Using AI to Assist in Your Job Search: Free Monthly Programs Oct through Dec

Around half of job applicants are now using artificial intelligence (AI) to help them search for employment so job seekers not using such tools may be hampering their chances of landing that perfect job. Gesher Human Services career and computer experts seeing a need for learning the basics of AI for job searching in the metro Detroit community are offering a series of 1.5-hour workshops this fall through December 2024. Programs will be held at the nonprofit organization’s headquarters in Southfield (29699 Southfield Road MI 48076) on Oct. 10 Nov. 21 and Dec. 12 at 1 p.m. All programs are free and suitable for beginners without prior AI experience; no registration is required.

In addition for job applicants with limited computer skills a three-week bi-weekly Computer Basics Class will be offered Oct. 21 to Nov. 6; classes are 10 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The class topics include: Creating editing naming saving and moving files; keyboard mouse and trackpad usage; navigating the internet; tech terms translate; the Cloud; and computer safety. These classes are free to unemployed job seekers but registration is required; contact Dave Rotter at [email protected] or call 248-233-4243. Computer assistance is also available on Fridays with a drop-in computer lab from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. where computer experts can provide hands-on instruction. These are also free of charge with no appointment needed. Participants can bring their own laptop or use those belonging to Gesher. The computer lab may be closed on some Fridays in October due to holidays so email Dave Rotter at [email protected] to check.
