PART II
Recruiters are beginning to heavily use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other smart technology recruiting tools in their jobs. One of the major selling points in using this, besides the fact that these programs save significant amounts of recruiter time, is that AI can make better decisions than human recruiters because of the lack of bias. However, most of the companies selling this software also note that AI programs are only as good as their programming. What do you believe are some of the benefits and potential pitfalls of using this technology?
Develop: This I Believe Essay Second Draft
Evaluation Title: This I Believe Essay
Remember, the purpose of this essay is to use personal writing to understand complex ideas and beliefs more clearly. In this essay, you will also focus on how to concisely communicate those ideas and beliefs with others.
Revise the draft of your This I Believe Essay that was submitted to our discussion.
1) Tell a story: Be specific. Take your belief out of the ether and ground it in the events of your life. Consider moments when belief was formed or tested or changed. Think of your own experience, work, and family, and tell of the things you know that no one else does. Your story need not be heart-warming or gut-wrenching-it can even be funny-but it should be real. Make sure your story ties to the essence of your daily life philosophy and the shaping of your beliefs.
2) Be brief: Your statement should be between 350 and 500 words. That's about three minutes when read aloud at your natural pace. The shorter length forces you to focus on the belief that is central to your life.
3) Name your belief: If you can't name it in a sentence or two, your essay might not be about belief. Also, rather than writing a list, focus on one core belief.
4) Be positive: Say what you do believe, not what you don't believe. Avoid statements of religious dogma, preaching, or editorializing.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
(1) The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
