Artificial intelligence (AI) can help you work more efficiently throughout your job search—but it should never replace your own voice, experiences, and critical thinking.
Use AI to:
- Brainstorm résumé bullet points
- Generate cover letter drafts
- Practice interview questions
- Research employers
- Prepare networking messages
- Identify transferable skills
- Tailor application materials to job descriptions
Best Practices
- Always review and personalize AI-generated content.
- Verify all information for accuracy.
- Never submit AI-generated materials without editing.
- Ensure your documents reflect your authentic experiences and accomplishments.
AI should enhance your job search—not replace your unique story.
