And because AI is a tool that is also used by recruiters, understanding how it works is an important job search skill. Here, we have listed five tips to help you get started.
1. Make a convincing case for yourself
Jobseekers tend to struggle with the same questions: what kind of skills do I actually have, and how do I communicate them in my job search efforts? When you describe your work experience and your skills to AI, it helps you identify your strengths and competences. It can also help you identify the types of skills that are typically required for specific jobs.2. Find jobs and employers
AI can search for vacancies and employers for you based on your skills and the types of work tasks and industries you express interest in. You also receive information on companies that might need your skills.
3. Clarify your CV and application
A major challenge in composing a CV and an application is that they often end up being too generic or vague. AI can help you clarify your text and make it more relevant. AI also detects keywords in job listings, helping you identify what you should highlight in your application. It also helps you compose the actual text.
4. Prepare for your interview
AI can help you prepare for your job interview and calm your nerves. You can use AI as your training partner and request it to prepare questions for the specific position you are interviewing for. This helps you practice your answers beforehand. You can also ask for feedback on your answers and suggestions for improving them.
