Use of AI when writing Job Applications
While AI tools can be helpful in generating ideas and drafting initial versions, they should never be the sole source for writing your job application. AI cannot truly understand the specific job you’re applying for or what makes you a good fit. Therefore, it’s crucial to personalise any AI generated content to accurately reflect your skills, experiences and aspirations. Relying solely on AI to write your application may result in generic, impersonal and potentially inaccurate content. Always review and refine any AI-generated text to ensure if effectively communicates your experience, skills, accomplishments, and aspirations and demonstrates your suitability for the position.
