Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) when writing job applications:
When one has decided to use the help of AI in writing job application, please note that it is essential to personalise the information, especially in the supporting statement segment of application. AI-generated content does not fully grasp the context and requirements of the job one applies to thus producing inaccurate and misleading statements.Full reliance on AI to write application can hinder chances of success at early stage of selection process as it cannot solely showcase how one’s knowledge, experience and skills meet job requirements. It is important that to give personal touch to supporting statement and strike the balance to avoid it sounding robotic.
We have added a disclaimer to our application process advising that the use of AI is monitored and if applicants have used it then they are required to declare this.
Ordinarily, we accept online job applications only, however, as a part of reasonable adjustments, to meet different needs and requirements and ensure that applicants are able to give their best throughout the recruitment process, consideration will be given to a paper-based application, if requested.Please enquire with [email protected] or pick up an application template in person from our office.
