Guide

Practical steps you can apply today.

Use these checks before you submit. Each one is written to survive ATS parsers and human skim-reading.

01

Be specific about AI work

"Used ChatGPT" is weak. Name the workflow.

  • Prompt versioning, eval sets, or RAG pipelines
  • Copilots inside a real stack (IDE, CRM, support)
  • What you automated vs what still needs humans
02

Show safeguards and judgment

Responsible use is a differentiator in 2026.

  • Review loops before customer-facing output
  • Privacy constraints and data handling
  • When you chose not to use AI
03

Connect AI to outcomes

Time saved, defect reduction, or coverage gains beat brand dropping.

  • Quantify speed or quality changes
  • Name stakeholders who adopted the workflow
  • Keep claims interview-testable
