Using Artificial Intelligence

Did you know you can utilize artificial intelligence to support your professional development? Discover how to effectively collaborate with AI on a number of topics related to job searches and career exploration. 

Remember, AI is not perfect. It is constantly evolving and is best used when paired with human thoughts! Your initial prompt will determine how accurate your results are. Check out some examples we recommend below. Be sure to review the AI responses and use wording that is appropriate to your individual voice, situation, and the career field you are interested in. 

Career Exploration

Give a description of 10 specific job titles that match my interests? Tell me more about the first two roles. Are these local or regional? What kind of medium? What's a day in the life?
