This quiz was created using generative AI. It was reviewed by editors before publication.

Question 1 of 8

What is one major reason AI tools might help older job seekers specifically?

Older applicants often face age bias because employers may assume they are not tech-savvy or because automated résumé-screening systems filter out résumés lacking specific keywords. AI tools help address this issue by improving keyword usage and presenting applicants as more tech-aware.

Question 2 of 8

On average, what percentage of people who use ChatGPT for résumés or cover letters receive an interview, according to a survey from Resume Builder?

Forty-six percent of job seekers use ChatGPT to write application materials, and 78 percent of those users receive an interview. This statistic highlights AI’s potential to enhance job-hunting success.

Question 3 of 8


What do tools like Talentprise, Talentpair or Jobscan primarily help with?

These tools utilize AI to analyze your résumé, match it to relevant job opportunities and optimize it with relevant keywords to pass applicant-tracking systems.

Question 4 of 8

Why should job seekers edit AI-generated résumés and cover letters before sending them to employers?

AI can be extremely helpful for phrasing, tone and structure, but users should not send raw AI-generated documents to employers. Edit them to ensure accuracy, completeness and correctness.

Question 5 of 8

Which of the following is an advantage of using AI for company research?

AI tools can provide fast summaries of a company’s history, marketing priorities, stock prices and news, saving significant time. However, users still need to verify the accuracy of the information.

Question 6 of 8

What is one limitation of using AI for salary negotiations?

AI is good for gathering information efficiently but not for providing a negotiation script or conducting negotiations. Job seekers need to use AI as a resource, not a replacement.

Question 7 of 8

Why is being specific in your prompts important when using generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini?

The usefulness of AI outputs depends on prompt quality. Adding context, background and clarity helps the tool refine its answer, making the results more accurate and helpful. 

Question 8 of 8

What is one recommended practice to ensure AI-generated information is reliable?

It’s important to fact-check AI results because generative tools may include errors or fabricated details. One strategy is to ask for a bibliography to make verification easier.
