In 2022, after being hired to build AI operations at a health-tech startup, it became evident that faster AI models diminished the need for previous skills. A job search for 'AI-proof' roles was initially unsuccessful, prompting a reevaluation of strategy. Embracing AI as an ally led to the creation of 'CareerBuddy GPT', which automated job application tasks. This approach reduced job search time by 70 to 80%, while aiding in role assessment and lead generation for opportunities that aligned with the candidate's experience.
AI quickly became my secret weapon. I created a custom 'CareerBuddy GPT' in ChatGPT to help me with rote work like drafting a cover letter and updating my résumé to tailor to each individual job posting.
Using AI cut down the time I was spending on my job search by 70 to 80% but it also saved me the headache.
The best use for AI was using it as a strategic partner, assessing my candidacy for roles, generating leads for my job search and advising on the best ways to position my experience.
By simply uploading my résumé or summarizing my objectives, CareerBuddy GPT identified people to reach out to, organizations to vet, and even open job listings that I may have missed.
