AI starter kit for work & career
At work, AI is best used for the jobs that drain your time and confidence: tailoring a CV, rehearsing interview answers, or finding the right tone for an awkward email. It's quick, and you stay in control of every word. Keep confidential company information out of tools your employer hasn't approved, and never let it invent experience you don't have.
Where should I start?
If you want AI to help with work & career, start with Claude or ChatGPT – both have free plans – and try these three beginner-friendly tasks first: refresh your cv for a specific job; practise for a job interview; write a cover letter.
