Job hunting with AI

Tailor your resume to a posting, draft a cover letter in your own voice, and practice interviews, without ever inventing experience.

Key points

Paste the job ad and your real experience. Ask it to fit your resume to that job.
Ask it to play the interviewer and give you feedback.
Never let it invent jobs, degrees or skills. Leave out your SSN and full address.

AI can be a real help when you're looking for a job, from your resume to the interview.

Paste in the job posting and your real experience, then ask it to tailor your resume bullets to that posting.

Then ask for a short cover letter draft, and tell it to write in your own voice.

To practice, ask it to play the interviewer, ask you one question at a time, and give you feedback.

Never let it invent jobs, degrees, or skills you don't have. Employers check.

And leave out your Social Security number and your full address.

Read every line before you send it, so it's true and it sounds like you.
