Example Task: Optimizing Your Job Applications with ChatGPT

1) Tailoring Your Resume to the Job Description

Every role has unique requirements, even within the same industry. ChatGPT can help you highlight the most relevant experiences in your resume to align with these specific needs. Hereā€™s how:

Paste your CV or attach it, then ask ChatGPT to ā€œAdapt the job achievements to the responsibilities listed in the job description below.ā€

2) Writing a Cover Letter

A compelling cover letter can make a significant difference. Use ChatGPT to draft a cover letter that addresses the job specifics and includes a bit of your personality.

ā€œCompose a 150-word cover letter using the job spec and my CV.ā€

Tip: You can use a similar approach to create a professional summary for LinkedIn.

3) Preparing for Job Interviews

You can ask ChatGPT to provide general interview questions and also role-specific questions.

Additionally, using your CV and the job description, you can get tailored answers that will help you prepare for the interview. For example, I could use this prompt: ā€œBased on my CV and the job spec, how can I answer the question about my experience in stakeholder management?ā€ to get an idea of how to answer that question.

Other examples of prompts that can be useful on your job search journey are:

  • ā€œUsing my CV and the attached job description, identify the top three skills I should highlight in my job application for the [Job Title] position.ā€

  • ā€œCompare my CV with the attached job description to evaluate my suitability for the [Job Title] role. I am trying to decide whether to apply for this position.ā€

  • ā€œI have applied for the [Job Title] position and would like to send a professional job application email to the hiring manager. Please help me craft an email using aligned content from my CV and the job description.ā€

Remember: whenever ChatGPT generates a draft, be sure to tweak it so it sounds like you. Add specific metrics and accomplishments, and adjust the tone. This will help keep it human and authentic!

By using ChatGPT when looking for a job, you can save time and produce high-quality, customised materials! Hope this was helpfulā€¦.


Until next week,
