How to Use AI for an Interview: Tools, Tips & Best Practices​

AI can help you prepare — but it won’t get you hired.

Artificial Intelligence has completely changed the way we prepare for jobs. From writing CVs to practicing interviews, AI can act as your 24/7 assistant — fast, efficient, and always available.

It can help you structure your résumé, tailor it to specific roles, generate potential interview questions, and even simulate a recruiter’s point of view. Tools like ChatGPT, ResumAI, Kickresume, and Teal (for job tracking) can make your job search more efficient and organized.

But here’s the truth: AI won’t get you hired.

Why AI Alone Isn’t Enough

AI will give you structure — but not substance. It can generate lists of questions or suggest polished bullet points, but it can’t teach you how to think, how to communicate your story, or how to stand out from the crowd.

Hiring managers can spot generic AI-generated responses immediately. What they’re really evaluating is you — your mindset, your problem-solving ability, and your personality.

Because companies don’t hire algorithms. They hire people.

According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report (2025), the fastest-growing skills companies are looking for aren’t technical — they’re human:

  • Communication and collaboration
  • Analytical thinking and creativity
  • Adaptability, leadership, and emotional intelligence
 

As AI and automation take over more repetitive tasks, soft skills have become your real competitive advantage.

What AI Can Help You With

AI can be an incredible ally if used the right way — as your assistant, not your replacement. 

Here’s how to use AI strategically during your job search:

AI for Productivity & Structure

AI can help you organize and speed up your job search:

  • Use ChatGPT or Claude to build a personalized job search action plan.
  • Summarize company research (mission, culture, recent news) in seconds.
  • Generate potential interview questions by company, level, or function.
  • Track applications with AI-powered tools like Teal, Huntr, or SimplifyJobs.

AI for CVs & Cover Letters

AI tools can help you craft targeted, well-written applications:

  • Tools like ResumAI, Kickresume, or Enhancv can rephrase your bullet points and tailor your CV to specific roles.

  • Use prompts such as:

    “Rewrite my CV bullet points using data-driven action verbs for a [role] at [company].”

Let AI help with formatting and consistency, but always edit for authenticity — AI gives you a draft; you bring the voice.

AI for Job Hunting

AI can also make your search smarter, not harder:

  • Use ChatGPT to ask insider-style questions like:

    “What are the main challenges [company] is facing in 2025?”

  • Automate LinkedIn searches or create message templates — but customize them to sound human.

Use AI to find job matches, but rely on your own curiosity and initiative to build real connections.

AI for Interview Preparation

AI can help you simulate real interview environments and practice key frameworks:

  • Generate mock interview questions for behavioral, cognitive (GCA), or technical interviews.
  • Practice with AI voice agents, such as #GetHired (our own Gogotechy AI coach), to simulate real conversations.
  • Use frameworks like STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and our NAILED™ Methodology to structure answers and refine storytelling.

However, remember: AI can’t replicate real-world judgment. It won’t teach you how to think critically under pressure, connect emotionally with interviewers, or display confidence naturally. That’s where human coaching still wins.

What AI Can’t Do (and Never Should)

AI has limits — and overreliance on it can actually hurt your chances:

  • It can’t build your network or follow up authentically.
  • It can’t show curiosity, passion, or cultural fit.
  • It can’t replicate real-life confidence or spontaneity.

Recruiters can easily spot when responses sound mechanical or overly polished. The secret?

AI is the draft. You are the editor.

The Winning Formula: AI + Human Skills

The most successful candidates use AI for structure and rely on human skills for substance.


That’s exactly where Gogotechy comes in.

We combine AI-powered tools with human expertise to help you truly stand out. Through our NAILED™ Methodology, 50+ insider-led courses, and the GetHired AI voice agent, you’ll learn how to:

  • Communicate your value with confidence
  • Build your professional storytelling
  • Master interviews with real, data-backed frameworks

AI can prepare you — but it’s your attitude, curiosity, and authenticity that get you hired.

Use technology to your advantage, but remember: the real difference is you.
Your empathy, your energy, and your ability to connect will always be what convinces a hiring manager to say:

“I want this person on my team.”
