I am currently on a job search and attended a zoom panel with a few career coaches. One of them said that if you’re not currently using LLMs on the job search right now, you should be, and she gave a few cursory examples like customizing responses and notes, but I’m still not entirely sure what the actual applications are beyond making translating your emails into glib redditese. At the same time, bullshit still appears to still be king, and, if ChatGPT confers a competitive advantage, it doesn’t make sense to tie an arm behind my back. So has anyone used an LLM to help land a job, and, if so, how?
Definitely useful, but it really depends- IME I used it on job applications for stuff I was only tangentially interested in and personally focused on the stuff that I gave a ahit about - so it can help you with just putting out a volume of applications - I also like the approach of feeding them your resume bullet points and the job description and prompting it to generate an optimized resume based on the job description and also putting together a cover letter based on it too.
