Personal brand expert Maha Abouelenein explained that while AI can assist job seekers in applying for multiple roles faster, it also complicates the process by making it harder to build trust and credibility. She emphasized that AI cannot replace unique human skills like trust, credibility, experience, and point of view, which are crucial for standing out in a competitive job market. Abouelenein advised job seekers to focus on storytelling and building their personal brand to establish trust with potential employers, as AI tools offer similar information access to everyone.

WHY IT MATTERS

As AI tools become more prevalent in job applications, understanding how to leverage them without sacrificing authenticity and personal brand is critical for job seekers aiming to differentiate themselves and secure employment.
