AI \u2013 Friend or foe? This big question is sparking some heated debate. In this article, we\u2019re going to focus on the positive side. We’ll explore how AI can give you a competitive edge during your job search, help you level up your application game, and ultimately land that dream job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s first break down job hunting into four stages. Choose the stage you\u2019re currently going through and see how AI can make the process more effective and less painful:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stage 1: Freshen up your resume<\/span><\/a>
\nStage 2: Know your worth<\/span><\/a>
\nStage 3: Tailor your cover letter<\/span><\/a>
\nStage 4: Prepare for your interview\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stage 1: Freshen up your resume<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always best practice to polish your resume before applying to any job, as well as tailoring it to make it really relevant to the role.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning to update your resume, try Adzuna\u2019s free AI resume screening tool <\/span>ValueMyResume<\/span><\/a>. Simply upload your resume to the platform, and the tool will evaluate it against a range of criteria, such as spelling, filename, the length of your resume, your work history, and more. Based on the suggestions, you can edit your old resume accordingly and make sure it\u2019s flawless before sending it to your future employer.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stage 2: Know your worth<\/h2>\n

In the meantime, ValueMyResume<\/a> will also give you a statistical estimate of your market value. Knowing how much you\u2019re worth in the job market can help salary negotiations after you receive a job offer, as well as fast-tracking your job hunt. You can skip underpaid jobs and go for positions that match your market value. This tool will also propose potential career paths you can take based on your skills profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other side of getting paid your worth is knowing the salary range for advertised positions. Sadly, many employers are not showing salaries on job ads so it could be difficult to know whether some jobs match with your salary expectation. To tackle this pain point, we developed a salary prediction tool called Jobsworth that produces a salary estimate for every job ad that doesn’t have a salary. Simply start your job search on Adzuna<\/a>.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Stage 3: Tailor your cover letter<\/h2>\n

Do recruiters or hiring managers actually read cover letters? Some do and some don\u2019t. But let\u2019s not make this an excuse not to include a cover letter. Drafting a cover letter from scratch can be time-consuming so let ChatGPT help you. This AI chatbot can draft your cover letter within seconds and tailor it to your role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some simple prompts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Draft a one-page cover letter for a job application as a [position] at [company] based on my resume below. Please highlight my qualifications and enthusiasm.”<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

“Compose a persuasive cover letter explaining how my qualifications align with the requirement for the [position] at [company] and why I am the best fit. Here\u2019s the job ad: [job ad].\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Advanced ChatGPT prompt to try:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
