This review was written with assistance from Claude Haiku

Using AI in your job search: Resources and prompts is a publicly available Google Doc designed to help advanced English language learners improve their linguistic skills for the purpose of job searching. Unlike many generic language learning materials, this document provides targeted practice tailored specifically to using AI to develop the vocabulary, grammar, and communication needs of the job application and interview process.

Purpose and Key Benefits

This resource seeks to help you use generative AI effectively to improve language to effectively navigate all stages of a job search, from crafting resumes and cover letters to participating in interviews. The document consists of structured, adaptable prompts to use with any generative AI tool, clearly organized in a table of contents.

By working through the various exercises and activities, you can work on:

  • Describing work experience and skills using appropriate terminology
  • Discussing career goals and ambitions in a clear, confident manner
  • Responding to common behavioral and situational interview questions
  • Engaging in small talk and professional networking conversations
  • Drafting cover letters that capture your qualifications and personality

In exploring these prompts and doing mock interviews, you can also develop your confidence speaking English in this high-pressure situation.

Unique Approach and Features

What sets the “Job Search Prompts” resource apart is its laser focus on real-world, job-related language use. Rather than relying on generic dialogues or writing prompts, the activities are grounded in authentic scenarios and sample questions drawn from actual recruitment and hiring processes.

Additionally, the resource provides extensive opportunities for you to refine your language use. Many exercises incorporate self-reflection prompts, allowing you to analyze your own responses, identify areas for improvement, and iterate on your work.
