Stepping into a job interview can be nerve-wracking, especially when you’re not sure what to expect or how to prepare. But what if you had a personal coach available 24/7—one that could help you brainstorm answers, research companies, and even run mock interviews with you?
That coach exists. It is named ChatGPT.
Regardless of whether you are a graduate, career changer, or career switcher, here is how you can use ChatGPT as a useful tool while interviewing for your job.
1. Learn About the Company in Seconds
Before going to your interview, you would always want to know all about the company. With ChatGPT, you can ask:
-“Tell me about [Company Name]’s mission and values.”
-“What are some recent news or updates about [Company Name]?”
This will allow you to customize your answer and genuinely care while interviewing.
2. Develop Sincere Answers to Most Frequent Questions
Instead of memorizing parrot-style answers, have ChatGPT help you create sincere, considered answers:
–“How do you handle ‘Tell me a little about yourself’ when temping as a graduate?”
-“Is a great answer to ‘What are weaknesses and strengths?’ for someone career-changing?”
The trick is to produce something decent and appropriate for your level and tone.
3. Role Play a Mock Interview
You can even role-play a whole interview with ChatGPT. Just type:
-“Can you have an interviewer interview for a data analyst job and ask me 5 behavioral questions?”
Practice responding and even get feedback or suggestions for improvement.
4. Explain Job Descriptions
Sometimes job notices are jargon-filled. Have ChatGPT translate them for you:
-“Tell me what this job notice is saying in plain English?”
This will enable you to understand the job better and introduce yourself better.
5. Practice Industry-Specific Questions
Every profession has its quirks. If finance, tech, or medical, ChatGPT can assist you in practicing answers to industry-specific questions:
-“What are a few standard interview questions for junior UX designers?”
-“What are a few interview questions I might get asked when applying for a junior developer role?”
ChatGPT is not magic, but it is life-altering if you use it sensibly. You can think of it as your backstage ticket to confidence. The more prepared you are, the more present and powerful you can be in the moment.
So the next time you are getting ready to hit “join” on that Zoom interview or head into a conference room open ChatGPT first.Â
