As of 13 August 2026, AI can find entry-level jobs in a new industry.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Choose one target industry and write down your UK location, travel limit, work-rights position, start date, working-pattern preference and minimum conditions.
   2. Gather your CV, qualifications, work history, volunteering, projects and two or three examples of transferable skills, removing unnecessary personal information.
   3. Open current employer career pages and reputable job boards, and copy the vacancy URLs and visible job descriptions into a document.
   4. Paste the prompt and your details into a chatbot, then add the copied vacancy text and URLs so it can compare the roles with your criteria.
   5. Ask it to separate verified listing facts from its interpretation and to exclude any vacancy whose page is closed, inaccessible or missing essential details.
   6. Open every shortlisted application link yourself and compare the title, employer, location, closing date, salary, eligibility and experience requirements against the drafted table.
   7. Remove any role that fails your conditions, save the remaining links and deadlines in an application tracker, then tailor your CV and apply through the employer or job board.

   Prompt

   I am looking for entry-level work in [TARGET INDUSTRY] in the UK. Use only vacancies that you can verify from a current, accessible employer or job-board page. If you cannot access live vacancy pages, say so clearly and do not invent listings, employers, salaries, deadlines or application links.
   
   My details:
   - Location and maximum travel or remote requirement: [LOCATION AND TRAVEL LIMIT]
   - Right to work and visa restrictions: [DETAILS]
   - Earliest start date: [DATE]
   - Full-time, part-time, temporary or apprenticeship preference: [PREFERENCE]
   - Minimum salary or other essential conditions: [DETAILS]
   - Education, qualifications and completed training: [DETAILS]
   - Previous work, volunteering or projects: [DETAILS]
   - Transferable skills I can support with examples: [SKILLS]
   - Jobs or duties I do not want: [DETAILS]
   
   Find suitable entry-level vacancies and return a table with the job title, employer, location or working pattern, salary if stated, closing date if stated, required qualifications or experience, why my background matches, one likely gap, and the direct application URL. Put the most suitable roles first. Exclude vacancies that require substantial prior industry experience, have no working application link, or do not state enough information to assess eligibility. Separate facts copied from the listing from your interpretation. Do not claim that I meet a requirement unless my details support it. End with search terms for roles you could not verify and a short checklist of what I must check before applying.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
