AI tools like chatbots and virtual assistants can support you during your application process, such as checking for spelling or grammar errors, or helping you decide what to include. However, they should not replace your responses or be used to write the application for you. Relying too much on AI can negatively impact your chances of success, as automatically generated answers might not be specific or relevant enough, may seem generic, or could misrepresent your qualifications, skills, and experience.
We monitor applications for unfair advantages, and all references are checked carefully. You will likely be tested on your experience at interview, so honesty is essential.
