As a business analyst involved in various projects contributing to strategic business goals, the tasks can greatly vary. Amidst a company undergoing significant restructuring and strategy shifts, my recent project involved creating a career framework. Despite having taken HR classes during my bachelor’s, HR isn’t my strong suit, as evidenced by me doing BIM. Reviewing numerous HR papers during my studies didn’t give me confidence in creating or advising on a document on career progression.
In this dilemma, I turned to the vast knowledge of AI and sought guidance from ChatGPT. With just basic role details, it generated comprehensive job descriptions, skill levels for specific positions, and the expected organizational impact. Prior career frameworks felt like they required an HR dictionary, which wasn’t ideal for a tech company where all employees should easily grasp their expectations and potential impact. ChatGPT, however, ensured the language used was clear and straightforward.
Adapting to change and crafting a future-proof framework is crucial in today’s job market. This is where ChatGPT felt short. Many suggested titles and descriptions were overly broad and lacked the specificity needed for evolving business requirements. I had to regenerate answers and rewrite my prompt multiple times for it to give me enough chunks that were useful for me to write a good skill set description.
In conclusion, my journey in creating a career framework with ChatGPT was eye-opening. It highlighted the real essence of “AI doesn’t replace you; someone that uses AI will.” While not flawless, it enabled me to produce comprehensive career frameworks for various roles in significantly less time if I needed to look for papers and best practices in google. It made the process accessible and efficient, transforming a seemingly daunting task into an achievable one.
