AI is changing the hiring game, but how you leverage it is key: AI should support your voice, not replace it.

At IQVIA, we embrace innovation, and that includes supporting candidates who use AI to navigate resume writing and interview prep. If you're thinking about applying to IQVIA, here are five smart ways to use AI for a competitive edge.

1. Grammar-check your application

Begin with your authentic experience and achievements, then use AI tools to refine your resume for grammar and clarity. Small errors can make a big difference in a competitive hiring market, so let AI serve as an eagle eye to catch these before you apply!

2. Audit your resume like a recruiter

Ask your AI tool to act like an IQVIA recruiter reviewing your resume for the job you’re applying for. Then prompt it with: “What gaps or red flags might you see? What would make this stand out more?” The feedback you get can help you fine-tune your application from the hiring team’s perspective — but use caution: some AI tools may recommend buzzwords or advanced technical skills to “optimize” your resume. Be sure the result is still accurate.

3. Research our company

Ask AI to summarize our latest innovations, clinical breakthroughs or thought leadership. Then use that insight to tailor your application. For example: “I just read about how IQVIA is using AI in decentralized trials, and I’d love to contribute to projects like that.” That kind of detail shows you're curious and forward-thinking — two traits we look for in every hire.

4. Pitch yourself in 30 seconds or less

It’s no secret that the most commonly asked interview question is, “Tell me about yourself.” Use AI to think through concise ways of sharing who you are, what you do and why we should hire you to answer that question with confidence.

5. Host a mock interview with AI

Feeling nervous about an interview? AI can be a great practice partner. Try mock interviews with AI chatbots or generate potential questions based on the job description. Then, practice saying your answers out loud. You’re not aiming for scripted perfection, just gearing your brain up to wow us in the interview.

AI can be a powerful ally in your job search, helping you present your best self with confidence and precision. But remember: the most compelling applications are those that reflect your unique voice, values and vision. We’re excited to meet the real you.
