using ai in your job search - dms & cover letters
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- use ai to build a company hit list by giving it your target role and the type of companies you want, like community-first or saas companies
- when reaching out to someone on linkedin, feed ai their profile and your background so it can find real commonalities for a dm, not generic flattery
- short dm's beat long ones, ai tends to write wordy messages so trim them down to something that doesn't feel salesy
- paste a job description into ai and ask honestly if it's a good fit for you, including salary, location and scope red flags
- for cover letters tell ai to skip the cliche opener, write three short paragraphs on why the company, why you're a fit, and what you'd do in the first 90 days, then edit it to sound like you before sending
