The Ultimate Guide to Using AI &

ChatGPT for Job Applications

At the heart of its service, ChatGPT is an advanced artificial intelligence program capable of
understanding and processing natural language. But let’s dive in a little deeper. ChatGPT is a
state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. And it generates human-like responses
to natural language inputs. In other words, ChatGPT can understand and interpret your text
and provide relevant, valuable replies based on its vast knowledge base and machine learning
algorithms. ChatGPT can be used for many different purposes, like language translation, content
creation, career advice, customer support, and ... you guessed it, job applications.

What are the benefits of using AI in your job applications?
Using AI like ChatGPT for the entire job application process can provide significant advantages in
today’s competitive market. Some of these benefits include:
• Saving time: An AI-powered tool can help you create tailored resumes and cover letters
quickly and easily. With tools like an AI Resume Builder, you can add your information once,
then select which work experiences to include in each resume to best fit the job you’re
applying for.
• Increasing efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks like job tracking to maintain organizing,
application status information, and follow-ups. (Check out Teal’s Job Application Tracker
feature to see for yourself.)
• Personalizing: Analyze your skills, experience, and preferences to create personalized job
recommendations and help you find opportunities that fit your background and career
goals.
• Improving success: By generating tailored resumes and cover letters, you’ll stand out from
the competition and increase your chances of landing a job interview and, ultimately, a job.
• Enhancing skills: A tool like ChatGPT can provide feedback and insights on your job search
strategies, helping you identify areas for improvement and develop new skills to improve
your employability.
