We understand that some candidates may choose to use AI tools to assist with their application. If you do, we kindly encourage you to keep the following in mind:

• Let your personality shine through: AI-generated responses can sometimes feel generic or impersonal. Your application is a chance to showcase your unique experiences, skills, and enthusiasm—make sure your voice comes through clearly.
• Show your genuine interest: A personal touch can make a big difference. Applications that reflect your own words and motivations often stand out more and help us get to know you better.
• Be accurate and honest: It’s important that all information you provide is truthful and genuinely reflects your background and experience.
• Prepare for the next steps: If your application relies heavily on AI, it may be harder to speak confidently about your experiences during interviews. We want you to feel prepared and authentic throughout the process.
