ChatGPT, AI, and Career Development
ChatGPT is an advanced conversational AI model based on the GPT architecture, designed to generate human-like responses in interactive conversations. ChatGPT and other generative AI can streamline aspects of the job and internship search. Technology tools work best if you know how to use them effectively and ethically.
Using ChatGPT for Your Career
For career management, ChatGPT is best used as a creative, brainstorming tool. For example, writing a cover letter, resume, or networking email can be intimidating when starting from scratch. But you can input your desired job title and excerpts of your skills and experience to receive language to begin working with.
Important Tips to Remember:
- DO NOT simply copy and paste this text into a document and hit send to an employer. ChatGPT does give you a template to work from, but it’s critical to adjust the phrasing and enhance the content so it is more authentic to you.
- Check responses for inaccuracies and inclusion of your unique words and voice.
- Use specific prompts and engage in dialogue by asking follow-up questions. Use the “Regenerate Response” button to see other options.
- Ask for specific responses based on your materials and for responses that use different tones, such as formal, engaging, or casual.
- Exercise caution when sharing personally identifiable information with chatbots/AI. For example, if you insert your resume into the chat for feedback, do so without including your name, email address, phone number, etc.
- AI does not provide the expertise and individualized approach that career advising does. For customized support with your internship or job search, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with our Assistant Director of Student Success, Alice Padilla, via Navigate.
