When applying for a job, it's important to recognize the limitations of AI in the recruitment process. While AI can streamline application reviews and enhance efficiency, it may inadvertently introduce biases or overlook unique work experience that human evaluators might appreciate. To ensure a fair and personalized hiring experience, it's crucial to balance AI tools with human oversight. Plagiarism and/or fully AI generated answers may result in the rejection of your application.
