Using AI for job applications

The feeling's mutual

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. It’s helping people every day by simplifying tasks, boosting productivity and enhancing decision-making.

We champion the use of AI at Royal London, to help our colleagues be more productive in their day-to-day activities and to help us deliver better outcomes for our members and customers.

You can use it to enhance your job application when used ethically and effectively.

Personalise it

Review and personalise any content you’ve used AI to help you create.

Disclose it

If you’ve used AI, be honest and disclose this if you’re asked.

Be empowered

Use AI to empower you not to represent you – we want to see your authentic self!

When to use AI

Checking

Get AI to check your CV and cover letter and ask it to help you make improvements.

Preparing

Ask it to help you prepare for an interview or even simulate an interview with you.

Researching

Use AI to help you research Royal London and the role you’re applying for.

Exploring

Use AI to explore career paths based on your skills.

When to be cautious

Creating

Don’t create any content without your personal input, and make sure AI hasn't misrepresented your skills or experience.

Decision making

Don’t over-rely on AI when making decisions.

Interviewing

Don’t use AI during an interview unless you’re asked to.

Applying

Don’t use AI to submit or automate job applications (e.g. we get a lot of AI submitted applications for London-based candidates for jobs in other locations because we have ‘London’ in our name).
