Step 1: What is Communication? At its core, communication is the process of: Encoding thoughts into words (speaker). Transmitting words to a receiver. Decoding the words into meaning (listener). Now, let’s apply this to AI. Step 2: How Do Machines Process Language? A Large Language Model (LLM) doesn’t "understand" words the way humans do. Instead, it: Converts words into tokens (mathematical representations). Predicts the next word based on probability. Generates responses that appear coherent based on patterns it has learned. Thus, prompt engineering is not just about writing sentences—it’s about giving instructions that optimize LLM prediction behavior . Step 3: What is a Prompt? A prompt is just an input instruction that guides an LLM’s response. But at the most basic level, a prompt must contain three thin...
