No newsletter this month (hey, it's summer!) but catch one of my recent LinkedIn posts, one of my most popular in a while, about INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

Remember, when using any AI generative tool, do not include in the prompt any personal info such as name, email address, company names/college names. These tools put everything submitted to them into their humongous data bases - you do NOT want your personal info there.

I suggest to clients that a prompt, in this case one asking about company reviews, read like this: "A friend who is a senior Operations manager in manufacturing in the Chicago area is starting a job search, and wants to know what companies out there get great reviews and not just on Glassdoor. Culture is vital to this friend and they want to work where all levels work together for a common goal, then celebrate their successes. No fiction or guessing, please."

Try that and see how it might help you!
