About this chapter

A practical tip for when you can't think what to put in your bullets: use an AI assistant as a source of inspiration, not as a ghostwriter.

Describe your role at a high level without confidential details and ask what responsibilities someone in that job might have.
Use the output to jog your memory about things you did but forgot, and then write the bullets yourself in your own words.
One example: a colleague had forgotten to mention data formatting and quality checking, and adding it made his CV stronger.
You can also ask it to challenge or expand your bullets, but you take responsibility for what ends up in the CV, and a lot of what it says will be inaccurate.
Never paste anything confidential.
