Well, if not you….

… perhaps ChatGPT can help.

ie:

“…To test its capabilities, Insider fed the bot with real job descriptions for a social media assistant role and a ledger clerk position, plus some sentences of made-up personal experience. After it spat out some ersatz cover letters, they got real hiring managers to take a look at the result. Their responses were insightful — but mixed.

“We would likely think this was written by a genuine candidate and follow up with a screening call,” recruitment expert Chris Willsher told Insider. “The structure of the letter is good, but it lacks some detail around the company they’re applying for.”

Another hiring manager agreed that the ledger-clerk letter was good, but criticized its social media assistant write-up.

“Their writing style is not what I would expect from someone in that role,” director of talent attraction Stephanie Petry told the site. “Their tone is too formal and dry, and I’d expect them to show more creativity and character.”

Ultimately, both hiring managers agreed that ChatGPT’s letters were likely good enough to land an interview for at least the ledger clerk position, but were overall missing a distinctly human spark.

“It lacks the personal touch where we learn about a candidate’s human experiences, anecdotal evidence to back up their skills, and passion for the role,” Willsher told the outlet.

While Insider didn’t share exactly what the chatbot wrote in either of the cover letters, our own findings echo the hiring manager’s takeaways. We asked ChatGPT to write a cover letter for a social media assistant job at the San Francisco Giants sports team, inputting the job description provided on its website.

“Dear [Hiring Manager], I am excited to apply for the Social Media Assistant position with the San Francisco Giants,” the chatbot wrote. “As a lifelong Giants fan and experienced social media professional, I believe I am uniquely qualified for this role.”

We never told the bot to say it’s a Giants fan, but it’s endearing that it has seemingly as much of a penchant for bullshitting its way into a job as much as a human does….”

Something indeed to consider.

Enjoy!
