Ready to rock that next job or internship interview? Of course, you are! On top of leaning on friends, family, and mentors to sharpen your people skills, you can use AI to help you prep, practice, and ace your interview. Here are four ways AI can help you land your next big opportunity:
Strengthen Your Materials
AI platforms like ChatGPT can help you align your resume to the job or internship you’re applying for. These platforms are great for proofreading, catching errors, and helping you organize your experience into a compelling story. You can even provide the platform with the job posting and ask it to provide you with a list of points you should emphasize during your interview. Remember, AI isn’t perfect, so to get the best product, make sure you’re direct with your request, clarifying your experience, and ensuring the AI doesn’t add anything to your materials that doesn’t accurately reflect your history.
Get Insights on Common Interview Questions
AI platforms can help you brainstorm common interview questions based on the job you’re applying for. Whether it’s “What’s your greatest weakness?” or “Why should we hire you?” These tools can help you think ahead so you’re prepared for the big day.
Be Your Personal Interview Coach
Think of AI as your always-on, never-gets-tired coach. Platforms like Interview AI and Google Interview Warmup analyze your answers in real time, giving you instant feedback on how you answered with tips on how to strengthen your skills.
Help Prep Materials for an In-Person Mock Interview
Simulating your interview situation as closely as possible has benefits. You’ll likely be interviewing with a person, so practicing with a person allows you to seek feedback on your body language, filler words (think, “uh,” “um”), and ability to think on your feet. You can use AI tools to create a packet of interview questions, provide tips for your interviewer, and even give you a feedback rubric that simulates how someone in the field would likely process or rate your interview skills.
Now, get out there and make AI work for you because the future is yours to take!
