Can ChatGPT Write Your CV

The use of AI seems to be taking over many elements of people’s lives, including their careers. It is becoming increasingly common for job seekers to use AI to write their CVs, and 83% of recruiters believe they are seeing the use of AI in job applications either frequently or occasionally. Although ChatGPT and other AI tools can be used as a tool to assist with CV writing, it is best to avoid using it to write your CV. These are some of the reasons to avoid using AI in CV writing.

Generic Language

Your personality should come across in your CV, which is why it is important to write it yourself or get a professional CV writer who has taken the time to speak to you first. AI uses generic language which means your CV will sound like every other CV on the recruiters desk. You want your CV to be original and to allow your personality to shine through.

Errors

If you simply throw your information into chatGPT and ask it to create a CV for you, it is likely to be full of errors and will often produce information on duties that you haven’t undertaken. You may be quizzed on these during an interview so it is important to take care when using AI.

No Impact

Your CV should reflect the impact you had on a business, it shouldn’t just be full of buzzwords. For instance, you reduce absence levels by 50%, or you increased sales by 70% over a year. This is information that ChatGPT cannot provide, as it is personal to you and your own achievements.

Obvious

The last thing you want is to create a CV that recruiters know is quite obviously AI, as you are likely to be rejected straight away. They may even check how much AI is used on your CV and reject you on that basis. Recruiters want to be sure that the information on your CV is factual, and that you have taken the time and effort to get it the way you want.

Take time and effort with your CV if you want it to stand out to recruiters. With so many candidates using chatGPT to create their CVs, you will be sure to make an impact for the right reasons.
