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.

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...
