A new hack that went viral on TikTok could be beneficial to those who find themselves struggling to answer interview questions. TikTok user @hannahgetshired proposed using the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT to prepare for job interviews in a video posted on the platform in mid-March, which has since been widely shared.
ChatGPT is a form of AI that interacts with its users by answering questions and writing stories according to instructions given by humans. With the large quantity of information it has been trained on, ChatGPT can provide human-like responses in seconds. Inspired by this, Hannah Goefft, the woman behind the account, suggested using the software to prep for job interviews. In her video, she declared that “it will work for every single job!” and her words resonated with many.
The video has now reached over two million views, with many people sharing their successes. One viewer expressed that after using ChatGPT, they’ve been asked to go to another state for the second round of interviews at a dream job. They also advise for other users to request the program to generate questions based on job description content, to create responses connecting their previous experience, or to search for the best answers to the questions.
Others urged viewers to be cognizant of the powers of AI, as it is not flawless and cannot be fully relied upon. Experienced recruiters and HR managers encourage job searchers to stand out from other applications by adding a personal touch to cover letters and resumes, instead of automating them using AI. Furthermore, employers should also be aware of the pitfalls of using AI when it comes to finding the right candidates. It may help with easy and effective communication, but it is unable to give full evaluations and make proper judgments.
With ChatGPT still relatively new, it is important for users to cautiously observe this platform’s power in order to maximize its potential without any issues.
