If you're anything like me, resumes feel like a one-dimensional way to showcase years of work and growth.
They're packed with bullet points, job titles, and skills—but do they really tell your story?
Recently, I came across a tool called NotebookLM that transformed my resume into a conversational summary, and it made me rethink how we present ourselves professionally.
Let me explain. I uploaded my resume to a tool called NotebookLM, and it did something remarkable:
It turned my experience into a dialogue. It didn't just list out my roles and responsibilities; it narrated my journey.
It highlighted my years as a Software Engineer, my transition into Product Management, and my passion for solving problems through technology—all in a way that felt personal and engaging.
This conversational format felt alive. It allowed my personality to shine through and gave recruiters a sense of who I am beyond the job titles.
More importantly, it emphasized the why behind my journey, not just the what.
Now, I’m thinking of bringing this idea into my podcast.
Imagine discussing professional growth not as a series of bullet points but as a story—a back-and-forth exploration of challenges, decisions, and achievements.
It’s relatable, it’s human, and it might just inspire others to rethink how they present themselves.
What do you think? Could this approach change how we connect with recruiters, colleagues, and even ourselves?
