The Resume Assistant is a conversational AI tool that allows job applicants to have a conversation with hiring managers before applying, injecting creativity into the traditional application process. This approach enables the hiring team to ask questions and get to know the applicant's qualifications, culture fit, and personality in a more engaging way. The tool uses voice UI design and conversation design principles to facilitate this dialogue, making it an innovative solution for job seekers. By building a simple general assistant using conversational AI, applicants can create a unique and impactful application that stands out from traditional resumes and cover letters.
