Ioannis Vasileios Chremos, Ph.D.

Generative AI (GenAI) tools can be powerful aids in career exploration and the job search process—but they also come with risks and limitations. Knowing when, where, and how to use these tools effectively can help you gain an edge while ensuring your applications remain authentic and professional. In this workshop, we will explore examples, practice AI-assisted job search strategies, and critically evaluate AI-generated content to understand both its strengths and shortcomings. By the end of the session, you will have practical experience with GenAI tools and a clear understanding of how to use them wisely—without letting them take over your job search.


Goals

  • To demystify the role of GenAI in job searching, highlighting both its strengths and limitations and to provide hands-on experience, equipping you with strategies to leverage GenAI responsibly in your job search.
  • To demonstrate practical applications of GenAI for career exploration, resume writing, cover letters, and interview preparation—while identifying where AI-generated content can fall short or be misleading.
