Job seekers: CVs, interviews, and AI-ready skills

Using AI to prepare for applications and interviews.

Job seekers can use AI to improve CV wording, tailor cover letters, practise interview questions, and learn workplace AI skills that employers value.

Be honest — do not invent experience. Use AI to present your real achievements more clearly.

CV bullet — before and after

Before

Responsible for sales and customer meetings.

After

Increased regional sales by 18% in 12 months by building relationships with 40+ retail accounts.

Interview practice

Ask AI to play interviewer for your target role. Practise answering 'tell me about yourself' and one behavioural question. Refine your answers to sound natural.
