We may not have personal assistance of our own, but you have something close to that, technology. You may argue that technology cannot help us in every way, but that is correct. But it can certainly help us lead a better, easier life. Just like in almost every other aspect of our lives, technology can be a big help when you are preparing for that job interview that you want to crack for the longest time. ChatGPT is one of those artificial intelligence tools that you can easily use to advance your career.
If you are already aware of the buzz that ChatGPT created then you already know how beneficial this multipurpose tool is. So let’s discuss how you can use this tool to prepare for your interview along with 25 amazing and working ChatGPT prompts.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGpt is an artificial intelligence tool and this chatbot was launched by AI research lab OpenAI in November 2022. As mentioned above, it is a multipurpose chatbot that you can use for a variety of reasons. You can write a song, answer test questions, debug any code, or use it like a research tool, like you did with Google for information. This chatbot works through prompts, or the messages you type in and send to the tool to start a conversation. This chatbot cannot read your mind, chances are you are getting what you want from ChatGPT because you failed to ask for it.
What are the best practices for preparing for job interviews using ChatGPT?
Before you start preparing for your job interview using this chatbot, there are some general rules you need to keep in mind. They are -
i) Confidential company information - If you have signed any NDA during the job interview, it would be better not to pass anything confidential regarding the company or the interview while you are using ChatGPT. This is because OpenAI sometimes collects and saves data to improve user experience which can lead to harm if you share any sensitive information.
ii) Adding context - Even though ChatGPT always comes up with a lot of words, you cannot assume that it knows what you want or what you are looking for all the time. So it is important to add context every time you are making any kind of conversation with the chatbot. This can be anything from your working style or background or the company role.
iii) Trust your gut - Just like any other technological advancements, ChatGPT is not free of errors, so it may not always produce the right answers. No matter what the answer is, the key is to trust your inner self and go with your gut.
