Want to boost your job search? Build a smart digital twin—an AI-powered version of yourself. Akkodis VP of AI & Data Science Cris Kuehl shares expert tips to stand out in today’s competitive job market.

What to Input for a Smarter Digital Twin

Your digital twin’s effectiveness relies heavily on the quality and context of information you provide. Just uploading your resume is not enough for effective implementation. According to Cris Kuehl, it’s crucial to also input specifics about the job you’re applying for.

This included the job description, company name, as well as the industry. By inputting these details, your AI can produce tailored responses that match your experience precisely to the job requirement.

Kuehl suggests including narrative-style descriptions of your career goals. By sharing your aspirations and preferred work environments, whether it's a stable corporation or a fast-paced startup, you help your digital twin match you to jobs that truly align with your personal values and career ambitions.

Choosing the Right AI Model for Your Job Search

Not all large language models (LLMs) are created equal. Kuehl emphasizes the importance of selecting a model carefully, suggesting that job seekers begin by exploring flagship options from leading AI providers like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, or Meta’s models.

But it isn’t simply about performance; privacy and control matter too. Cris advises choosing paid versions of these AI models, as they typically offer better data security and more personalized features.

This included features such as custom GPTs that remember your preferences and style. Advanced users might even employ multiple models for different tasks - one for resume refinement, another for interview prep, and a third for networking or social interactions.

Edit Your AI Content to Stay Authentic

While digital twins are designed to save time and effort, Cris warns against relying too heavily on AI-generated content. Instead, view your digital twin’s output as a starting point rather than a finished product.

Kuehl strongly recommends reviewing and editing everything carefully. Reading your AI-generated content aloud can be especially helpful to catch unnatural phrases, buzzwords, or overly polished language. 

As Cris puts it: "If it doesn’t feel good to you, it probably won’t feel good to a recruiter either." Human oversight ensures the authenticity and quality of your final submission.
