On Thursday evening, June 19th, the IEEE FWCS PACE group presented the “Using AI For Job Hunting” presentation. In this presentation, the ways that engineers search for their next jobs were explored. Both the use of the online LinkedIn tool and a personal resume were determined to be the most effect ways for an engineer to communicate their skills to a future employer. During the presentation the Claude AI tool was used to use an engineer’s work history to create detailed work summary’s for each position that they had held. The tool was then used to create a LinkedIn About section for the engineer that summarized their career in a way that would capture what they had worked on.

When discussing the best way to use AI to improve a resume several different points were made. A new resume for an engineer who didn’t have a resume was created during the presentation. Then a potential job that the engineer might apply for was located. The job description was scanned to determine the key words that had been used to describe the position. These key words were then made a part of the engineer’s resume in order to improve his chances of being invited to interview for the role.
