Da AI’ens output er en generel beskrivelse af, hvordan MAN kan tale om de udvalgte kompetencer, er du nødt til selv at komme på banen. Ellers taler du bare jobopslaget og virksomheden efter munden, og det vil ikke fortælle dem noget om dig og din profil (hvilket netop er det du ønsker).

Sådan gør du
Brug outputtet som inspiration og tænk over, hvordan du kan vise, at du kan arbejde med de nævnte kompetenceområder. Hvad har du af relevant erfaring (fx relevante semesterprojekter), og hvilke muligheder ser du fremadrettet i arbejdet med og udviklingen af de forskellige tematikker?

Det er altid vigtigt at forholde sig kritisk til de oplysninger, som du får fra en generativ AI. Den er ikke ekspert på alle områder, men den er høflig og vil sjældent sige, at den ikke har det svar, du søger. I stedet kan den finde på at opfinde et svar. Forhold dig derfor kritisk og sørg for at kvalitetstjekke det output, som modellen giver dig.

Husk også, at det svar, vi ser i dialogen her, ikke er det eneste svar på det spørgsmål, der stilles i prompten, men ét bud iblandt mange andre, man også kunne have kommet med. Så tag det for hvad det er: ét bud og måske ikke det rigtige (for dig), men måske kan svaret og dialogen inspirere dig til at tænke nyt og anderledes.

Copilot
Thank you for sharing your draft, Pernille. It’s a strong starting point, and with a few enhancements, it can be even more compelling. Here are five ideas to improve your cover letter:

1. Personalize Your Opening: Your current opening is good, but consider starting with a powerful personal anecdote that connects your passion for community and volunteer work with the mission of Frivilligcenter Slagelse. This can immediately engage the reader and set a personal tone.

2. Highlight Specific Skills: You’ve mentioned your academic background and experience with project work. To strengthen this, pinpoint specific skills you’ve acquired, such as conflict resolution, strategic planning, or digital communication, and relate them directly to the job’s requirements.

3. Quantify Your Impact: Where possible, quantify your achievements. For example, instead of saying “I have experience with problembaseret projektarbejde,” you could say “I successfully led a team of 10 in a project that increased volunteer retention by 20%.”

4. Show Your Understanding of the Role: Demonstrate a clear understanding of the role by discussing how you would approach the two key projects mentioned in the job description. Offer a brief vision or a specific strategy that shows you’ve thought about what you can bring to the role.

5. Close with a Call to Action: End your cover letter by expressing your eagerness to discuss how your skills and experiences align with the center’s goals in an interview. This shows initiative and confidence.

Remember, the goal of the cover letter is to make the reader want to learn more about you. Each paragraph should serve a purpose and move the narrative forward, showcasing why you are the ideal candidate for the position. Good luck!

Copilots råd  er slet ikke dårlige, men de er også ret overordnede, og det er op til dig selv at finde ud af, hvordan du skal føre rådene ud i livet.

Husk, at Copilots træningsdata primært består af engelsk, så dens råd ofte stammer fra engelske og amerikanske tilgange til emnet.

I dette tilfælde er det vigtigt at have for øje, at jobsøgning som disciplin kan variere meget mellem forskellige kulturer. Derfor skal du ikke nødvendigvis tage alle rådene for gode varer. Brug dem som inspiration og reflekter over, hvilke du selv kan stå inde for, så din ansøgning fortsat bliver personlig.

I eksemplet her er det tydeligt, at selvom Copilot kommer med nogle gode generelle råd og idéer, så rammer den også markant forbi. Fx ved at foreslå en ph.d. i international business eller et doktorstipendiat.

Man ville ved at fortsætte dialogen formentlig kunne guide Copilot til at kunne komme med endnu bedre svar, men det vil kræve, at man netop selv reflekterer kritisk over dens forslag og dels forholder sig til, om de er realistiske, men også om de er ønskværdige ift. det, som man personligt synes er interessant og relevant.

Så selvom Copilot kan give gode bud og inspirere til nye tanker, undgår man ikke at have mennesket med i AI-processen, og det giver ikke mening at forestille sig en iteration af prompts og svar, som vil være gavnlige og gældende for alle cand.mag'er i Dansk.

Question 1
Can you share an example of a sustainability project you’ve worked on in the past? What was your role, and what impact did the project have?

Det er altid vigtigt at forholde sig kritisk til det output, du får fra en generativ AI. Det, du kan se i dialogen ovenfor, er hverken svaret på, hvilke spørgsmål du vil møde til samtalen eller svar på, hvilke spørgsmål der oftest stilles – men nok noget et sted midt imellem.

Sprogmodellen bag Copilot har læst en masse om rekruttering og jobsamtaler og kombinerer dette med det konkrete opslag for at komme med et generelt bud på spørgsmål til et specifikt jobopslag.

Spørgsmålene kommer med stor sandsynlighed fra en angelsaksisk kulturel forståelse af, hvad god rekruttering indebærer, hvilket ikke nødvendigvis stemmer overens med en dansk eller nordisk tilgang.

Den kender ikke mere til konteksten end det opslag, vi har fodret den med. Den ved fx ikke, hvilken situation virksomheden står i, hvorfor de rekrutterer lige nu, hvad de specifikt leder efter eller hvilke målsætninger de har. Men bemærk, at den faktisk efterspørger denne viden i starten af dialogen for netop at kvalificere dens mulige svar.

Så tag det for, hvad det er – det er et forslag, og det hele er fiktivt. Men når det er sagt, så stiller den en række spørgsmål, som det vil være gavnligt at reflektere over inden samtalen.

Sokrates var en klassisk græsk filosof, der betragtes som en af de grundlæggende skikkelser i den vestlige filosofi. Han levede i Athen fra ca. 470 f.Kr. til 399 f.Kr. og er kendt for sit bidrag til etik og epistemologi.

Sokrates er kendt for sine såkaldte sokratiske dialoger, der er litterære værker, hvor Sokrates ofte er hovedpersonen. Disse dialoger involverer typisk samtaler om moralske og filosofiske problemer.

Dialogerne illustrerer anvendelsen af den sokratiske metode, som er en form for undersøgende samtale. I denne metode stiller Sokrates spørgsmål for at udfordre og undersøge den anden parts viden og overbevisninger. Målet med metoden er at fremme kritisk tænkning og nå frem til en dybere forståelse af emnet.

Da sprogmodellerne bag generativ AI kender til filosofiske tekster og metoder, kan vi bede modellerne om at agere på samme måde ved at aktivere såkaldt ‘socratic-mode’.

Act as an experienced career advisor at a university with extensive knowledge of graduate employability and the labor market.

Da du med denne type af prompting-metode netop beder AI’en om ikke at give dig svar, men at stille dig spørgsmål, er det oplagt, at der her er brug for et menneske i AI-processen. “Dialogen” kan ikke fortsættes uden, at du kommer på banen og sætter dig selv og dine foreløbige tanker i spil.

Du vil opleve, at jo mere du engagerer dig og gør interaktionerne personlige, jo mere vil du også kunne få gavn af din sparring med AI’en. Hvis du svarer generelt, vil du også få generelle modspørgsmål. Men hvis du svarer personligt og oprigtigt, vil du kunne få spørgsmål, der rammer dig, og som derfor kan kvalificere dine videre refleksionsprocesser.

Som med så meget andet i forhold til interaktioner med generativ AI, må du bevæge dig fra det generelle til det specifikke niveau og klæde AI’en ordentligt på, før den kan komme med et brugbart output.
