Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) when writing job applications
If you choose to use AI or other tools to assist in writing your application, it's essential to personalise this information, particularly your supporting statement.
While AI can help streamline the writing process, these tools cannot fully grasp the context or requirements of the job youre applying for, nor can they accurately reflect your skills, knowledge, and experience.

May be ambiguous or open to misinterpretation. Without careful review and editing, the supporting statement could convey messages that are unclear or misconstrued by hiring managers 3. May include qualifications, skills, knowledge or experience that you do not possess, potentially leading to misrepresentation.
