The Impact of AI on Your Job Search (and How to Adapt)

Artificial intelligence has transformed your job search. How you respond can dictate how quickly you land your dream job — and how quickly potential employers find you and discover why you’d be an excellent addition to their team. 

With these tips, you’ll be well-equipped to utilise AI technologies during your job search. 

Maximise Your Online Presence 

Many tools are available to boost your LinkedIn profile and career. Use these to identify terms and phrases that employers consider as they search for the best job candidates to make your LinkedIn profile more searchable than ever before. 

Integrate appropriate keywords into your resume. Using AI, you can optmise your application in accordance with applicant tracking systems (ATS). And, as an employer uses these systems to identify the top candidates, your resume is likely to appear near the top of their list.

Take Advantage of AI-Based Platforms

You can utilise artificial intelligence-based platforms that account for common interview questions you’ll receive. Use these to prepare for questions you’ll get when you meet with an interviewer. 

Along with these, take advantage of AI-based job search platforms. These help you quickly and easily identify jobs that fit your criteria. 

Fine-Tune Your Soft Skills

Prioritise the development of soft skills like communication and critical thinking. These can help you get ahead in your career and get the most value out of artificial intelligence technologies during your job search.  

For example, if you can communicate effectively, you are well equipped to share information with artificial intelligence-based tools. These will be able to pick up the information you provide and use it to assist you in your job search. 

Continue to Adapt

Artificial intelligence is constantly evolving. Use AI as you search for a job today, but keep in mind that it continues to change. Stay up to date about AI technologies, and you may discover new ones that further assist you during your job search.

Remember, artificial intelligence isn’t perfect, and there are times when it can do more harm than good. For instance, AI helps you optimise your resume. But, when you read through your AI-generated resume, you realise it no longer reflects who you are and what you’re all about. At this point, it becomes exceedingly difficult to use your resume to stand out to potential employers and show them all you have to offer.

Lastly, artificial intelligence is one of many tools you can use during your job search. You can utilise AI in combination with doing things like conducting research before applying for jobs and other tried-and-true job search techniques.
