r/lumo

When can I use Lumo to peruse my emails?

After about 17 years at my current role it's time to dust off the ol' resume and apply for some positions.

I was able to use Lumo to massage my resume and craft some key talking points for my cover letter. While I spent some time getting them pretty close lumo was able to compare the job posting to what I had written, identify some opportunities, and help with some consistency and word tense conflicts I had missed in my many, many reviews. Even pointed out extra spaces and alignment issues that were one space off.

I don't have anyone else to reach out to for help, didn't want to post my details all over a forum somewhere and wait it out, nor put my details into one of the other AIs (being private was important).

I think the final versions came out really nice, checks all the boxes for the job posting, reads well, etc. I did take the recommendations and rewrote everything in my own words to avoid some of the obvious red flags of being AI generated. But still, so much better than I could have done alone in the amount of time I spent on it.

The posting went up a few days ago and I spent all my free time to apply yesterday. Hopefully in the sweet spot of being early enough to be thought about but not the first one out of the gate.

Fingers crossed and hopefully something will come of it.
