If you are going to have a job interview soon, the following should interest you. Daniel Shapero, COO of LinkedIn, revealed to our colleagues at Fortune a question that recruiters are increasingly asking candidates. Let's take stock.

“Are you comfortable with AI ?”

The manager makes no secret of the topic that is increasingly being discussed during these key meetings: generative AI. And the COO clarifies:

One of the most common questions employers asked in interviews this year was, “Tell me a story about how you used AI in your workplace or at home,” and it shows that if you’re comfortable with AI, you’re more likely to help their organization become more AI-centric.

Among the most common responses, he says: “You hear about people planning family trips, you hear about people summarizing meeting notes. You hear about people generating creative ideas for clients. So there's a very broad range of things that AI can be used for.”

In short, there is no ready-made answer, but you have to adapt to the situation. Employers seem to be looking above all to reassure themselves by recruiting people who are comfortable with these emerging technologies, because they are likely to be important in many professions in the future, and not just in management or executive positions.

According to a recent LinkedIn survey, this can clearly make a difference. Indeed, 64% of employees say they are overwhelmed by the pace and changes that have recently occurred in their work due to the implementation of AI.

Mistakes to avoid during an interview

In addition to this problem, we can recall this study conducted by the company Ringover. More than 1,000 recruiters were surveyed to find out what annoys them the most in a job applicant. 35.8% cited being late for an interview.

Similarly, the lack of eye contact with the interlocutor is also frowned upon by 33.7% of the participants in this survey. Among the other grievances addressed to job seekers, we also find the lack of politeness towards other employees (30.8%), inappropriate attire (29.6%), or forgetting the CV (26.4%).
