Many of the best talents are available on the job market due to the recent wave of layoffs in the technology industry. The good news is that employers are rehiring excellent applicants; according to a recent poll, 79% of people fired from tech business jobs found new employment within three months of their hunt. This is encouraging news for people looking for their next post-layoff job, but what else can you do to strengthen your job hunt and gain an advantage over the competition?
ChatGPT is useful. The tool, an AI-powered chatbot with natural language processing, is today’s tech star. Its simple interface has allowed millions of people to have a lot of fun with it; ask a question or give instructions, and it will instantly produce amusing stories, poems, and limericks.
Additionally, ChatGPT is capable of a lot more. In addition to writing code and explaining hard concepts and mathematical challenges, it can assist you with your resume and cover letters.
5 Ways to Use ChatGPT for your Job Hunt
- Customize your Cover Letter
Customizing your CV and cover letter for each job you apply for is most important. But since the goal of doing this is to ensure you include as many keywords from the job description as possible, it might take a lot of effort and careful attention to detail them. However, you can add relevant personal information and experience to the cover letter you receive when you command ChatGPT to “write a cover letter for a Data Analyst job.”
- Personalize your CV
One of the time-consuming parts of job searching is writing a new CV for each position you apply for. Ask ChatGPT to “personalize my resume for this (job title) role at (company name)” with your existing CV on hand in the prompt box. Additionally, paste in the job posting and your current CV.
- Generate Keywords
If you’d rather create your CV, you may find the appropriate keywords to include by using ChatGPT. Then, ask the chatbot to provide the top three to five responsibilities by pasting the job description into the chat box. This offers valuable keywords for your resume.
- Explain Complex Terms
The chatbot can also be used for other job-related tasks. For example, if you need assistance understanding the terminology that has appeared in the job description or requirements, ChatGPT can be a great tool. Just ask it to clarify a subject or piece of technical jargon, and it will provide you with a brief, clear explanation that will be very helpful.
- Interview Questions
Here, ChatGPT can assist in two different ways: either you can ask it to suggest interview questions for a particular job title or job area, or you can ask it to come up with questions to ask at the end of the process. For example, you may ask for the most typical interview questions or request advice based on the job description, which you can paste to provide context.
