‘This is changing lives’ – Career expert explains why you should use ChatGPT to prepare for an interview

OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been used to pen-hit Eurovision songs, prep church sermons and diagnose patients.

But the AI chatbot might also help regular folks land their dream job.

A life coach on TikTok has a new use for the AI, which she says is ‘changing lives.’ 

Namely, ask ChatGPT to use the job description to come up with possible interview questions and answers in advance of the real thing.

‘That was dramatic, but it is changing lives,’ career coach Darci Smith told her followers on the platform.

‘ChatGPT is free and will work wonders for your interview prep!’

But now a life coach, Darci Smith, who goes by @careercoachdarci on TikTok, has a new use for the AI, which she says is ‘changing lives.’ She recommends having ChatGPT draft a mock interview in advance: ‘Copy and paste the entire job description [and] put it into ChatGPT’

‘If you’re interviewing and you’re not doing this, pay attention,’ said Smith, who goes by @careercoachdarci on TikTok, ‘because it is the easiest, the most important thing to do when prepping for an interview.’ 

‘Whatever the job description is, copy and paste it,’ Smith said. ‘Copy and paste the entire job description [and] put it into ChatGPT.’

Then, as the career coach explained, you ask the AI chatbot to come up with potential questions you might get asked.  

Her recommended prompt: ‘If I were the interviewer for this position, what questions should I ask a candidate?’

‘Then, you — as the candidate — are going to get all the questions that are probably going to be asked based on that job description.’ 

But here’s where the hack goes from merely helpful to ‘life-changing.’ 

‘What do you do?’ Smith continued. ‘You turn it around. You put those questions in, and then you say, ‘As the candidate, how would I answer these questions?”

The incredible power of ChatGPT has struck fear into the hearts of some, leading to worries that they may lose their job and be replaced by a robot. Some tech leaders, like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, believe the rapid advancements in AI pose a ‘profound risk to society’

The incredible power of ChatGPT has struck fear into the hearts of some, leading to worries that they may lose their job and be replaced by a robot.

Some tech leaders, like Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and the late Stephen Hawking, believe the rapid advancements in AI pose a ‘profound risk to society and humanity’.  

But others, like Bill Gates and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, hail it as the ‘most important’ innovation of our time, saying it could solve climate change, cure cancer and enhance productivity.

Some employees admitted earlier this year that they are using ChatGPT to work multiple full-time jobs.

These extra-full-time workers refer to themselves as ‘overemployed’, because the tool allows them to complete the workload of each role in at least half the time.

Before you’ve even shown up and shaken hands, Smith said, ‘Your interview’s done. You know everything.’ 

‘Best hack ever,’ she said emphatically, ‘and I will die on this hill.’

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are certainly impressive at their ability to perform complicated tasks once thought only capable to humans.

The revolutionary ChatGPT has been used to pass exams, deliver a sermon, write software and give relationship advice — to name just a handful of its functions.

But, for some people, these technologies have raised a scary question — could they take my job?
