Out-of-Scope Use

• General-purpose text generation: Not optimized for non-career related content
• Academic writing: Not specifically trained for research papers or academic content
• Creative writing: Limited capability for fiction, poetry, or creative storytelling
• Technical documentation: Not specialized for software documentation or technical manuals
• Legal or medical advice: Should not be used for professional legal or medical guidance

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Potential Biases:

• May reflect biases present in traditional resume writing and hiring practices
• Could favor certain industries or job roles over others based on training data
• May inadvertently perpetuate gender, racial, or cultural biases in professional advice

Technical Limitations:

• Context window limited to 512 tokens for optimal performance
• Performance may degrade for highly specialized or niche career fields
• Generated content requires human review and editing
• May not reflect the most current job market trends or industry changes

Risk Considerations:

• Users should not rely solely on AI-generated content for critical job applications
• Output quality may vary depending on input specificity and context
• May not account for individual circumstances or local job market conditions

Recommendations

• Always review and edit AI-generated content before using in actual applications
• Combine with human expertise such as career counselors or industry professionals
• Verify information against current industry standards and job requirements
• Consider cultural context and local job market practices
• Use as a starting point rather than a final solution for career documents

How to Get Started with the Model

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM import torch

Load the model and tokenizer tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("kiritps/resume-ai-assistant") model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained( "kiritps/resume-ai-assistant", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto" )

Example usage prompt = "Human: How do I describe my leadership experience on my resume?\n\nAssistant:" inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")

Generate response with torch.no_grad(): outputs = model.generate( **inputs, max_new_tokens=150, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True, pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id )

response = tokenizer.decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True) print(response[len(prompt):])
