AI Use Statement

Using AI for Career Readiness

At the Career Center, we encourage the use of AI-powered tools like VMock and Big Interview to enhance your career preparation. These platforms can extend our resources and provide valuable and timely feedback on résumés, interviews, and more. However, we also recognize that there are limitations of AI and possible misuses of AI. While these tools offer great support, they do not replace the personal guidance and insights that come from human interaction and the personal work of ethical reasoning and reflective thought. Students and alumni will always have access to our dedicated career advisors for one-on-one support, ensuring a balanced approach to career development.
