Using AI in Your Job Search Responsibly

Where AI helps

Comparing your CV with a job description to see strengths and gaps quickly.
Producing a first draft of a tailored CV, cover letter or screening answer, so you are editing rather than starting from a blank page.
Keeping things organised, such as which version of your CV you sent where.

Where you need to stay in charge

Facts. Every claim must be true. Check dates, titles, numbers and skills.
Voice. Edit drafts so they sound like you. You will need to talk about them in an interview.
Sensitive questions. Answer questions about right to work, salary, health or personal circumstances yourself.
Submitting. Read the full application before you press submit.

Five habits

Start from your own, accurate CV.
Treat every AI output as a draft.
Remove anything you cannot evidence.
Keep a record of what you sent to each employer.
Submit applications yourself.

How Ajira is designed

Ajira drafts from the CV you saved, and you review, edit and approve every CV, cover letter and answer before using it. The Chrome companion fills only supported, non-sensitive text fields, and Ajira never submits applications for you.

Frequently asked questions

Is it acceptable to use AI to write a cover letter?

Many people use AI to produce a first draft. What matters is that the final letter is accurate, specific to the role and in your own words.

Can employers tell if I used AI?

Generic, unedited text is often easy to spot. Editing drafts so they include your specific evidence and voice is the best approach either way.
