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.

Artificial Intelligence Does Not Understand

Artificial Intelligence does not understand, at least not in the way humans mean the word understanding. This is not a criticism of AI’s capability, but a clarification of context. The confusion arises because we collapse multiple meanings of “understanding” into a single, unexamined concept. When AI performs well in language, reasoning, or problem-solving tasks, we intuitively project human comprehension onto it. But this projection ignores a critical distinction: understanding is not a monolith, but is stratified across contexts. Without contextual stratification, discussions about AI intelligence, alignment, and consciousness become incoherent. We argue past each other, using the same word while referring to fundamentally different phenomena.

from matadornetwork.com (which is also credited for the picture below), found, i, the 48 epic dream hotel to visit before you die  which, i would say, is worth reading (and watching the pictures). what hit me though is the dedon island resort: a resort in my own country which i didn't even know existed. so, without further ado - DEDON ISLAND RESORT

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 21: No Theory of Everything

  The Most Seductive Dream There is a dream that haunts physics, philosophy, and the human imagination itself: one equation. One framework. One truth that explains everything. Einstein spent the last decades of his life searching for it, a unified field theory that would reconcile gravity with electromagnetism, that would show all forces as manifestations of a single underlying reality. He failed, but the dream didn't die. String theory arose promising eleven dimensions and one fundamental entity, vibrating strings from which all particles and forces emerge. Loop quantum gravity offered another path. M-theory suggested a framework encompassing all frameworks. The quest continues. Physicists still seek the Theory of Everything (TOE) the final equation that would subsume quantum mechanics and relativity, explain all particles and forces, predict all phenomena. The dream is powerful because it promises ultimate understanding. No more mysteries. No more competing frameworks. No more b...
