How to Use ChatGPT to Build the Perfect Resume
Whether you’re just starting your career, pivoting industries, or aiming for the C-suite, your resume needs to make a powerful first impression. Today, smart job seekers are turning to tools like ChatGPT to streamline the resume writing process—and it’s not just about saving time. It’s about getting it right. Here’s how to leverage ChatGPT to create a sharp, targeted, and ATS-optimized resume using easy-to-follow prompts and strategies, as outlined by expert Jafar Hajiyev. 1. Create Role-Specific Resumes Tailoring your resume to each job application is essential. Use ChatGPT to craft customized resumes by inputting your desired job title, key skills, and industry standards. Include relevant achievements and keywords to ensure alignment with what hiring managers and applicant tracking systems (ATS) are looking for. Prompt:“Create a resume tailored for [job_title] using my skills in [skills]. Align it with [industry] standards, emphasizing achievements in [project/role].” 2. Revamp Your Current Resume Already have a resume but it’s not getting the results you want? ChatGPT can upgrade your existing content by improving action verbs, restructuring bullet points for clarity, and enhancing overall ATS optimization. Prompt:“Improve this resume for [job_title]. Focus on clarity, strong verbs, ATS optimization, and highlight transferable skills: [paste resume content].” 3. Build a Resume from Scratch Starting from square one? No problem. Provide ChatGPT with your experience, education, skills, and certifications—and it can generate a polished, professional resume including a strong summary and action-driven bullets. Prompt:“Generate a professional resume for [job_title] using this experience: [list your background, education, and skills].”

Restaurant Recruitment That Works: Why Clients Return to DeVita & Hancock
Restaurant recruitment isn’t just about resumes—it’s about understanding people, operations, and culture. At DeVita & Hancock Hospitality, we don’t operate like the big-box firms that flood your inbox with irrelevant candidates. We take a different route—one rooted in relationships, precision, and on-the-ground knowledge of your brand. And it’s exactly why our clients come back. What Big Box Restaurant Recruitment Gets Wrong In the hospitality world, recruiting firms often promise faster results, cheaper pricing, or a broader candidate pool. But when you look behind the curtain, what you usually get is: Why? Because most of these firms prioritize volume over value. Their model is transactional, not relational. That might work in some industries—but in restaurant recruitment, where culture fit and urgency are critical, it falls short fast. Even QSR Magazine acknowledges that effective recruiting in hospitality takes far more than a job post and a spreadsheet of names. DeVita & Hancock: We’re not a Resume Factory At DeVita & Hancock, we’re proud to be different. We built this firm not as recruiters who learned hospitality—but as hospitality veterans who perfected recruiting. We know what doesn’t work—because we’ve lived it. Here’s what sets our restaurant recruitment apart: 1. We Fly Out to Meet You Before we ever start recruiting, we visit your operation. We walk the kitchen. We sit in the dining room. We talk to your managers and staff. There’s no shortcut to understanding your brand. And we won’t start a search until we’ve seen it in action. 2. We Listen More Than We Pitch
