Level Up Your AI Skills with Copilot
As we continue to spotlight Technology, this month's NACE Career Readiness Competency, we're also highlighting how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way professionals work. Tools like Copilot are leading the way and are free to JMU students through your Microsoft 365 account.
Prompt writing is a core skill in using AI effectively, helping you get better results, think critically, and work smarter, not just faster. Learn how to write clear, purposeful prompts in Copilot to boost your efficiencies across tasks including, but not limited to:
- Career Exploration
- Internship and job searches
- Resume refinement
- Interview preparation
- Market research, data analysis, and more!
Remember to use AI ethically and responsibly. Always remove personal information and follow your instructors' guidelines when using AI for coursework.
