Hi Reader
I’ve learned something interesting that I want to share with you: the real magic of AI isn’t in the tool itself — it’s in how you talk to it.
You won’t be replaced by AI – at least not yet – but the truth is, the people who know how to use it will have the advantage.
Right now, it’s simple: either learn it and stay in the game or ignore it and risk being left behind.
In this issue:
• Why AI gives you a real advantage in your job or job search
• How to integrate AI into your daily tasks
• How to craft prompts that actually work
• My conversation with an AI expert who shares smart hacks for CV writing and interview prep
I’m old-fashioned. I love paper books, writing with a pen (if only we could still use quills!), and solving problems from scratch. But even I’ve had to accept the fact that using AI can make a real difference. If I use it carefully, it can make my work easier and smarter—without switching my brain off.
Why Use AI in Your Job or Job Search
Daily tasks are usually predictable. If you’re working, you might be attending meetings, taking follow-up actions, creating documents, monitoring processes, and so on. If you’re job hunting, you’re probably scrolling through job boards, applying, tweaking your CV and cover letter, and practising interviews.
AI tools can help you spend less time on admin and more time on the work that matters.
How to Leverage AI in Daily Work
Here are a few tools I personally recommend:
• For writing and communication: Notion AI, ChatGPT, Grammarly
• For research and brainstorming: Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, NotebookLM
• For CVs and interview prep: Rezi, Teal, Google Interview Warmup, Yoodli
These can save hours of your time while increasing the quality of your output.
The idea isn’t to let AI do everything — it’s to help you do things faster and better.
Hone Your Prompt Writing Skills
AI is only as smart as the instructions you give it. Most AI tools can become useless or produce vague answers if you don’t give the right instructions. How you talk to AI matters.
Compare these two prompts:
❌ “I have an upcoming interview for a sales manager role, what could they ask me?”
✅ “I have an upcoming interview for a Sales Manager role. You are a hiring manager with over 10 years of experience at X Company, and you’re looking for someone who can do X, Y, Z. Based on this role, provide: 5 behavioural interview questions that assess my leadership, relationship-building, and strategic thinking skills. 5 technical interview questions that evaluate my sales expertise, business acumen, and ability to deliver results.”
The second prompt gives context, expectations, and structure—so the result is far more useful.
In my chat with Nadia Theron, she shares how to create prompts that work for you—and even introduces an AI tool that writes prompts for you. Think of it as AI teaching AI what to do. Clever, right?
