If you are going for a job interview soon, the following should interest you. Daniel Shapero, chief operating officer of LinkedIn, revealed to our colleagues at Fortune a question increasingly asked of candidates by recruiters. Let’s take stock.
“Are you comfortable with AI?”
The manager makes no secret of the theme increasingly addressed during these decisive meetings: generative AI. And the COO clarified:
One of the most common interview questions asked by employers this year was: “Tell me a story about how you used AI in your workplace or at home,” and it demonstrates that if you’re comfortable with AI, you’re more likely to help their organization become more AI-centric.
Among the most frequent responses according to him: “We hear about people planning family trips, people summarizing meeting notes. We hear about people generating creative ideas for clients. So there’s a very wide range of things that AI can be used for. »
Clearly, there is no ready-made response, but you must adapt to the situation. Employers seem to be primarily seeking reassurance by recruiting people who are comfortable with these emerging technologies, as they are likely to be important in many professions in the future, not just in management or management positions. direction.
According to a recent LinkedIn survey, this can clearly make a difference. In fact, 64% of employees say they are overwhelmed by the pace and changes that have recently occurred in their work due to the implementation of AI.
Mistakes to avoid during an interview
In addition to this problem, we can recall this study carried out by the Ringover company. More than 1,000 recruiters were surveyed to find out what horrifies them most about a person applying. 35.8% cited arriving late for an interview.
Likewise, the absence of visual contact with the interlocutor is also frowned upon by 33.7% of participants in this survey. Among the other complaints addressed to job seekers, we also find the lack of politeness towards other employees (30.8%), inappropriate clothing (29.6%), or forgetting the CV (26.4%).
