Applying for your dream job can be completely overwhelming. One teeny typo in your resume or run-on sentence in your cover letter could cost you the opportunity of a lifetime. So, you’re gonna want to get as much help as you can during the application process. Why not lean on artificial intelligence to enhance your chances of getting hired?
When it comes to your job search, AI tools are super efficient as long as you don’t use them inappropriately or irresponsibly. For instance, you should never use an AI tool like ChatGPT to compose your cover letter, unless your goal is to receive a big fat rejection. Think of AI as an assistant, rather than a cheating tool that does all the work for you.
With that being said, let’s take a look at all the ethical and highly effective ways you can use AI to help in your job-seeking process.
Use AI tools like ChatGPT to help you find your dream job

Did you know you can use ChatGPT to help you find the career you’ve been longing for? All you have to do is download the app, then plug in the role and key experience and tasks required for your next position.
Think about what exactly it is that you’re looking for, then jot it all down. Are you looking for a full-time or part-time position? Do you seek something in-office? Remote? Or is Hybrid ideal? Ask yourself if you prefer a laid-back environment, or if fast-paced is more your speed.
Once you know all these little details, type your directions into ChatGPT, “I’m looking for a job in this area that has x,y, and z.” Take the process a step further and ask the tool if it can list the contact information of the individuals in charge of the hiring process. If ChatGPT can find that email or phone number, it will make the whole process that much faster.
ChatGPT can help you research the company you’re applying to

You can be the most accomplished and successful person with the most impressive resume known to mankind… But if you don’t have a firm grasp of the company you’re applying to, there’s a good chance you won’t get hired.
Companies prefer candidates who appreciate the organizations they’re applying to and take the time to research them. A hiring manager wants to know that the candidate they’re considering genuinely believes in the brand’s core values, goals, and overall ambitions. So it’s critical that you do a deep dive on the particular brand/company/store/team, etc., so you know the ins and outs before sending out your cover letter and resume.
If you’ve always wanted to write for Marie Claire magazine, go ahead and ask ChatGPT to list Marie Claire’s core values and goals as a company:
My prompt: “What are Marie Claire magazine’s core values?”
ChatGPT’s response:
Simone Torn
When you are putting together your cover letter, be sure to integrate and emphasize all the key points and motives that drive their team forward.
Note: As previously stated, it’s essential that you use ChatGPT as a learning/research tool, as opposed to copying text verbatim. This is unoriginal work and will likely get you dinged for plagiarism, so use this tool responsibly.
Polish your resume and cover letter with Grammarly
Austin Distel
Grammarly is another fantastically helpful AI tool that can help you lock down your dream job. It’s no secret that hiring managers are looking for candidates who are professionals, which means that there are no errors, typos, or grammatical mistakes in your application.
Are you sure you’re using the correct version of there/their/they’re in your cover letter? Even if you pride yourself on being a grammar expert, it’s easy to slip up here and there. As Grammarly says — while quoting Alexander Pope — “to err is to human — to edit, divine.”
The worst thing that could happen is that you spend so much of your time and energy researching, writing, and polishing your application necessities, only to miss a glaring typo. Fortunately, this is preventable simply by utilizing Grammarly to get the job done right.
Ask your Artificial Intelligence device to identify possible hiring contacts

Cold emailing is an exceptional hack for landing a job. We live in an age when sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor identify hiring companies for us. And while this can be an effective job search tool, it’s massively overcrowded. Hiring companies are bombarded with so many applications they use AI to hone in on keywords and phrases that are necessary for the role and dump the rest.
To stand out from the crowd, cold emailing can be a surprisingly effective way to land interviews, secure a side hustle, part-time work, or even a full-time position. If you are ready to give cold emailing a try, be sure to get help from AI, which can list out the names and emails of the specific teammates to reach out to. With all these contacts now freely accessible to you, you’ll land a gig in no time!
So, tell us. How will you be using AI to help you with your application process?
