Office FAQs

The hybrid working model will differ depending on the region and the requirements of the department. It is typically up to the Line Manager’s discretion.

AI can be useful for supporting parts of your application and interview prep, from top tips to sentence tweaks.

But there are downsides to relying on it too much. We can spot an AI-generated response from a mile away, so here’s some advice on how to use AI wisely and help your application stand out.

How to use AI

AI can help you get the ball rolling on your application, like creating a first draft of a CV or cover letter, checking structure, or spotting spelling errors. It can also support interview preparation, like practising answers with the STAR technique. When used as a guide rather than a replacement for your own work, AI can help you feel more prepared and confident throughout the application and interview process.

How not to use AI

Although AI can be a useful tool to get your application started, it works best as a support rather than something to rely on. We want to get to know the real you, and AI-generated answers often sound generic. The same goes for task work – you'll get the most out of the process if you fully understand what you’ve produced and can talk about it confidently. 

When you use AI as a tool and not as a shortcut, you’ll give yourself the best chance of standing out.

Please note: Avoid sharing personal or sensitive details with AI, as it may store and use the information you provide.
