In an era where nearly every job seeker is using AI to help with job applications, many candidates worry that their applications aren’t being seen or that they sound just like everyone else. This workshop teaches UCLA alumni how to use AI strategically to stand out, not blend in.
Participants will learn how employers use AI in hiring, how to avoid generic AI-generated language and how to enhance their unique professional voice through smarter prompting. We’ll walk through practical tools for tailoring applications, strengthening LinkedIn visibility and using AI to accelerate—not replace—the human elements that make a candidate memorable. Participants will leave with three actionable steps they can take in the next month to elevate their job search using AI.
