GPT Is Doing Your Assignments, But Will It Get You a Job?

You fed the prompt.
ChatGPT responded.
Assignment? Done in 3 minutes.

You feel like a tech wizard.
Your prof thinks you’re a genius.
But… your career? Not so sure.

Let’s get into it.

AI Is the New Study Buddy, Not Your Career Strategy

AI tools like GPT are amazing at helping you:

• Summarise textbook chapters

• Draft essays

• Generate project ideas

• Fix your grammar (thankfully)

But the job market doesn’t want someone who can Google well.
It wants someone who can:

• Solve problems no one’s defined yet

• Communicate with humans (yes, real ones)

• Navigate grey areas — not just prompt boxes

The Danger of AI Overreliance

If you use GPT for every assignment, you’re missing out on:

• Struggling (which builds actual understanding)

• Feedback (which sharpens your thinking)

• Reflection (which helps you form your own opinions)

In short: GPT might get you a grade. But grades ≠ skills.

What Recruiters Actually Care About

Recruiters aren’t saying:
“Wow, this CV looks like GPT helped them score a 10-pointer on that one assignment.”

They’re asking:

• Can this person think on their feet?

• Do they know how to research, adapt, present?

• Will they add value or just regurgitate info?

And AI can’t teach you these unless you engage with it actively.

So, How Do You Actually Get Job-Ready?

1. Use GPT to learn, not cheat.
   Ask it to explain complex concepts.
   Get feedback on your answers.
   Compare your ideas with its output. Then edit, refine, argue.

2. Build real-world skills
   Start a portfolio. Volunteer. Intern. Contribute to open-source.
   Work on something where ChatGPT can’t do all the work for you.

3. Talk to people who’ve made it
   Use Mentoria Connect to book a session with industry mentors.
   They’ll tell you what your degree doesn’t.
   Like how to actually land that first job (and not just pass the exam).

Final Thought

GPT might help you breeze through college — but the real world?
That’s open-ended. Unstructured. Messy.

And that’s where human skills still win.

So go ahead, let MOJO help. Just don’t let it replace your learning. Want to make AI work for you — without letting it define you?
