How to Use GenAI in Your Gecko Application
Use AI tools to help you craft and refine your documents, such as your CV or cover letter. However, please ensure they accurately reflect your genuine skills and experiences.
AI can also help you practice common interview questions, but be sure your responses are authentically your own and not overly rehearsed.
And remember to showcase how you’ve used AI in past roles or projects. This demonstrates that you’re not just aware of AI but can apply it practically.
