The Importance of Chatgpt Prompt Words
Once we have logged in to chatgpt, we need to send it a prompt for it to create, it is important to note that your prompt should not be too broad, the more detailed the basic information and specific requirements provided, the closer you will be able to get a satisfactory first draft of the CV, the following is an example of a prompt.

Ethical issues regarding the use of chatgpt
Please don’t worry about the lack of ethics in using chatgpt to generate a job application CV, but at this stage, it is only meant to be used for a first draft of a CV, or you can use chatgpt to adjust the text and structure of your CV after you’ve written it yourself, whatever the purpose, you will still need to modify it yourself at a later stage to add your own personal touches to it so I don’t really see this as a problem.
