Resumes give a first impression to hiring managers who decide whether you are invited for a job interview. Therefore, it is important that your resume matches both the job requirements and the organization goals and culture. You get plenty examples on the internet if you search on google for good examples. In addition, there are many tools that can help building your resume. These tools will save you time on formatting and editing, present your skills in a unique way, and create a resume for every industry (Canva, n.d.).

However, in my opinion these resume formats are not improving job chances, because these templates are too general. Hiring managers would like to see why you are the perfect candidate compared to all other applicants for a specific job. When you use a template, your resume will look like all the other resumes and will not stand out. Furthermore, suggested words in tools are not always suitable in every industry so it is important to adjust word choice to the job and industry for which you are applying.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help writing a resume by using data and algorithms. Artificial Intelligence can look at your LinkedIn profile, previous jobs, and all other data you provide to suggest what to put on your resume. Moreover, Artificial Intelligence also studies other resumes in the industry and can make recommendations based on trends and industry norms. In this way, your resume is not only customized, but also job and industry specific. Furthermore, Artificial Intelligence searches for keywords and patterns that are essential to process in your resume to enthuse a hiring manager.

There are some online resume tools that are powered by Artificial Intelligence that use smart data sourcing and natural language. In addition, they provide services where you can upload your resume to grade it on applicant tracking systems compatibility, formatting, and sectioning (Skillroads, n.d.).

Designing your own shoes online at Nike or customizing your clothes is becoming more and more popular. The options online vary and customers are willing to pay more for customized products (Deloitte, 2015). Companies are investing in emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence to improve customers experience and create more customer awareness. Artificial Intelligence has been used in multiple ways to contribute to these goals.

First of all, Artificial Intelligence is used to give recommendations about the accurate size. For example, at the Tommy Hilfiger web shop customers are asked to answer several questions about their height, weight, belly shape, and fit preference. Hereby, web shops want to decline the current average of 40% purchase return (Byers, 2020). As a result, this will reduce unnecessary shipping costs and improve customer satisfaction.

Second, Artificial Intelligence can collect and analyze data that help fashion companies in predicting customers preferences (Shamir, 2018). Moreover, this data provides insight in trends and purchase patterns, and will help companies by estimating the desired inventory level of products. As a consequence,  Artificial Intelligence can improve the efficiency of sales.

Lastly, Artificial Intelligence is used to make the manufacturing process more efficient. Artificial Intelligence systems can spot faults and imperfections in fabrics. Furthermore, it can check whether the designed color matches the color of the produced textile (Schmelzer, 2019) . According to Capgemini, Artificial Intelligence make processes and operations more efficient so that retailers can save $340 billion annually by the year 2022.

There are many more possibilities with the emerging technologies of Artificial Intelligence. Applying the various options will help the fashion industry to better respond to changing customer demand. In this way, fashion becomes more intelligent and will increase customer satisfaction.

Do you agree that the Artificial Intelligence technologies are adding more and more value in the fashion industry? Or do you have a different opinion?
