Build a CV that clears Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and reads well to a human, using AI as your editor — not your ghostwriter.
- Use standard section headings ("Experience", not "Where I've Been").
- Avoid tables, text boxes, and graphics — many ATS systems can't parse them.
- Mirror keywords from the job description, naturally, not just stuffed in.
- Quantify wherever possible — numbers, percentages, timeframes.

2. How do you use AI tools in your work or study?
Sample answer: "I use [tool] for [specific task] — for example, [concrete example with a result]. I always review and fact-check the output before using it, and I'm mindful of not sharing sensitive data in prompts."

Sample answer (STAR): "Situation: [context]. Task: I needed to [what you had to learn/do]. Action: I [how you learned it — courses, AI-assisted research, practice]. Result: [outcome, ideally with a number or timeframe]."
4. How do you check AI-generated work before relying on it?
Sample answer: "I treat AI output as a first draft, not a final answer. I check facts against a primary source, look for bias or missing context, and — for anything client-facing — I always add my own judgement before it goes out."
5. Describe a challenge you overcame and how you approached it.
Sample answer (STAR): "Situation: [context]. Task: [the challenge]. Action: [specific steps you took]. Result: [outcome — quantify if possible]. What I'd do differently: [brief reflection, shows growth]."

8. Tell me about a time you worked in a team under pressure.
Sample answer (STAR): "Situation: [context, e.g. tight deadline]. Task: [your role in the team]. Action: [how you collaborated — communication, dividing work]. Result: [outcome and what it taught you about working under pressure]."
9. Where do you see AI changing this industry in the next 2–3 years?
Sample answer: "I think [industry] will see more AI used for [specific application], which raises the bar on [specific skill]. That's part of why I've focused on building AI fluency now rather than waiting — I want to be someone who can work with these tools from day one, not catch up later."
10. What questions do you have for us?
Sample questions to ask: "What does success look like in this role after 6 months?" / "How is the team currently using AI tools, and where do you see that going?" / "What's the biggest challenge someone in this role would face in their first 90 days?"
