The session focused on how tools like ChatGPT can be applied effectively to improve CVs, cover letters, and interview preparation. Beyond technical usage, the workshop emphasized the importance of maintaining authenticity and aligning applications with expectations in the German job market.
Participants gained hands-on insights into:
- creating strong, personalized application documents
- using effective prompts to get better results from AI
- matching their profiles strategically with job postings
- preparing for interviews through realistic AI-based simulations
A key highlight was the practical, interactive approach. Students were encouraged to work directly with their own materials—such as CVs or job postings—throughout the session. At the end of the workshop, they had the opportunity to test the tools independently and receive individual feedback on their results.
The workshop was led by Tanja Herrmann-Hurtzig, who brought over 30 years of experience in human resources. She shared valuable insights into employer expectations and guided participants in defining application strategies that truly reflect their strengths and career goals.
Overall, the workshop provided not only a solid introduction to AI in the application process but also concrete strategies to make applications more effective, targeted, and confident.
