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.
