A TikToker Showed How ChatGPT Can Help People Prepare for Job Interviews — and Users Say it Works

A TikToker named Hanna Goefft, known as “hanna gets hired,” has gained popularity for sharing a video demonstrating how to use OpenAI’s ChatGPT for job interview preparation. Users have been loving her tips, considering it the easiest way to prepare for interviews that has worked for every job.

Hanna, a firm believer in working smarter rather than harder, is always eager to explore new technologies that can help others succeed in their job search.

In her TikTok video, she shows how to input a job description into the chatbot, request it to generate interview questions for each point, and analyze the description for the top 10 keywords. The chatbot responds by providing sample interview questions and a list of important words or phrases.

According to Hanna, candidates should then brainstorm answers to the interview questions, making sure they align with the keywords. This allows job seekers to emphasize the most relevant experience rather than solely focusing on projects they are proud of.

Hanna emphasizes that while she finds ChatGPT a valuable collaborative brainstorming partner, its output is not flawless and should not be solely relied upon. She suggests using the chatbot’s content as a starting point.

Since posting the video in March, it has garnered over 2 million views, and TikTok users are enthusiastic about this hack. Many have reported success, with one user sharing that they were flown to another state for a second interview at their dream job after using this method.

ChatGPT has proven to be useful for job-seekers in other ways as well. It can generate convincing cover letters and assist in updating resumes, saving candidates time. However, experts have noted that while AI-generated cover letters may pass as genuine, they tend to lack personality.
Interestingly, some employers are actively looking for candidates who utilize AI in their job applications. Recruiting experts have observed that AI-generated cover letters are becoming easier to spot.
