In this interactive workshop, we will list do’s and don’ts for drafting a cv with an academic background. Your cv is the business card that makes (or breaks) the first impression a recruiter gets of your profile. It should show your professional personality, be adapted to the targeted position and communicate your killer points. In this short workshop, we will deduce guidelines regarding style, structure and content based on discussion of frequently raised questions and authentic input.

Applying for a job – especially in larger companies – seems to be a complex process. That’s why a lot of applicants start using generative AI like ChatGPT to generate a best-fit CV for the vacancy. In this session I will explain how companies like KBC are recruiting, where AI is implemented and how we use the technology. Following on this part the use of AI from the view of the applicant will be discussed. Pitfalls, challenges and opportunities are presented, and based on one case practical tips will provided to the audience. Should you use ChatGPT? Join us to explore the answer from a corporate point of view.
