Landing your first job can be difficult, as it isn’t uncommon to encounter stiff competition. However, with the latest technologies emerging within the artificial intelligence (AI) field, many opportunities exist to leverage these tools and help you stand out. This article will help you navigate using these tools while providing some factors you should consider. WHAT DOES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COVER? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad term that uses algorithms, machine learning, and related technologies to automate tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI is ubiquitous in our daily lives, from recommendation systems to facial recognition to banking. In the job-seeking world, for example, companies commonly use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to examine resumes, identify specific words and phrases, and rank them based on how well they match the job description. This information will help you tailor your resume. HOW CAN YOU USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN YOUR JOB SEARCH? Looking for your first job can be challenging, especially for students unsure about which jobs are relevant to their degree. While plenty of resources are available to help you start your job search, such as AgCareers.com Career Profiles, it is often helpful to use AI tools to identify effective keywords that can aid you in finding relevant roles within a specific industry. You can use a large language AI model like ChatGPT to generate a prompt that asks for keywords you can use to search for jobs in a particular field. For instance, you could ask ChatGPT: What keywords should I use on job search sites if I am looking for work in (industry), particularly in (specific interest)? After you complete this prompt, ChatGPT should provide you with a list of keywords that you can use on job board websites such as AgCareers.com or CareersinFood.com. While AI-generated career recommendations can offer helpful insights, verifying these recommendations with human judgment and your research is crucial. Consider AI recommendations as one factor in career exploration instead of conclusive decisions. Engage in conversations with mentors, career advisors, and industry professionals to give context to AIgenerated suggestions and to make well-informed decisions about your career path. Bullet points are essential components of your resume. They help convey and highlight important information while making it easier for the hiring manager to read. For example, consider using bullet points in the education section to share additional information about courses taken or major projects performed when creating your resume. ChatGPT can be used to craft compelling but also authentic bullet points for your resume. To do so, provide ChatGPT with specific responsibilities from your past jobs or internships and ask the tool to generate bullet points demonstrating your achievements and metrics. Alternatively, you could provide it with some bullet points you have already created and ask it for ideas to improve on them or alternative points. >>> IDEA FORMATION CONSIDERATIONS CREATE A RESUME
