AI is changing everything, even how you job hunt

Using AI to build a CV may have crossed your mind. Tools like ChatGPT, with over 200 million users globally, can offer immense support. While you shouldn’t rely on AI to write your entire CV, there are excellent ways it can enhance your job search.

Firstly, AI can help reduce the length of your CV. Struggling to stick to two pages? Let AI summarise sections without losing essential information. You can even specify word counts. Secondly, it can match your skills with the job description. Input both into an AI tool, and it highlights relevant skills, tailor-fitting your CV to the job.

Another advantage is spell-check. AI can proofread your CV for grammar and spelling errors you might miss, showcasing your attention to detail. It can also replace repeated words or clichés, keeping your CV fresh and engaging. Lastly, AI ensures your CV is optimised for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), filtering keywords that increase your chances of making it to a human recruiter. Also, it can highlight your key achievements to make your CV stand out.
