AI is transforming job searching, but the key is to use it wisely. These tools can offer efficiency, focus, and confidence, but they’re most powerful when combined with your own authenticity and personal touch.


Top Ways to Use AI in Your Job Search


1. Tailor Your CV & Cover Letter AI can help you analyse a job description and highlight the skills employers are really looking for. Used correctly, this makes your CV and cover letter more targeted and impactful.


2. Practice Interview Skills AI-driven platforms allow you to rehearse interview questions, either by typing or speaking your answers. Practising this way helps build confidence and sharpen how you present your experience.


3. Research Employers Some AI tools can quickly scan websites, press releases, and news so you gain useful insights about an organisation’s culture, strategy, and challenges before an interview.


4. Improve Communication AI can tidy up your emails and LinkedIn posts, helping you express yourself more clearly and professionally—while still sounding like you.


5. Stay Organised AI assistants can track applications, deadlines, and follow-ups, keeping your job search structured and less stressful.
