Applying

Get strategic and make a plan for searching and applying for opportunities. Be sure to refer back to what you have learned from self-reflection, research, and networking conversations to refine your search. Using AI in job searches can be a helpful tool for finding current opportunities available in niche industries or specific geographic areas.

How AI Can Help You

AI can help streamline your search and obtain several opportunities that match your criteria and unique skill set.

AI can offer relevant results when you are clear and specific in your search criteria.

AI tools can assist in crafting a structured routine for your search, incorporating work periods and rest breaks.

Structure can vary: some may dedicate mornings to research and afternoons to applications, while for others it means that weekends will involve no job/internship search!

How AI Can Hurt You

Some generative AI tools are updated infrequently, meaning information on certain companies may not be current.

For the most accurate and up-to-date details, always refer to the company’s official website.

AI is known to produce both implicit and explicit bias or offensive content.

Since bias can occur at any stage of the generative process, it’s essential to review AI-generated content for inaccuracies and biases.

Sample Prompts

Remember: Detailed and specific prompts will help you obtain improved responses from generative AI language models.
