Career Readiness

Employers increasingly expect candidates to have some real AI fluency, but "I use ChatGPT" isn't a credential and most students have no idea how to talk about their AI skills in a way that reads as genuine competence rather than buzzword-dropping. This track is about closing that gap directly.

We cover how to talk about AI tools credibly in a resume and interview, what employers are actually screening for when they ask about AI experience, and — just as importantly — the judgment to use AI responsibly once you're on the job: what's appropriate to run through an AI tool at work, what isn't (client data, confidential information), and how to avoid the mistakes that get new hires in trouble.

This track works well paired with Building with AI, since having an actual project to point to is far more convincing in an interview than a claimed skill.

• Resume & interviews: How to credibly describe real AI fluency, not buzzwords.
• On-the-job judgment: What's appropriate to run through AI tools at work, and what isn't.
• Employer expectations: What's actually being screened for, from someone who's seen it.
• Pairs well with: Building with AI, for a real project to point to.
