The first workshop in our semester one Develop series is delivered by Chris Traynor (Senior Manager - Careers & Employability, Newcastle University Careers Service) and Rebecca Ball (Work Experience Manager, Newcastle University Careers Service).

The job application process can be an onerous and time consuming one and any tool which can help make the process more efficient is always an inviting one. With the rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence), and specifically generative AI chatbots, there is a tool to hand which can, in some circumstances, help with the job application process. However, there are also several pitfalls that can harm your application process if these chatbots are used in the wrong manner.

On the recruitment side of the application process, generative AI tools are having a big impact on the way employers recruit, alongside an increase in the automation of application processing.

Join us for this interactive online workshop to find out more about how AI can be used effectively in the context of job applications, as well as what to avoid. We will also be offering an employer perspective on using AI in the recruitment process, including advice on the advantages of using AI, and common mistakes.

This workshop will cover:

What do we mean by generative AI? How does this differ from other AI technology?
How you can effectively use AI to support job or career research.
How to use AI for CVs, cover letters and LinkedIn profiles.
Using AI to prepare for interviews and create presentations.
Using AI for recruitment tests.

Please ensure you complete all information required on the order form for your place to be confirmed.

Our NCL Develop workshops are designed to be smaller, more interactive sessions. We encourage you to keep your camera on during the session, but understand this isn't always possible.
