How do I use AI tools effectively for the job search?

AI tools can concretely help with: CV analysis and keyword identification, cover letter first drafts (which you heavily revise), interview preparation through simulation, salary research, and market analysis. LinkedIn Skills on the Rise: AI literacy is the most sought-after new competency — using AI tools demonstrates precisely this competency. Objection per EU AI Act: as an applicant, you have the right to know if your application is evaluated by AI. OECD AI Principles: AI should support people, not replace them — this applies to both sides of the process. Quality rule: AI-generated text without personal revision is recognisably generic. Your real value as a candidate — experience, results, personality — no AI tool can invent for you.
