Use of AI in your application
We value authenticity and transparency. Task three requires the use of AI tools. The other tasks (tasks one and two) do not. If you want your application to stand out, using a generic AI-generated response for tasks one and two isn’t going to separate you from the crowd, even if it promises to personalise the response.
If you do use AI for tasks one and two, it should enhance your written application and showcase your best self. It’s not about creating a persona that isn’t you. Whilst we do not prohibit the use of AI in job applications, we caution the following:
- AI-generated content may lack specificity and fail to address key criteria outlined in the job description.
- Personalisation is essential to convey individual skills, knowledge, and experiences effectively.
- Over reliance on AI-generated content is discouraged and may diminish the applicant’s chances of success.
- Where AI has been used, we ask applicants to declare this in their applications in the interests of transparency.
