Landing a job starts with knowing how to ask the right questions. Most people open AI Chomi and type “help me find a job” and while that works, it only scratches the surface of what AI Chomi can do for you.
The more specific your prompt, the better your results. This guide gives you 10 prompts you can use right now to find jobs, filter by location, match your experience, and even plan your next career move, all through AI Chomi at nasi-ispani.co.za/ai-buddy.
Why Your Prompt Matters
AI Chomi searches and responds based on exactly what you tell it. If you type “help me find a job,” it will return general listings, but it won’t know your field, your location, your experience level, or what you’re actually looking for.
Compare these two prompts:
“Help me find a job”
“Help me find warehouse jobs in Kempton Park. I have 3 years forklift experience and a valid licence.”
The second prompt gives AI Chomi enough to work with. The results will be more relevant, more targeted, and more likely to lead somewhere.
Finding the Right Job
Prompt 1 — Search by Job Title and Location
“Help me find [job title] jobs in [city or province].”
This is the single most important upgrade you can make to your search. Always include what you’re looking for and where you are.
Examples:
- “Help me find security jobs in Johannesburg.”
- “Help me find cleaning jobs in Cape Town.”
- “Help me find admin clerk jobs in Pretoria.”
Prompt 2 — Search by Your Experience Level
“I have [qualification/experience]. What jobs am I likely to qualify for?”
If you’re not sure what to search for, tell AI Chomi what you have and let it suggest suitable roles.
Examples:
- “I have Grade 11 and no work experience. What jobs can I apply for?”
- “I have a Matric and 2 years cashier experience. What roles suit me?”
- “I completed a hospitality learnership. What jobs are available for me?”
Prompt 3 — Search by Industry
“Show me [industry] jobs available right now.”
If you know the field you want to work in, search by industry rather than a specific job title — you may find roles you didn’t know existed.
Examples:
- “Show me manufacturing jobs available right now.”
- “Show me healthcare jobs in KwaZulu-Natal.”
- “Show me retail jobs in Gauteng.”
Prompt 4 — Search for Learnerships and Training
“Are there any learnerships or training programmes in [field]”
AI Chomi can help you find learnerships and training programmes, not just jobs. If you’re still building your experience, this is where to start.
Examples:
- “Are there any retail learnerships available?”
- “Help me find IT learnerships in Gauteng.”
- “Show me training programmes I can apply for with a Matric.”
Prompt 5 — Find Jobs You Can Apply for Without Experience
“I have no work experience. What entry-level jobs or learnerships are available in [location]?”
No experience doesn’t mean no options. AI Chomi can filter for entry-level roles and learnerships specifically suited to first-time job seekers.
Examples:
- “I have no work experience. What can I apply for in Durban?”
- “What jobs are available for someone who just finished Matric in Mpumalanga?”
Getting More from Your Search
Prompt 6 — Find Jobs at a Specific Company
“Do you have any vacancies at [company name]?”
If you have a specific employer in mind, ask directly. Just make sure you spell the company name correctly.
Examples:
- “Do you have any Shoprite vacancies?”
- “Are there any Fidelity Security jobs available?”
- “What jobs does Clicks have listed right now?”
Prompt 7 — Find Remote or Flexible Work
“Are there any remote or work-from-home jobs available”
Remote work is growing in South Africa. Be specific about what type of remote work you’re looking for to get the best results.
Examples:
- “Are there any remote call centre agent jobs available?”
- “Show me work-from-home data entry jobs.”
- “Are there any part-time remote jobs I can apply for?”
Prompt 8 — Understand What a Job Requires Before You Apply
“What qualifications and skills do I need to apply for a [job title] role?”
Before you apply, use AI Chomi to understand exactly what employers are looking for — so you can decide if you’re a strong candidate or what you still need to work on.
Examples:
- “What do I need to apply for a Code 10 driver job?”
- “What qualifications do I need to become a security guard in South Africa?”
- “What skills do employers look for in a customer service role?”
Prompt 9 — Plan Your Next Career Step
“I currently work as a [current role]. What jobs could I move into next, and what skills would I need?”
AI Chomi isn’t just for finding your first job — it can help you think through career progression and what steps to take to move up.
Examples:
- “I’m currently a general worker. What roles could I move into with more experience?”
- “I’ve been a cashier for 3 years. What’s the next step in retail?”
- “I want to move from admin into HR. What do I need to do?”
Prompt 10 — Get a Full Job Search Plan
“I’m looking for work in [field] in [location]. I have [experience/qualification]. Help me put together a job search plan.”
This is the most powerful prompt on the list. Give AI Chomi a full picture of who you are and what you want, and it will help you build a plan — not just a list of jobs.
Example: “I’m looking for warehouse or logistics work in Ekurhuleni. I have 5 years general worker experience and a forklift licence. Help me put together a job search plan.”
The Golden Rule
The more you tell AI Chomi, the more it can help you. Every time you open a new chat, give it context — your location, your experience, what you’re looking for. You don’t have to start with “help me find a job.” Start with who you are and what you need.
