Why Study This Course?
Do you want to make a stronger impression with your job applications? Are you interested in learning how AI can support you in presenting your experience more effectively?
This engaging two-hour workshop looks at practical ways Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help you review, fine-tune, and adapt your cover letters for different opportunities.
Aimed at learners who have completed our How to Write an Effective Cover Letter workshop, this session focuses on using AI as a support tool to improve your written applications. Rather than creating content for you, AI will be used to help you reflect on, refine, and adapt what you have written, ensuring your applications remain genuine and personal. The session includes a short introduction, followed by guided, hands-on activities in the computer room.
During the session, you will:
Understand the appropriate role of AI in supporting your job applications
Use AI tools to review and improve the quality of your cover letters
Identify ways to strengthen tone, organisation, and overall impact
Adapt your cover letter to match specific job requirements more effectively
Build confidence in reviewing AI feedback and making your own informed edits
By the end of the workshop, you will feel more confident using AI as a tool to polish your cover letters while ensuring they genuinely reflect your skills, experience, and interest in the role.
Completion of the How to Write a Winning CV workshop.
