Introduction
Job hunting is stressful enough without wrestling with a blank page every time you draft a cover letter or prep for an interview. This course treats AI as a research assistant and practice partner for your job search — not a replacement for your own judgment or voice.

- ✓Where AI genuinely helps versus where it can quietly hurt your chances
- ✓How to tailor resume bullets to a specific job posting
- ✓How to run AI-powered mock interviews
What You Will Build or Accomplish
You’ll leave with a reusable process: a tailoring prompt for resume bullets, a mock-interview prompt you can run before any interview, and a flexible three-part structure for answering “Tell me about yourself.”
