With technology like artificial intelligence emerging into the spotlight in 2023, making your resume stand out is becoming more difficult. In a 2023 survey, 78% of job seekers who used AI during their search landed an interview, and 59% got hired. As these advances creep into our office and job search, how important is your resume? That’s what Uriel in Pennsylvania wants answers to these questions three from the WorkInSports Podcast:

“Hi Brian, I am starting my junior year of college, studying sports management, and I feel my resume really needs some help. Three-part question: Are resumes still relevant, or has technology surpassed the need? Can I use Ai to generate my resume? And finally, what are some of the best practices to make sure I nail this?”

Resume Advice for the Sports Industry

The resume is still relevant, probably more than before. Nearly every job you apply for requires you to submit a resume, and most companies use an applicant tracking system to weed out resumes that don’t fit what the organization is looking for and ensure that only the most qualified candidates get their materials seen by a hiring manager. This is why you must put effort into crafting a resume tailored to the job you are applying for to ensure your application isn’t cast aside.

According to iHire's 2023 State of Online Recruiting Report, only 2.8% of job seekers used artificial intelligence during their search. Using AI to help polish your resume is acceptable, but you must be wary of letting a machine write it entirely. AI programs are best utilized as a starting point, not a final product.

As for the best practices, here are a few tips:

  • Make multiple versions of your resume
  • Prioritize data and accomplishments over tasks
  • Highlight the skills you bring to the table
