Let’s be honest, getting a job isn’t easy. Well, getting a job might be quite doable, but you would rather not settle for any job. The right job can open up complete lifestyle changes, like working remotely from anywhere or making much more than you’re making now. But with competition higher than it’s ever been, applying for jobs has become a skill on its own.

The bad news is that just being qualified is no longer enough to get the job you deserve. But the good news is that, like with many skills, using AI in the right way can give you a massive advantage over the rest. Especially when you integrate AI with Google Docs and Google Sheets, which replaces Excel. So how are people using GPT in Google Workspace to land their dream jobs? Well, the possibilities are endless, but some common ways to use AI for your job search are the following:

  • Turn Google Sheets into a cover letter generator
  • Tailoring your resume to the job
  • Use AI to create slides and slide decks

Turn Google Sheets into a cover letter generator

Tailor your resume in Google Sheets or Docs

Your resume is your first point of contact with a prospective employer. Often, a company will judge your resume to judge your fit for the company. That’s why tailoring your resume to appeal to a specific employer or position isn’t a new practice. Unfortunately, tailoring your resume manually can take a long time. That’s why more and more people are turning to AI to tailor their CV to the job offering they want. But how exactly do you do it? Well, with our 5-step guide, it’s a piece of cake!

  1. Open your CV in either Google Sheets or Docs. For this example, we used Google Docs.

  2. Select the entire document or the parts you aim to change.

  3. Choose the rewrite function.

  4. Write how you intend to tailor your CV in the text box. For instance, try: “I want to be CEO of Google. Rewrite my resume to maximize my chances of getting hired.”

  5. Watch your idea come to life.
