Die Künstliche Intelligenz verändert die Arbeitswelt und Hochschullehre in rasantem Tempo. Auch der Bewerbungsprozess wandelt sich durch die Künstliche Intelligenz. Doch wie kann ich das als Bewerber:in zu meinem Vorteil nutzen? Wie kann ich mir von der KI beim Bewerbungsprozess für Praktika, Abschlussarbeiten oder den ersten Job helfen lassen und die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Einladung zum Vorstellungsgespräch erhöhen? Auch immer mehr Unternehmen setzten KI und Algorithmen im Bewerbungsprozess ein. Das muss jedoch kein Nachteil für Bewerber:innen sein, wenn dies bei der Bewerbung berücksichtigt wird. In diesem interaktiven Vortrag wollen wir uns den Potenzialen der KI für den Bewerbungsprozess widmen.

Trainer: Kristian Schubert, prozessorientierter Trainer, Supervisor und Coach
