ChatGPT can help you understand job ads better. Here’s what you can do: If you don’t have a resume and cover letter yet, you can ask ChatGPT to make one for you. Just give it the right information (don’t provide personal information like your address or phone number). But remember, what it makes is just a guide. You should edit it to make it your own. Always check any document. If you already have a resume and cover letter, you can ask ChatGPT to check it and make it better. To make your resume and cover letter better, use what you learned from #1. Use the words and phrases that ChatGPT suggested. Most importantly, use your own words to show who you are. ChatGPT can help you find important information about the company. For example, instead of reading the whole company website, you can ask ChatGPT: “If I’m applying as a ____ in Organization X, what are the most important things I should know about the company?” It can give you some key points. It can also give you information about the company’s mission and values which you can talk about in the interview. A great way to practise for your job interview is to ask ChatGPT for a list of interview questions based on the position you’re applying for. You can also ask it to do a practice interview with you. To do this, you can type your answers or use Voice Control for ChatGPT, a Chrome extension. Take it a step further by asking the tool to correct or improve your responses. Add a special touch by sending a thank you email after your interview. As always, you can ask ChatGPT to make one for you, but don’t forget to personalize it. To personalize your email, mention some details about the interview. For example, you can say “Thank you for talking to me today. I really liked how you made me feel comfortable and asked insightful questions. I enjoyed our talk.” Be sincere. Reiterate your interest in the position. This will make you stand out.
