Frequently asked questions
Can AI apply for jobs for me?
Some services claim to; we don't recommend mass auto-applying, as employers notice generic applications.
How do I spot fake job adverts?
Be wary of anyone asking for money, bank details or ID before an interview. Check the company exists on its own website.
