- Walk me through how you've used OpenAI in your day-to-day work.
- What are the limits of Claude that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
- What's a project where you used Gemini hands-on?
- Walk me through how you've used Copilot in your day-to-day work.
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI agents, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project. This role expects it to be a running habit.
