LET’S GET YOU HIRED

AI models can do many valuable things for us, but people benefit from using ChatGPT and other conversational AI to help with their job search more than anything else.

What’s the secret? 

Well, WIRED collected all the best tips for AI job searching. We’ve got you covered with the 4-1-1 (do the kids still say that?).

Prompt: robot job interview Style: Claymation

1/ Find the roles

You need to know what to search for, and ChatGPT works wonders at spotting the job titles you should consider based on your experience.

There are dozens of prompts for this, but we recommend uploading your resume to ChatGPT and asking it what jobs you should consider.

2/ Firmly grasp job titles

Okay, what does a consultant even do? ChatGPT knows and can tell you about any role you’re confused about. Of course, hallucinations are possible, so prompt with care.

But next time you’re stuck wondering if you’re qualified for a role outside your normal nomenclature, consult ChatGPT.

3/ Interview Prep

Congrats, you managed to land an interview through sheer force of will and luck. Don’t get caught looking like the Madagascar penguins when they land in Antarctica.

Have a plan.

ChatGPT (or any chatbot) is an incredible interviewer who can help you take questions you might expect in an upcoming interview. Keep running simulations with your chat AI of choice until you nail it.

4/ Dust off the résumé

It irks me that you have to do the “e” like that, but here we are. Anyways, odds are your experience and wording need a refresher.

Don’t twiddle your thumbs waiting for an idea to strike. Get an AI model to look over the text and provide recommendations.

The notes are easy to copy over, and the pro tip is to show it a job description you’re applying for so you can match keywords. Trust me, that’s going the extra mile.

There we are.

Let me know if you have any prompts or tricks you use with AI to help you search for work. We’re eager to share it with your fellow readers!

Do you scour the U.S. Patent and Trademark website daily to find out what big tech companies are plotting to roll out next?

Neither do we, but luckily our friends at Patent Drop do the work for us. Their team of investigative journalists reads through 100+ patents each week and compiles their findings in a twice-weekly newsletter. This newsletter offers concise and digestible insights that clue us into what we can expect from the companies that are shaping our future, for example:

  • Paypal wants you to watch your language on the phone; they filed a patent for “voice biometric authentication.”

  • Apple wants to get to know your habits with a patent that uses “in-home location awareness.”

Their coverage has attracted over 40,000 subscribers in 2023 (including the team at Inclined AI).

GOOGLE KEEPS UPDATING BARD

Good news, everybody! More Bard updates are coming down the pipeline.

This time, the team behind our favorite third-place finisher is adding better mathematical problem-solving and advanced reasoning. These updates help Bard code for you and handle riddles and other tricks you through at it.

Speaking of coding, Bard can now write the code and launch it from the chatbox. That’s nifty!

Our favorite part is the way they explain the new reasoning in Bard.

The blog post they announced the news in explains what they changed to make Bard handle logic tasks better. It mimics the points made in Daniel Kahneman’s book “Thinking, Fast and Slow.”

To quote the post:

System 1 thinking is fast, intuitive, and effortless. When a jazz musician improvises on the spot, or a touch-typer thinks about a word and watches it appear on the screen, they’re using System 1 thinking.

System 2 thinking, by contrast, is slow, deliberate, and effortful. When you’re carrying out long division or learning how to play an instrument, you’re using System 2.

In this analogy, LLMs can be thought of as operating purely under System 1 — producing text quickly but without deep thought. This leads to some incredible capabilities but can fall short in some surprising ways.

In other words, they want their LLM to slow down and consider some answers before racing to the finish line. We’re unsure they implemented the update because we asked our favorite riddle, “What month has 28 days in it?” And Bard said February.

If you subscribe to our premium newsletter, you know the answer is every month, and ChatGPT nails this question even when you don’t tell it that it’s a riddle.
