Career-readiness is central to job placement and student development of a competitive résumé plays an essential role in that process. For that reason, institutions of higher education have introduced résumé AI tools to help prepare students for the workforce. AI résumé tools are software applications used to optimize the résumé. This study explores students (N = 88) perceived usefulness of résumé AI tools and how such tools contributed to student learning and teaching. Results demonstrate that a majority (70.5%) of students found AI résumé tools advantageous for improving their résumés. Future directions should explore how humans interpret and integrate the algorithmic feedback generated by résumé AI technology to effectively adapt their résumés.
Keywords: résumés, Artificial intelligence (AI), Business communication pedagogy, Communication Education, Résumé screening
