Problem

You only have one page's worth of space to tell your story on a resume. You want to make your work and projects sound as impactful as possible. There are two aspects to a resume: content and style. Content is the actual substance of your resume, your experience. Style is how you present and communicate your content. Even if you have good content, if your style is not good, no one will recognize how great your content really is. In my experience, most students struggle with their resume style. They do not know how to phrase their bullet points to sound impactful.

Solution

I'm built a resume bullet point generator that allows students to describe a work experience and then automatically generate resume bullet points from their description using GPT-3 Instruct and few-shot prompting.

The steps of generating are as follows.

1. Input your company and job title.
2. Describe what you did at your job.
3. Explain how you created impact.
4. List any tools or technologies you used.
5. List any important metrics that quantify your impact.
6. Hit generate. This is where the magic happends.

Below are screenshots of the app. I've had about 10 students use it (usually just kids who ask me to look at their resume). Cavi has generated over 150 bullet points for students. Students absolutely love it. Over the coming months I will start leading resume workshops for clubs on campus where I will introduce the students to Cavi.

This is the form you fill out to generate bullet points.

Various generated bullets.

I also designed a feedback system so I can collect data on the best/worst generated bullets. I can then fine-tune the model on the best bullets and increase the quality of the generated bullets. Additionally, I can train a resume bullet point classifier that can then evaluate uploaded resumes.

Giving feedback on a bullet point.

I plan on updating this article periodically as this project progresses.
