AI tools like chatbots and virtual assistants can support your application process by checking for spelling or grammar errors and helping you decide what to include. However, they should not replace your responses or be used to write your application for you. Overreliance on AI can negatively impact your chances, as automatically generated answers may not be specific, relevant, or personalized enough, and could misrepresent your qualifications, skills, or experience. Applications are monitored for unfair advantages, and references are checked carefully. Be honest and ensure all information is accurate, as you will likely be tested on your experience during the interview.
