Jobstreet, a leading online employment platform operated by SEEK, and GEN8, a specialist generative AI consultancy, today announced the launch of ‘AI for JobSEEKers’, an innovative web series exploring the responsible and strategic use of AI throughout a job search. The six-episode series will be available exclusively on Career Hub within the Jobstreet app in Singapore, Malaysia, and The Philippines from September 16th.
Hosted by GEN8 founder Tim Sharp, ‘AI for JobSEEKers’ addresses a critical need for AI fluency in today’s rapidly-evolving job market, guiding viewers through the strategic, effective and responsible use of AI across a job search.
“Generative AI is here, upending traditional job searches with both great opportunities and major unknowns,” says Sharp. “We’re hoping to bridge a critical knowledge gap between AI capabilities and limitations, demonstrating how to leverage common tools effectively and, above all, responsibly throughout a job search. The series aims to empower job seekers in harnessing AI’s potential, like finding better matches or simply staying on top of multiple applications, while navigating risks, from privacy to authenticity.”
The series covers:
- Discovering Opportunities: Like using Jobstreet’s AI-powered platform to find great roles while protecting personal data
- Optimising Resumes: Leveraging large language models (like ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini) or specialist career tech (like Teal) to tailor applications while maintaining authenticity
- Crafting Cover Letters: Using Generative AI for inspiration and structure while preserving a genuine, personal voice
- Preparing for Interviews: Practising with AI-driven platforms like Konfidence.ai to build confidence, while retaining individual communication styles
- Enhancing Online Presence: Improving professional profiles to boost visibility, without compromising privacy
- Managing Applications: Introducing tech-savvy job seekers to AI-powered automation platforms like Zapier for efficient, responsible organisation and follow-up
Throughout, the series emphasises critical aspects of responsible AI use, including data protection, maintaining authenticity, and the irreplaceable role of human judgement in career decisions.
Bryan Seah, Regional Head of Content from SEEK Asia commented: “Career Hub is very excited about this new Originals’ collaboration with Tim. AI is not just a fad and is here to stay as a vital tool in the jobseeking and hiring process. We hope this new series will guide our jobseekers to deploy these new tools effectively and responsibly in their career. Users who complete this video course will also earn a certificate of completion from Jobstreet. This aligns with Jobstreet’s commitment to empower jobseekers and promote safe ethical practices in the employment landscape.”
Upon completion, users receive a digital certificate co-branded by Jobstreet and GEN8, recognizing their commitment to responsible AI use in job seeking – a valuable addition to their professional profile.
