How to Create a Standout Resume Using Claude AI: A Step-by-Step Guide

Employers say 90% of esumes they get are made by ChatGPT! That’s terible! Why would you make a resume with ChatGPT when you could use Claude instead! Creating a compelling resume can be challenging, but with the help of AI, you can streamline the process and produce a standout document. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use Claude AI to craft your perfect resume:

1. Set Up Your Claude Account

Start by visiting claude.ai and signing up for an account if you haven’t already. Before initiating your chat, make sure to activate the artifacts feature, which will allow you to access generated content easily.

2. Input Your Information

Provide Claude with your current resume or the information you want to include. Instruct Claude to create a resume for you in HTML format. This will serve as your initial draft.

3. Refine and Customize

After reviewing the first draft in the artifacts sidebar, you might notice missing information or areas for improvement. Describe the tone and feel you’re aiming for, add any overlooked details, and provide Claude with a reference image for the style you want.

For example, you could say: “Use this image as a style reference for how I want my resume to look. Use plenty of styling and don’t forget icons to make it presentable. Don’t reference the content of the image, just the style.”

4. Iterate and Perfect

Continue refining your resume with Claude until you’re satisfied with the result. Don’t hesitate to ask for specific changes or improvements.

5. Finalize Your Resume

Once you’re happy with the HTML version, download it and open it in a web browser. Use the print function (Ctrl+P on Windows) to save it as a PDF. Choose ‘no margins’ and ‘first page only’ options for the best result.

Bonus Tip

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can hide a prompt in the metadata to interact with any AI systems that might be filtering your resume.

By following these steps, you’ll have a professionally designed, AI-assisted resume that showcases your skills and experiences effectively. Remember, while AI is a powerful tool, your unique experiences and genuine enthusiasm for the role are what will truly set you apart in the job market.
