More Bodhih Professional Playbooks
A step-by-step, ethical way to use AI in your job search, so your CV passes the screen, your interviews land, and you sound like a real person rather than another AI-written application.
Get Hired in the AI Era · Bodhih Professional Playbooks · 02 by Bodhih Training, trainers to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
Use AI as an editor, interviewer and practice partner, not as the author of your CV or your answers. Write your own facts first, ask AI to sharpen them without adding claims, and rehearse with it before interviews. Get Hired in the AI Era, an eBook from Bodhih Training, shows exactly how, with prompts and templates.
You send application after application and hear nothing, or get an automated rejection within minutes. Somewhere between your laptop and a human being, your CV is being filtered out, and nobody tells you why.
AI tools made writing easy, so every CV and cover letter now sounds the same. Recruiters spot the sameness in seconds, and your real achievements get lost in polished, generic phrasing.
You freeze on "tell me about a time when...", ramble through "tell me about yourself", and don't know what to say about gaps, weaknesses or salary. Recorded and AI-assessed interviews make it feel even stranger.
You want international or remote work, but the market is crowded, "remote" often means remote within another country, and fake job offers asking for fees arrive on WhatsApp and Telegram every week.
Imagine opening your inbox next week and finding an interview invitation instead of another automated rejection. As you start using the CV method in Chapter 3, you'll notice your applications reading differently: specific, quantified and clearly aimed at the role, the kind of CV a recruiter keeps reading.
Picture the moment the interviewer leans back and says, "So, tell me about yourself." Instead of starting at your school days, you give a clear, ninety-second answer that ends exactly where their job begins. When the behavioural questions come, you reach into your story bank and tell a real story, with a real result, in your own words.
Imagine receiving an offer that looks too good to be true, and knowing within two minutes how to check it, what to ask, and when to walk away. And when a genuine offer arrives, picture yourself thanking them warmly, pausing, and asking for a little more, calmly, with evidence behind you.
Whether you read it in one sitting tonight or follow the 21-day sprint fifteen minutes at a time, you can begin with the chapter you need most and build from there.
Every chapter starts with a real situation, gives you a method, and ends with something to do today.
Why getting into the interview is now the hardest part, and the book's stance: use AI to prepare, never to pretend.

Tunde's cousin, Chidi, received a WhatsApp message from a number with a UK country code. The sender said she was a recruiter for an oil services company and had seen his CV online. There was an urgent opening for a logistics coordinator in Aberdeen, with a salary in pounds that made Chidi read it twice. The interview would be by text on Telegram. Within two days he had an offer letter on official-looking letterhead. All he had to do was pay ₦350,000 to an agent for "visa processing and work permit fees", refundable on his first payslip. He came very close to paying. What stopped him was Tunde asking one question: "When has a real employer ever asked you to pay them?" Recruitment scams are widespread, and AI has made the messages more polished and personalised. They target people who are hopeful, under pressure and short of time, which describes most job seekers. Recognising the patterns is your best protection.

Use a single-column, text-based layout with standard headings, put your contact details in the body, and include the job's key terms where they honestly apply. Write achievement bullets with numbers or scale. Chapter 3 gives the full method and a final checklist.
Use it to edit, not to author. Draft your own facts first, then ask AI to tighten wording and check keywords without adding anything you haven't done. Recruiters increasingly spot AI-generated sameness, and you are responsible for every claim you send.
Use Present, Past, Future: your current role and a relevant achievement, one or two earlier experiences that built the skills this job needs, and why you want this role. Keep it to about sixty to ninety seconds and end on the job in front of you.
STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result. Keep the situation and task brief, spend most of your time on what you personally did, and finish with a measurable result and a lesson. Chapter 5 includes a full worked example and a story bank worksheet.
Answer the actual question using clear structure, be specific about tools, numbers and actions, and speak at a steady pace. Set your camera at eye level with light in front of you, and aim to finish before the time limit. Trying to game the system doesn't work.
Warning signs include any request for money, interviews only by text, WhatsApp or Telegram, offers with almost no interview, salaries far above market, and pressure to reply fast. Verify through the company's official website and switchboard, and never forward money or pay fees to get hired.
No. It is dishonest, it is often noticeable, and many employers treat it as grounds to disqualify you or withdraw an offer. This book shows you how to use AI thoroughly before the interview so you don't need it during one.
Yes. It compares résumé and CV norms for the US, UK, India, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, the Philippines and the Gulf, including length, photos and personal details, and explains salary structures such as CTC, allowances and 13th-month pay.
