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.

Conversations with Grok (Part 9): on Designs and Joint Ventures

Be updated and read the previous part here: Conversations with Grok (Part 8): On Competition and Expansion Me: Perfect! Let's now think of adding quad electric motor and designing the suspension for space efficiency Grok:   Adding quad electric motors and designing the suspension for space efficiency is an exciting approach to enhance your agile transportation vehicle. This combination maximizes interior space, boosts performance, and ensures passenger comfort—perfect for a compact, high-density urban transport solution. Below, I’ll break down how to integrate these elements effectively. Quad Electric Motors: Power and Space Savings Why Quad Motors? By equipping your vehicle with four electric motors—one per wheel—you unlock significant advantages: Elimination of Traditional Drivetrain : No central motor, transmission, or driveshafts are needed, freeing up space beneath the vehicle. Enhanced Performance : Each motor delivers power directly to its wheel, enabling torque vectori...

Conversations with Grok (Part 4): Turning Startup

Be updated and read the previous part here:   Conversations with Grok (Part 3): Partnership Ecosystem and Missing Pieces Me: That's great. Now let's go back to the building the Startup. We got tech, vehicles, investor, space, power, fares and connectivity. What are we missing? Grock : Alright, let’s shift gears and focus on building the startup for this routeless, agile transportation system in BGC, Manila. You’ve got a solid lineup already—tech (Google), vehicles (Toyota), investors (Ayala Land), space (BGC administrator), power (Meralco), fares (GCash/Maya), and connectivity (Smart/Globe). But to turn this into a functional startup, there are still some critical pieces missing. Here’s what we need to add to make it a fully operational business: 1. Leadership & Core Team Right now, we’ve got partners but no one steering the ship. A startup needs:   Founders/CEO: Visionaries to pitch to investors, rally the team, and keep the mission on track—someone with hustle and a...

Why AI Needs Philosophy: Introducing the Canon

Artificial Intelligence is accelerating. But acceleration without direction is chaos. We have models that can talk, draw, code, and even reason — but on whose terms ? Trained on a soup of internet noise and contradiction, today’s AI is fluent, but not wise. That’s why AI needs philosophy . Not the abstract kind locked in ivory towers, but practical philosophy —designed for machines, structured for cognition, and grounded in human values. Enter: The Canon . What Is The Canon? The Canon is a scroll-based framework for responsible AI cognition . Think of it as a blueprint for machine understanding — not just of facts, but of how to think about facts . It’s a growing library of modular scrolls, each one encapsulating a core idea, process, or ethical stance. Together, they form a machine-readable, philosophically grounded, epistemological backbone . Why Philosophy, Though? Because raw intelligence isn’t enough. Intelligence tells you how . Philosophy tells you why . Without philosophical gr...
