AI is an effective writing partner, capable of producing drafts, ideas, and outlines in seconds. However, those drafts often require refinement before they sound natural and engaging. Humanizing the output is a crucial step in turning AI-generated text into content that resonates with real readers.
By adjusting tone, improving flow, and refining phrasing, you can transform robotic drafts into authentic, reader-friendly writing. Tools like Quillbot’s Humanize AI make this process faster and easier.

The modern workplace is more diverse than ever before, with teams made up of people from a wide range of generations. From Baby Boomers, who prefer traditional communication methods, to digitally native Gen Z workers, the potential for miscommunication is high. In fact, a recent survey revealed that approximately 60% of employees struggle to understand the communication styles of other generations (ADP Research Institute).
Enter Boomer mode—Quillbot’s newest addition to the Paraphraser tool. Boomer mode seamlessly translates modern Gen Z lingo into clear, concise language that Baby Boomers can easily comprehend, helping to eliminate misunderstandings and foster collaboration across the generational divide.

A resume objective—which outlines the type of position or work environment you’re seeking—used to be the standard way to begin a resume. Within the last two decades, the standard resume format has changed, and employers now expect a resume summary at the top of your resume (just below your contact information).
A resume summary is an overview of your qualifications that are most relevant to the job you’re applying for. But this section can be challenging if you just graduated, you’re applying for your first job, or you’re changing careers.
In those situations, a resume objective can supplement the qualifications in your resume summary with evidence of your motivation. Resume objectives are not necessary when you have a lot of experience in your field.
If you do include an objective in your resume summary, make sure that the section also summarizes your skills, and customize the wording for each potential employer.

A functional resume is an alternative to a traditional resume for students, recent graduates, or job seekers who are new to a profession. Unlike the standard, chronological resume, which focuses on your employment history, functional resumes focus on your skills. That’s why they’re sometimes called “skills-based resumes.”
The functional resume format is sometimes useful for internships, entry-level positions, or career fairs. Even in these situations, though, the functional resume is increasingly rare. Approximately 75% of resumes are filtered out by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) before reaching human reviewers, and many recruiters prefer chronological formats because they make employment history easier to evaluate.
When at all possible, the safest choice is a traditional, reverse-chronological format like this resume template document. Or, start with one of Quillbot’s professional resume templates and customize each section based on your skills and career goals.
When the functional resume format is your best option, the tips and examples below will help your functional resume make the best possible impression. For proofreading and polishing resumes, cover letters, and other application materials, Quillbot’s free Grammar Checker has got you covered!
Key takeaways
A functional resume emphasizes your skills, strengths, and transferable abilities over a detailed work history, making it a smart choice for career changers, entry-level applicants, or anyone with employment gaps.
Instead of focusing on job titles and dates, this format organizes experience into skill-based categories that showcase what you can do and how you add value.
You’ll also learn when a functional resume works best, how to structure it effectively, and how to balance skills with enough work history to stay ATS-friendly and appealing to recruiters.

In a recent IBM video about AI ethics, Phaedra Boinodiris, a global leader in ethical AI and author of AI for the Rest of Us, said that three AI-related ethical issues keep her up at night:
Climate change
A lack of awareness that AI-based “decisions” impact people’s real lives
The misconception that AI is logically, morally, and ethically infallible
Generative AI has only been around for a few years, and it’s profoundly changed professional workflows, student writing, hiring practices, and eligibility for anything from mortgages to college admissions. The technology can also lead to adverse effects, such as culture and gender biases, privacy violations, and misinformation.
Using generative AI responsibly involves understanding the risks and AI ethics.

The holiday season is an ideal time to spread good wishes and cheer. Happy Holidays has become the most common holiday greeting because it refers to all of the cultural and religious holidays from late December to early January.
Everybody experiences the holiday season a little differently, but most people appreciate thoughtful “Happy Holidays” messages.
Whether you’re writing holiday cards, work emails, or social media posts, Quillbot’s free Paraphraser can help your “Happy Holidays” messages sparkle.
Happy holidays message exampleHappy Holidays to my friends and family near and far! May your holiday season be merry and bright and the new year full of comfort and joy.NoteA synonym for “Happy Holidays” is “Season’s Greetings.” Like “Happy Holidays,” it’s inclusive of Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s Eve/Day.
“Happy Holidays” is common in both written and face-to-face communications in December. “Season’s Greetings” usually only occurs in written messages (e.g., holiday cards).
“Season” has an apostrophe + “-s” in “Season’s Greetings” because it’s a possessive noun. Both words are also usually capitalized.
