How to Use AI for Job Searching: Getting Past HR Screening Tools

Listen Later

Ever send dozens of job applications and hear nothing back?

AI is screening your application before any human sees it. But you can use AI to get past those filters.

I'm chatting with Dr. Kara Elam, a health policy expert who's been using ChatGPT to navigate a tough job market. She shares how she trains AI to sound like her, writes cold emails that get executive responses, and tackles the blank page of death problem we all face.

This is honest, practical advice for job hunting, which can be so useful when you're juggling applications, family, and save time wherever you can.

"The blank page is scary. AI gives you a starting place." — Dr. Kara Elam
