Week 3- Using AI as a Career Coach

I find using AI for assignment to be very interesting considering a lot of the time professors prohibit you from using it. However, I believe there are many ways to use it as a source for information and research, and the way that it has advance is today fascinating. 

I was already familiar with ChatGPT before starting this assignment but was interested in exploring with the other sources that were given, most of which I have never heard of. I mainly focused on experimenting with Claude and Copilot, along with ChatGPT. 

For each outlet I used this prompt:

“I am about to graduate from college with a degree in media entrepreneurship. I want to find an entry level position social media management job in the beauty or wellness industry. What skills do I need to demonstrate? What kinds of artifacts should I have to show I have those skills? What are some resources that I should pursue to help me learn about what I need to do to find my first industry social media job?”

I know that I want to work in social media management, but am not completely sure what industry yet, so I just put beauty and wellness, as those are two things I am interested in, as a specific industry for now. 

After getting my answers from each AI site, I noticed there was quite a similarity in the responses. I noticed that Copilot and ChatGPT gave me a response in more of a similar format, and Claude answered in more of a list format. As for the specificalities of the responses, ChatGPT and Claude, both gave me specifics of what types of skills I will need to an entry level job in my field, like content creation experience, trend awareness, management skills, and being able to analyze and report analytics. However, I found it interesting that they both also gave me resources and examples about things I can do to network, learn specific creative skills, and job searching outlets. I also found it interesting that I didn’t necessarily have to ask for other questions to get information outside of my original prompt.

In the end, I feel that I can use AI as a tool in my future job searching, and possibly other things like resumes and research. I already knew a lot of the skill that AI told me in order to go into an entry level job in social media, but it was refreshing to get more clarity. I feel that last week I was felt like I learned a lot from our assignment, but now I feel more comfortable with the topics I am talking about. I also enjoy the format of the assignments of this class and feel that I am not just doing an assignment for a grade, but am able to actually learn something from them.
