Cisco? Oh, the vegetable oil?

I actually asked my locally running LLM(s) to rework my resume and specifically to add in any common skills or tools for the roles that I didn’t have listed (8 years as a generalist you touch a LOT of stuff, and I hadn’t remembered quite a few of them), and removed any that weren’t applicable.
I’ve been getting a decent number of interviews (3 this week, 2 last).
One would hope a network engineer knows how to configure routers, but if you just say Cisco, the AI won’t give it as much weight as when you say both
Honestly this isn’t just an AI issue, this is also a recruiter issue. The hiring manager gives a role description and a list of skills or other keywords for the posting, but the recruiter doesn’t know what half of them are. An actual human may not know that “Cisco” + “network engineer” = configured routers. Hell, I’ve had people ask me if Cisco (who I actually did work for, but not as a network engineer) is the food company (Sysco).

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a good place to figure out how to run LLM’s locally? Seems safer than entering personal data onto a server somewhere

As a start, you could take a look at Ollama, which seems to be available in many package managers if you use one. I’ve done some experimenting with mistral-nemo, but you should pick a model size appropriate to your hardware and use case. I believe there are GUIs and extensions for Ollama, but as someone with a low interest in LLMs, I’ve only used the bare bones features through my terminal, and I haven’t used it for any projects or tasks.
You definitely shouldn’t trust it to teach you anything (I’ve seen some highly concerning errors in my tests), but it might be useful to you if you can verify the outputs.
Also check out the PrivacyGuides page on LLMs.

Thank you for the information! Yeah, I don’t really trust them. They feel flimsy and unreliable for most things. Sometimes, they have their moments where they seem actually helpful.
I hate their usage overall, I just figure if I need it to help me land a job at some point, I should probably just have some extra options ready.
