Season 8, Episode 4

In this episode of Talking FACS, we delve into the significant impact of AI on the job search process with expert guest Amy Gamblin, the Associate Director of Alumni Career Services.

Amy and host Mindy McCulley discuss how AI tools like ChatGPT can serve as personal assistants in job hunting, offering support in areas such as career path suggestions, resume writing, interview preparation, and salary negotiations. While exploring the advantages AI provides, they also address common misconceptions, emphasizing that AI should supplement rather than replace personal strategies and authenticity.

The conversation explores practical advice, including privacy tips and the importance of crafting quality prompts to optimize AI usage. Despite the benefits, Amy underscores that AI cannot substitute real human interaction and networking—key elements in successful job searching.

Join us as we examine the balance between leveraging AI technology and maintaining a genuine personal touch in navigating your career journey.
