How Students should not use Generative AI in the Job Search
Everywhere you look, there is an article about how to land a job using generative AI, and how to use AI tools to rewrite resumes, practice for interviews, overhaul LinkedIn profiles, draft cover letters, and even generate professional headshots.
As university educators, we urge students to use these tools appropriately and have developed guides to help students; we have also created a specialized prompting guide for career educators. (See box.) We incorporate these tools into our curriculum, discuss their implications and benefits in our lectures, and actively encourage students to engage with these innovative technologies.
