Using AI for Getting a Job
I'm concerned with the scaremongering I see all over social media about the dangers of students using Chat GPT. Especially criticism around job seekers using “Chat GPT’d” cvs, cover letters and interview answers. Imagine the same scepticism around using Google?
A.I. is transforming and disrupting the world. A.I. business BOTs are now “off the shelf” and small business early-adopters are saving valuable time and money using them. Economists predict A.I. will create more job opportunities than it destroys. A.I. is here and it’s smart to blend it with human effort by adopting a hybrid A.I./human approach.
A.I. can handle the tedious work of researching and preparing job applications, allowing you to focus on your personal touch.
There has never been a bigger breakthrough in our lifetime, the biggest rival being the internet.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google said “A.I. Is more profound than fire, electricity and the internet”. While I’m not sure how A.I. would work without the internet or electricity, he has a point.
It’s crazy that A.I. is still in its infancy, but it’s already disrupting everything and this includes the job market.
So you shouldn’t ask yourself whether or not to use Chat GPT ! Everyone will use it - just like the internet. A.I. is your new Google.
Think back to the early days of the internet. Some of us remember the annoying sounds of AOL dial-up and the randomness of search results before Google. Despite initial skepticism, the internet revolutionised our lives. I recall my husband’s first laptop, connected wirelessly to his office—something I doubted until I tested it by printing a dodgy picture…….The lesson? Innovations that seem dubious at first often become indispensable.
To quote Mark Cuban “wherever there is change, wherever there is uncertainty, there is opportunity”.
Make sure you embrace the opportunity and value of Chat GPT, save yourselves time, headache and get ahead by using it.
Focus on HOW you use it. Ask for public document links to verify your research and then check them out. Re hash your A.I. results, by asking Chat GPT to “un-Chat GPT” them for you, then add your personal human touches.
