It’s probably not quite at the stage that you can just let AI “do” your application for you, but there are some uses of Ai out there that can certainly help.
Bear in mind that AI is very definitely being used to analyse job applications, which makes it super-important to understand how to make your cover letter and CV 'parseable" by ATS (Applicant Tracking System) software.
There are a couple of links below - from these, the key takeaway points are:
- ATS focuses on keywords to determine if an application matches what the employer is looking for
- ATS also looks for basic information (like contact details, job titles and education history)
- ATS parses the information in CVs as the first step in the recruitment process - those CVs that are above a certain threshold are passed to humans (hiring managers) for the next step
- an ATS-friendly CV makes use of a simple font, layout and labels to ensure that the system can "understand it
- LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT can assist with writing cover letters, ensuring that the important points of the application are covered, highlighting how you, as the applicant, meet the needs of the employer
- tools like ChatGPT and Grammarly can help to ensure that your cover letter is well-written and doesn’t contain any spelling or grammar errors
