FROM THE ADVISOR:

Hello Hoyas!

ChatGPT has been making headlines lately, to say the least. Leaving all philosophical concerns aside, I decided to get acquainted with the AI tool and learn how it can be more helpful in the job search process. While it can be useful in creating a generic resume template and rewording text, it definitely falls short in illustrating the details of one’s experience, including the how, why, and/or result. One of the job roles used to illustrate the author’s points in the article below, a deckhand on a pirate ship, gave me a good laugh. Don’t forget! We have our own AI tool, Resume Worded (new window), which can help improve your documents.

For fun, I asked ChatGPT what the hottest jobs are in the health and science industry, as of March 2023, and here was the response: Epidemiologist, Healthcare IT Specialist, Artificial Intelligence Specialist (seems a little biased to me :), Mental Health Counselor, Biotech Researcher, Telehealth Specialist, and Occupational Therapist. For double the fun, I asked about 2026, and here are the results: Medical Imaging Specialist, Precision Medicine Specialist, Biomedical Data Analyst, Geriatric Care Specialist, Health Informatics Specialist, Regenerative Medicine Researcher, and Environmental Health Specialist. Many of these sound about right, but as we know, ChatGPT isn’t always accurate so I don’t recommend planning your career based on ChatGPT’s projections.

P.S. You can thank ChatGPT for a more concise letter this week. It’s pretty miraculous, I must admit. But I’m still scared!

All the best,

We Asked ChatGPT to Write Resumes and Cover Letters. Here’s What It Got Right (and Wrong)

Source: Forage

ChatGPT is a large stepping stone for AI and technology development and has been the topic of many conversations as of late. Beyond being a fun diversion, some have used ChatGPT in their job search, especially to write cover letters and resumes. While ChatGPT-generated cover letters and resumes are not totally bad they are not the type of resumes or cover letters you would want to submit as part of your application. ChatGPT, however, can provide you with a solid foundation to build upon. Always edit for accuracy and make sure that the content is specific to you, and that the writing is clear and compelling. Copying and pasting parts of the job description isn’t helpful because ChatGPT will simply parrot back the keywords without explaining why or how you do those things. It’s important for both a resume and cover letter to show vs tell as you share your background and experience. Read the full article here (new window).
