👉 Work Smarter, Not Harder

  • ChatGPT can help generate ideas for interview prep, comments on LinkedIn, resumes, cover letters, thank you notes, etc.
  • Remember that AI tools are just the beginning of the process.
  • You must customize the AI content, or you will look like every other candidate.

👉 Let’s Be Clear

  • For career pivoters, make sure your resume is accomplishment driven.
