Artificial intelligence chatbots such as Bing AI and Google Bard offer help with everything from generating code to translating text to simplifying complex topics. They can also be useful when it's time to find a job. Wherever you are in your job search, you can turn to these tools for some help landing the role you want.
The usual disclaimers apply here: These chatbots are still prone to inaccuracies and falsehoods, so never take what they say as 100 percent correct (at least not until you've checked it out from another source.) For more details, read about how LLMs actually work.
Also, these tips apply to whichever chatbot you prefer, whether it's Bing AI, Google Bard, ChatGPT, or another one—pick your favorite and get going.

One of the ways AI chatbots can be most useful is in getting you to think a little bit differently, whether you're working on a product launch or a new novel. Chatbots can't actually be creative or get inspiration like human beings can, but they are able to make connections that you might not otherwise come up with on your own.
If you're looking to break free from a particular job sector or are finding it difficult getting a role in your chosen field, a chatbot can point you toward similar positions that you might also be interested in and qualified for, just in different industries or fields. You can tailor your prompt to include details of skills required or your desired salary if you need to—personalize it as you see fit.
For example, we tried this query: "I'm a teacher. What other jobs use similar skills and offer similar pay, but aren't teaching jobs?" We got back several interesting options, as well as some handy advice for thinking about how to switch between jobs and transfer our skills. You might also want to include criteria such as working remotely or working flexible hours.
