I have updated my resume or CV to three different versions for different application types, and roles related to my skills I want to apply for.
I have been talking a lot to Google’s AI assistant Gemini my general-purpose wiring, editing and journalism resume as of late. This is what gave me the idea to update it and modernise it.
Gemini is also giving me various ideas on how to update orher aspects of my professional profile, including this site, and a cover letter that is one-page long (not the one and a half I have been using). I will upslope it onto this post and within the CV / cover letter subpage.
Below, I bring you three different resume (CV) versions from my main or general resume below:
They used this below general-purpose resume(CV) that I created by hand using some added visuals into it (embedded) and lots of hyperlink for the recruiter or company head to follow. I figured it will eliminate their need to go separately around my site (here) or scroll a lot within the portfolio section.
However, today most recruiters, outside small startup leaders and CEOs, use something called an application tracking system. this is a tool where AI gets to weed through lots of Resumes (CVs) by eliminating the ones with too much visual data (graphics) that can’t be easily read by an algorithm and looking for things like keywords within them.
I am not yet sure how exactly ATS functions besides the fact it is an AI-backed system that weeds resumes out from the ones tailor to the company’s needs looking for specific talent.
I look more into it and maybe update this post or add to it for those in a similar boat to me right now and looking for either full-time work, remote work, or freelance work. I am mostly looking for remote or hybrid right now as I enjoy to travel and work on my time.
Freelance would be great, albeit it is difficult to find companies to work with you outside the courbey where you reside. This is especially true with me being in Poland and not setting up Q działalność gospodarcza, or a Company in my name yet.
Other options exist like using the services of useme.com for foreign clients, hence why I haven’t done it. Poland will take more than 2300 PLN, or zloty, out every month from my funds or from simply me existing and having this company set up in my name after a year or so. This will mean that whether I have clients or not, I will be charged this amount by the Polish tax office or government if I choose to set a dzialalnosc gospodarcza up.
Other options besides setting a company up and also using sue me.com exist, but only for companies operating within Poland (like having a branch) or Polish as options by Polish companies. They include umowa o dzieło and umowa zlecenia. These contract options are in addition to the umowa o prace agreement, which is basically full-time work for a standard company within Poland.
I do not want to get too technical besides to say I have updated my resumes Ina did iron to the one I carried by hand and they are located above as well as wrogim the resume / CV sedition of this site.
I also have been working a bit with a Polish nonprofit company, called Serio. They used a recent graphic of mine for a LinkedIn post and I continued to revise the graphic with a current version below it. The idea for me is the concept of a space head or an all-encompassing AI.
I have also added a new blog post recently about AI agents going rogue, but also about them as a whole defined. I used it as a way to learn more (through research for the article) about agents and to keep my writing skills up tor ate or relevant. I published it on here and also available under my Medium profile.
I want to add that I have been using both ChatGPT and Gemini for different purpose and found one works better for some things and while the other for different things — depending on what you want done.
I found Gemini to be great for like script writing, long-form storytelling, fantasy writing and creating awesome generative AI visuals from prompts. Meanwhile, I have been suing ChatGPT more for facts or fact checking and for research or answers to complicated questions hard to find by a search engine.
I have not tried to mess around creating visual content using ChatGDP very much, but Grok is very limited in its free version to how much you can create per day and Gemini has been descent thus far for me. The recent AI agent article includes a piece that Gemini revised based on my existing graphics related to AI, which I previously produced.
Still my strengths and professional work is writing and editing — albeit art and visual design are my passions and I enjoy integrating all forms of content creation, or media, as a whole and am always open to different sorts of work or positions based on my skills I possess and creativity.
