How you can use CHATGPT for your application
ChatGPT, an AI model based on natural language processing, is currently the talk of the town. With its ability to communicate in a human way, contribute ideas on various topics and generate different types of text, ChatGPT is being used in many areas of society. From students and school pupils to companies, more and more people are turning to this technology. The tool is also being used more and more frequently in the HR sector.
ChatGPT opens up a wide range of opportunities for applicants, especially in the application process. However, it is important that you only use ChatGPT as a support tool and that you realise that it can in no way replace a personal exchange. It offers you support in your preparation and can be useful in various phases of the application process, but the human component and direct dialogue are irreplaceable.
As an applicant, you can benefit from ChatGPT in these 4 areas:
- Improving and customising the CV
- Drafting and fine-tuning the application letter
- Researching industry insights and companies
- Preparation for interview questions

FIND OUT INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Enter your application details in ChatGPT, including the position you are applying for, the industry and specific requirements. It is also helpful to include the job advert. Here's an example of a prompt: I'm applying for an accountant position at an accounting firm. Can you give me 10 industry-specific questions I might face in the interview? Here is the job description: [insert advert]
ChatGPT will then list relevant questions for you to go through:
ChatGPT can then also help you to formulate answers to these questions.
Example Chat GPT prompt: What would be well-founded and professional answers to these 10 questions?
You can also prepare for tricky questions designed to test your stress resistance. The input works in a similar way to the professional interview questions. Sometimes it is necessary to explicitly ask ChatGPT to ask you these tricky questions.
SIMULATION OF A JOB INTERVIEW
With ChatGPT you can even simulate a complete job interview. Make sure that the AI tool understands that you want to hold a dialogue with it.
Example Chat GPT prompt: I would like to practise a job interview. You are playing the recruiter of an auditing company and I am applying for a job in accounting. Please conduct the interview from greeting to farewell, including small talk, professional and personal questions as well as my own questions to the company. Please bear in mind that I would like to formulate the answers myself. Did you understand that?
As soon as ChatGPT confirms this, you can play through the interview from start to finish:
