Over the weekend, I spoke to a reader that was unsure about his current position.
He has a job interview this week, and it sounds exciting!
We discussed his strategy to stand out and land the position.
I recommend using ChatGPT during his process (with emphasis on curiosity).
To my surprise, he had never used ChatGPT before!
He agreed to give it a try, and 5 minutes later, he sent me this message.
20 questions to ask his potential employer about the position
In just a few moments, he was able to build an entire interview strategy!
You see, most people just think ChatGPT is just Google.
You just search.
But it is SO MUCH MORE.
It’s a PHD in your pocket. There to assist you in your most complex and contextual problems.
If you have not used ChatGPT yet, I encourage you.
Download it, it’s free.
Use it 10 minutes daily this week.
Report back to me with your results.
I think you’re in for a shocking surprise at what’s possible.
