The big idea
If a parent is between jobs or looking to switch, you might be the AI expert in the family. You can help them update their resume, tailor cover letters to specific jobs, and prep for interviews — all big skills they may not have.
Some examples
- 'Rewrite this resume to match this exact job description.'
- 'Generate 10 likely interview questions for this role.'
- 'Draft a cover letter under 250 words for this listing.'
- 'What keywords should be on this resume to pass an applicant tracking system?'
Try it!
If a parent is open to it, offer one hour of 'AI resume help.' Walk them through tailoring one application together.
