Job seekers are harnessing the power of Chat GPT

In recent years, AI has witnessed incredible advancements, to the point where conversations about it taking over the world and replacing humankind, don’t seem so far fetched anymore…

Chat GPT is the latest AI craze and for good reason too. Short for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, Chat GPT is an AI-powered language model that can generate human-like responses based on input text.

There was controversy about what this would look like for students in college or university and now the attention has turned to job seekers.

A new survey of 4,000 UK workers, conducted by CV-Library, has discovered some statistics that may shock you as an employer.

42.7% of job seekers were found to fully intent on using ChatGPT to boost their job search which is surprising in itself.
