The Artificial Intelligence Revolution is here to stay, prompting our PM to announce a national framework this week covering data centre accountability, copyright protections and the establishment of an Office of AI.
AI can be a valuable tool. But in the cut-throat world of job-seeking, it can be more hindrance than help to your chances of being hired.
Here’s why I urge caution to anyone thinking of using ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini or any other machine learning model as the means to crafting their next job application:
AI has no personality: Asking a computer program to write your cover letter or statement addressing key selection criteria usually results in bland sentences that lack soul and spark. Employers want to know who they are hiring, and AI applications cannot show your personality.
AI doesn’t know you or your prospective employer: A key part of attracting a recruiter’s eye is showing how your individual traits, skills and experience align with the company’s culture, goals and needs. Only you truly know your own strengths and weaknesses and only you can reach out directly to the organisation to clarify how you might best fit their requirements.
AI tells fibs: Despite best intentions, AI models fill knowledge gaps by making things up then confidently stating the information as fact. When challenged or asked for evidence, they will apologise and confess to wrongly extrapolating data, misaligning details or simply guessing. You won’t create a good impression if you unknowingly adopt these mistakes.
AI, like the fox, can smell its own scent: While recruiters are becoming adept at spotting AI-generated applications (how many times can “moreover” or “furthermore” appear in one cover letter?), they commonly use AI programs themselves to filter them out. Many pitches never reach a human eye as they’re rejected by programs similar to that which created them.
AI cannot attend the interview: Even if you sneak through stage one undetected, the game will be up if the person sitting in front of the interview panel doesn’t match the one they thought they were getting when reading your application.
Applying for a job is time-consuming, but taking shortcuts is unwise. You want to put your best foot forward in an application, not the footprint of an AI model. After all, it is you, the incredible human, that recruiters want to employ.
