Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Generative AI (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini etc, are powerful tools that can help you in various stages of your job application. Read below about how these may support you in better demonstrating your skills, experience, and potential.
It is important you use AI appropriately and that you do not use it to provide misleading or false information at any stage of the application and recruitment process.
Acceptable use of AI and examples of how you might use AI to support your application:
You can use AI to help you structure your ideas but ensure your application form is a true reflection of your personal experience and skills.
For Example:
Ask AI to provide examples of how to describe leadership experiences, then personalise these examples to your own.
Use AI to help you list relevant skills for the job and then reflect about how you're demonstrated these skills in past experiences.
For behaviour statements, create a shortlist of relevant personal examples and write down what you would say. Then ask AI to help you bring the story to life more articulately using the STAR format.
