Abstract

Applicants often use generalized bullet points in resumes, which do not emphasize the skills and accomplishments relevant to a particular job listing, and thus reduce their chances of being selected by recruiters and Applicant Tracking Systems. This paper presents a way of automation that can be used to complement the existing resume point bullets by adding job-specific keywords, quantifiable measurements, and action verbs specific to the software-engineering job. We train and compare three large language models: Llama 3 8B, Llama 2 7B, and Gemma 7B using effective training regimes. The quality and relevance are estimated through a complex set of measures (ROUGE, BLEU, METEOR). Therefore, this work will provide job applicants with effective tools to build stronger, personalized resumes that are more in line with job requirements.
