03.  If you use ChatGPT for your application,  this may be helpful to remember...

​There are always new tools to help us get things done better and faster. When ChatGPT launched, many companies decided to completely drop the cover letter from their applications. If you find yourself writing one and plan to use AI to speed up the process, here a few things to remember:

•  It is great for giving structure and a basis to build on. In my opinion, using tools is great. And just like anything else - the more we use a method or a tool, the better we become in tweaking it to our needs.
• Use it for refining our work, rather than replacing it. It is a great tool to help us with text creation. Just make sure it sounds like you. We all have our own way of communication, the way we use language tends to show a bit of our personality.
• Sounding smart can be a give away sign. AI generated communication tends to be very eloquent, elaborative and well-worded. But if words like ´eloquent´ and ´elaborative´ are not usually part of your vocabulary, it just makes the use of it obvious.

Personally, I enjoy finding the words myself - for this blog included. I see it as a little investment in my own communication skills, and even more so - time to reflect.

Hm...Why do we struggle with writing our resume?
     Ah, yes. It is a tedious job for sure, but there is one more reason…
