Couple

Couple weeks ago I interviewed for a role I’ve been doing for a few years. I’ve bounced around enough to build a wide range of experience, so I know a decent amount of the ins and outs. But for this Teams interview, I decided to treat the whole thing like an experiment: I used ChatGPT to help shape my answers. For context, I’ve been training it for about a year with real scenarios from my job, my resume, and the tone I naturally use. At this point, it knows my work history and communication style almost as well as I do. This wasn’t a quick two‑day prompt session, it’s been a long, intentional process. Well… yesterday I got the offer. Honestly, I wasn’t emotionally invested in the outcome. I mainly wanted to see how hard it actually is to get hired right now, and whether the version of me that AI has learned could hold its own in a real interview. I also got an email from the person who will be my supervisor someone who sat in on the interview saying they were very impressed with my resume and skill set. What stood out to me is how much of hiring isn’t about whether you can do the job, it’s about how clearly you can explain that you can do the job. The work itself hasn’t changed, but the way you package your experience matters more than people admit. Training the model forced me to break down my responsibilities, my decisions, and the impact of my work in a way I normally don’t stop to articulate.
