The job search can feel challenging and overwhelming. Where am I going? What do I want to do? For students entering the job market or looking for an internship, it can also be difficult to translate your experiences into concrete competencies that fit the job posting. What am I good at? How do I stand out? The internet can sometimes feel like a sea of conflicting advice, ideas, and new technologies, and it can be hard to know how to approach applying for jobs in the contemporary world in a way that aligns with your values, showcases your talents, and resonates with potential employers.

 

In this workshop, we’ll take a look at what really matters when applying to jobs. We’ll explore the most effective ways to approach the job search and the application process, and we’ll learn how to use digital tools and generative AI (ChatGPT) to support us in the process.  We’ll learn how to explore career paths, identify your skills, and create great application documents. We’ll also discuss what to watch out for and what to avoid when using generative AI in the application process. Upon completing this workshop, you’ll have a set of hands-on tools that you can use – with and without AI – that will help you to navigate the job or internship search effectively and to find a path that truly fits you.
