How do applicants benefit from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence model that uses natural language processing to conduct human-like conversations, is experiencing a lot of hype right now. With its ability to chat and respond like a human, provide ideas and suggestions on a wide variety of topics, and compose text of all kinds, ChatGPT is finding application in numerous sectors of society. Students, pupils, companies - they all use AI more and more. It's the same in HR, as this article shows: ChatGPT in HR: A step-by-step guide to optimal team training.
And of course, there are also some ways to make ChatGPT work for you in the recruiting process on the applicant side.
Note: It is important to keep in mind that ChatGPT should be used as a support tool and not as a replacement for human interaction. It can help you better prepare and assist you in various aspects of the application process, but it does not replace the human touch and face-to-face interview.
Applicants can benefit from ChatGPT mainly in 4 areas:
- Creation and optimization of the CV
- Creation and optimization of the cover letter
- Finding information about industry and company
- Preparation for the interview
You can read more about these 4 points and how ChatGPT fulfills them in this article: With Chat GPT to your dream job: Does it work?
Wondering how artificial intelligence can help you prepare for a face-to-face interview? We'll show you!
Preparing for the job interview with ChatGPT
Before you go to your job interview, it is essential to prepare yourself for possible questions. This way you avoid unpleasant surprise moments because you can't think of an answer spontaneously. This is where ChatGPT comes in.
SHOWING QUESTIONS
When entering the ChatGPT form, you should mention the position you are applying for, the industry of the company and what exactly ChatGPT should produce for you. In the best case, you should also copy the job advertisement into the mask:
I have applied for a job as an accountant in an accounting firm. Formulate 10 technical questions that I, as an applicant, might be asked at the interview. This was the position description: advertisement
ChatGPT will now list technical questions for you to go through in order:
In the next step, ChatGPT can also help you answer these questions.
As the question: What would be correct and professional answers to these 10 questions?
Once you have prepared yourself professionally, you should deal with the questions that recruiters like to use to challenge you and assess your behavior under stress. The input works 1:1 as for the professional questions. But sometimes you must persuade ChatGPT to ask you those "nasty" questions 😉
SIMULATING AN INTERVIEW
ChatGPT also offers you the possibility to simulate a complete job interview. You should make sure that ChatGPT understands that you want to have a dialog:
I would like to simulate a job interview. You are the recruiter in an accounting firm, I am the applicant for an accounting position. Please conduct a job interview with me from greeting to small talk to professional questions to personal questions to my questions and goodbye. Please ask the questions, then let me answer, and only then proceed. Do you understand that I want to write the applicant's answers myself?
If ChatGPT confirms this to you, you are ready to go. You can now rehearse your interview from start to finish:
