Looking for work or updating your resume can sometimes feel tricky, but you do not have to do it alone.
AI tools can act like a friendly career helper on your phone or computer. They can help you practise for a job interview, organise your past experience, or build your confidence before applying for a job.
How to do it
Choose an AI platform that you like to use such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude. Follow the steps below to have a go.
Practise a job interview
- Type: “Act like an interviewer for a [job title, such as cleaner or shop assistant] position. Ask me three simple questions one at a time.”
- Type your answer to each question, then select send to get friendly feedback and tips.
Format your resume
- Type or paste your past work experience and skills into the message box.
- Type: “Organise this into a neat resume layout with clear headings” and select send.
Tip: Always check what AI comes up with carefully. It can make mistakes!
Draft a cover letter
- Type “Write a simple, friendly cover letter for a [job title] role.”
- Read through the letter, edit the words, and fill in your name and details before sending it to an employer.
Tip: When using AI for work tasks, make sure you do not share any private information like your phone number, home address, or bank details.
