I use ChatGPT to ace interviews: ‘Works for every single job’
She swears this hack works.
Hanna Goefft, an NYC creator whose TikTok content highlights job opportunities and employment advice, is encouraging viewers to use ChatGPT to prepare for interviews.
“I’m a big proponent of ‘work smarter, not harder,’ and I’m always eager to explore new technologies that will help others succeed in their job search,” Goefft told The Post, saying that the capabilities of ChatGPT “captivated” her.
Her curiosity, she said, inspired her to experiment with the tech using different prompts that she “knew would be invaluable for effective interview preparation.”
“By actively engaging with ChatGPT, I discovered its ability to generate tailored questions, provide valuable feedback, and assist in honing interview skills,” she added.
In her TikTok video, which has scored more than 2 million views since March, she praises the OpenAI software for its ability to pose questions that could be asked by a real-life employer.
“This is the easiest way to prepare for interviews, and it will work for every single job,” Goefft, 28, began.
In the 48-second clip, captioned, “I don’t think I’ll ever get over hacking life with AI,” she copies and pastes a job description for a product marketing manager into ChatGPT, asking the smart chat bot to analyze the posting for 10 keywords and produce related questions.
The artificially intelligent tech generated questions such as, “How do you determine when and what products to package and promote at each stage of the customer journey?”
Goefft advises viewers to incorporate the keywords provided by ChatGPT in their interview responses.
“You don’t necessarily need to say them explicitly, but you want your examples to demonstrate that you have these skills,” she said in the video.
“This way, you’ll know that you’re highlighting the most relevant pieces of your experience rather than just projects that you may be proud of, which might not always be the same thing,” she added.
“One of the biggest hurdles when preparing for an interview is devising an effective method of preparation,” she told The Post.
While candidates have the necessary experience, she added, it can be difficult to organize and convey it effectively in an interview.
“Imagine having a powerful AI tool that helps you anticipate interview questions, refine your answers, and fine-tune your interview strategy,” she continued, praising the tech’s ability to help interviewees stand out in a competitive job market.
“With ChatGPT’s assistance, you can be well-prepared and confident. It covers all bases, ensuring you don’t miss important topics or stumble over responses.”
Viewers championed Goefft’s hack while brainstorming the software’s job-seeking capabilities.
“I swear learning how to use ChatGPT to maximize its potential is going to be a whole acquired skillset,” one person commented.
“Can ChatGPT write a resume?” asked another.
“I’ve been doing this for a few weeks and now I’m being flown to another state for a second interview at my dream job NO JOKE,” exclaimed someone else.
“I’m a recruiter and I second this,” declared another user. “The job description is a great source for what questions you might expect on interview. Use it!”
Other ChatGPT experimentations include drafting Tinder messages, wedding vows, and even letters of resignation.
The advanced tech helped one TikToker quit her job, formulating an email for her to send to her boss that went viral.
The popularity of ChatGPT has soared since its debut last year, but now, warnings from tech experts and even its creator have raised eyebrows.
The latest fear centers around security, as Apple banned employees from using the OpenAI software amid concerns of leaking confidential information.
