How AI tools can help in job searching

AI tools that can help with a job search are appearing all of the time.  

It’s absolutely crucial that job applicants do not solely rely on AI job search tools but use them as something to augment their applications. Most importantly,  applicants should review what is created and always edit to ensure a personal touch.  

Here are some of the things that you can use AI tools to do:

-CV Optimisation - analysing job descriptions in job ads to identify relevant keywords and suggest improvement to your CV to better match to the role.

-Cover Letter Generation - Helping to create cover letter by using ad content to tailor application letters.

- Skill Matching - Identifying skills required for a job and comparing and matching them to skillsets on CVs.

- Job recommendations - Using the skills and competencies required for a job and comparing them to skillsets to highlight the best fit to a job.

- Interview Preparation - Tools can provide mock interview questions and feedback on responses to prepare for interviews 

Programmes include Jobscan for keyword matching, Careerflow for cover letters and CV review.  Talentprise will match skills with relevant job openings, Aragon can generate a professional headshot and Fetch can make recommendations.  

There are many more resources available to applicants and also for employers and these are evolving all the time.    We firmly believe that whilst AI tools can help in creating applications, they should be used to support applications for your new job!
