Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI) but no one is showing us practical ways that it can help you land a job. In this article, there will be no gatekeeping, just a few ideas on how to use the tech to help you land your dream job…. ethically of course.
#letsbefrank, there is a bit of a stigma around AI and more work needs to be done to perfect this tech. But the potential of AI to help us level up at work can’t be ignored.
AI is best used as a collaborator, not a replacement for your own smarts and skills. With that being said, let’s get into some actionable tips!
#1 Script your video resume with AI
Standing out is an important part of building a memorable resume. A great way to do that is through using video to your advantage and introducing yourself by showcasing your passion for the job in 4K. Stuck on what to say? Use AI to help with the script. Don’t know much about editing? Get AI to cut up the best bits and caption the video too!
#2 Feedback is your friend: Ask and you shall receive
Run your resume, cover letter and outreach emails through AI to get detailed feedback on not only the grammar and spelling but also the formatting and readability. Prompt it to take the perspective of a recruitment consultant or even CEO to get even more specific critiques.
#3 Interrogate yourself and get AI to ask the hard questions
So you’ve made it through to the interview and you want to prepare for the questions you may be asked on the spot. Why not feed the AI all the information you have about the position, company and department you are interviewing for and ask it to come up with some mock questions for you?
#4 Use AI tools to make your LinkedIn profile a recruiter magnet
When job-hunting, it’s important to ensure your LinkedIn profile is up to date, with your latest Positions, Skills and a Profile Photo – and don’t forget to turn on the “Open to Work” feature. Pro-tip: if you’re a LinkedIn Premium subscriber, you can use the AI profile writing assistant to help you craft that perfect headline and About section.
