Now that artificial intelligence (AI) is on the rise, you can make it even easier. How does AI work and how to use it to your advantage?
In the article you will learn:
What is artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) represents the ability of a device to display human-like characteristics. These skills include, for example, thinking, planning, creating or learning. Devices that have artificial intelligence can solve different problems and distinguish the environment they are in. They do so on the basis of the information available to them, and the more information they have at their disposal, the better and more relevant the information they can provide. Artificial intelligence is nothing new, but it’s become much more popular in late 2022. The reason for this was the launch of ChatGPT.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT stands for “Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer”. It is a language model based on machine learning. Its main function is to generate text responses to various questions or commands. The advantage of ChatGPT is that it works in multiple languages. In addition to English commands, you can also enter Slovak or Czech commands. ChatGPT has a specially modified algorithm that can also generate responses based on previous conversations. This means that the individual pieces of information build on each other and are continuous. You can use ChatGPT for almost anything. The only thing artificial intelligence won’t answer are questions:
- violating ethical principles,
- to which there is no clear answer,
- predicting the future,
- that require personal identification,
- which are in an unknown language.
You can currently choose between two options when using ChatGPT , free or paid. It is available free of charge to anyone who creates a user account on the website. The paid version costs $20 per month and provides faster and more accurate answers. Plus, you get access to additional tools such as DALL-E, Browsing, Advanced Data Analysis and many more.
Preparing for the interview with ChatGPT online
ChatGPT is one of the most popular artificial intelligence tools today. No wonder. It’s easy to use, free and in Slovak language. With a huge amount of information, it can help you in a number of areas, including preparing for job interview. Have you decided to give ChatGPT a chance and prepare for your next job interviews with it? Then take advantage of our practical advice.
Browse individual job offers
Start the whole job search and interview preparation process by looking at individual job offers. Unfortunately, ChatGPT can’t help you here. You will have to visit the job portals yourself. Click on the ads you are interested in and read them in detail. You will find out if you are a good fit for the company as a candidate and if you are happy with the financial evaluation, employee benefits and so on. If so, respond to the offer as soon as possible.
Study the company information
In addition to the financial evaluation, benefits or home office, you should also be interested in the company itself. Find out more about it. Explore its history, values and achievements. You can find all this directly on their website. When a company is globally known and has a long history, artificial intelligence will know a lot about it. For example, you can order her: “Write me more about company xy” or “What do you know about company xy?” If you want to use some of this information in your cover letter or interview, check it out just to be sure. Artificial intelligence makes a lot of mistakes. It may inadvertently give you incorrect information that will make you look unprofessional to a potential employer.
Create your CV
To respond to any job offers that interest you, you need to create a CV. This step is very easy today, especially since there are many tools with pre-made templates. All you have to do is fill in your personal details, education, work experience and other details. You then save everything, download it and send it to your maybe future employer. If you don’t want to use pre-made forms, you can ask ChatGPT for help. All you have to do is type a command such as “Write me a sample resume” or just “Sample resume” into the command line and you’re done. The AI creates a template for you to copy into a document, fill in, download and send. Even if you give the AI the information it needs, such as your name, education and work experience, it will fill in the blanks for you. Read also our article Skills and abilities on the CV.
Write a cover letter
Many employers require a cover letter in addition to a CV. The aim is to show why you are interested in the job offer and why you are the best candidate. If you write it right, you can impress recruiters and ensure you get invited for a job interview. But how to write a concise and interesting cover letter that won’t get boring after a few sentences? Ask ChatGPT. Within seconds, artificial intelligence creates a universal text for you to type in, adding your personal details, achievements and reasons why you’re interested in the position. If you don’t want to rely on ChatGPT, see our previous article Job Cover Letter – Online Sample Download. And what commands do you need to give ChatGPT to write you the best cover letter? For example, try “Write me a sample cover letter” or “Write me an interesting cover letter”. For anyone in the IT field, the “Write me an IT cover letter” command is also worth a try.
Write a job application
If you need a cover letter or job application in addition to a cover letter, the process for writing one using ChatGPT is the same. Just type “Write me an application letter/ job application letter” and then edit the text. If you don’t want to use Chatgpt, see our article Job Application and Cover Letter – Sample.
Interview questions and answers for the employee
If your CV or cover letter catches the eye of a potential employer, they will invite you for an interview.In this interview you will talk about your experience, work goals, ideas, etc. This is the most important part of the whole job search process. Therefore, prepare well for it.(How to prepare for an interview you can read in our last article.) Think about what you will say about yourself when recruiters ask you to introduce yourself. Once you do, more questions will follow. There are a few that are repeated regularly. If you haven’t been to an interview before and don’t know what they are, or can’t remember, ask AI.. In case you are interested in the job of a Java developer, write AI, for example, the following command: “I have an interview for a Java developer job. What questions should I expect in the job interview?” The AI will list a few interview questions for you. If it seems short to you, tell it to continue. Do the questions seem too universal and imprecise to you? If you are interested in working for a large and international company, add it to the query and ask again. For example: “I have an interview for a Java developer position at XY company. What questions should I expect in a job interview?” The ChatGPT is likely to have sufficient information about the company, its goals and values to enable it to provide much more accurate and detailed questions.
Preparing for the interview – questions and answers for the employer
At the interview, you will be given the opportunity to ask the employer some questions that you should prepare in advance. Don’t expect them to cross your mind while you’re sitting in front of recruiters. By asking the right questions, you show that you are genuinely interested in the job and want to learn more about it. Recruiters most value questions related to the information they briefly mentioned earlier. This will confirm that you were actually listening to them and not thinking somewhere else. You can use ChatGPT to create some questions. You can tell the AI to say something like, “Write down questions I can ask the employer at XY”. If the AI does not know the company, rephrase the command to “Write down questions I can ask an IT employer.”
At the interview
While you can’t have your phone or laptop on to ask the AI what to do, you can prepare for it in advance. ChatGPT will give you practical advice on how to behave in front of recruiters and what you definitely shouldn’t do. Commands you can ask the AI on this topic include:
- “What to avoid in a job interview for a Java developer job?”
- “What are the most common mistakes job seekers make in job interviews?”
- What is the job interview process?”
ChatGPT interview – more advice
AI can also help you with other tasks related to preparing for a job interview. For example, it will give you information on how you should dress if you are interested in Java developer jobs. Type “How do I dress for a job interview for a Java developer position?” in the command line and wait for advice. Other useful commands:
- “What should I bring to a job interview?”
- “How to make a good first impression?”
- “What questions can’t a recruiter ask in a job interview?”
Check every text from AI
Wondering how to find a job you enjoy? The ChatGPT artificial intelligence will help you with the whole process, writing all the texts for you and preparing you for the employer’s questions. Remember, however, that while AI knows a lot, it is not 100% right. Make sure you check the texts it provided you with and that you plan to send, such as a cover letter. Check for grammatical or stylistic errors. Then, pay attention to the truthfulness of the information and other details. ChatGPT doesn’t know you. The things it writes are just general. If they don’t describe you, delete them from the text or replace them with others.
How else can ChatGPT help you?
ChatGPT is a practical tool that you can use in many areas. In addition to the application letter and cover letter, it can create many other interesting texts for you. It is ideal to use not only in the context of work, but also in personal life. However, artificial intelligence should be taken with a grain of salt. Never rely on it for 100%. Always check everything it says. This will avoid unnecessary problems and complications that it could cause you. If you’re interested in more articles about AI and ChatGPT, read also:
