How To Land A Job Interview

Today's job seekers don’t need skill, knowledge, or expertise to land a job interview, they need luck and a knowledge of AI. If you are currently applying for work and are one of the 2 percentchosen to advance in the hiring process, you need to be prepared for your interviewee to be an AI bot. Yes, companies are not only using AI to weed through resumés, but they are also using AI to conduct the initial interviews with job seekers.

In the fall, Resume Builder found that nearly all companies utilize AI in some aspect when hiring. More than a third have removed the human element from the hiring process entirely. So, if you land a rare and elusive job interview, you need to conduct in-depth company research. Both human beings and bots can spot an uninformed job seeker from a mile away. If you show up for an interview unprepared, whether online or in-person, it won’t last long.

To make the most out of the opportunity, familiarize yourself with company culture, the products and services they offer, and any technical aspects of the job you applied for. Practice answering questions on camera and keep practicing until you feel comfortable and at ease with your knowledge. You don’t have to become an expert overnight, but you do need to make it clear during a brief interview that you are the right person for the job. 

As many as 250 candidates apply online for every open position, while only 4 to 6 will advance to the next round of the hiring process. In some cases, highly skilled and experienced candidates are applying hundreds of times before managing to land a single job interview. If we are living in an AI world, you need to figure out what it is AI is looking for in a job candidateand edit your resumé accordingly.
