A note on using Artificial Intelligence

- AI tools can be great for research and refining ideas, but we want to learn about you. If you use AI or Chatbots to help you with your application, keep these points in mind:

- AI can support research, structuring and refining your writing, but your application must reflect your real skills and experience.

- Spell-checking and condensing word counts are great ways to use AI effectively.

- Do not copy and paste AI-generated answers. This will not help you stand out in a positive way; remember we want to hear about your skills and experience.

- Providing false or insincere examples goes against our core values of honesty and integrity and may lead to your application being withdrawn or termination of your

employment.
