How to Stand Out When Everyone Uses AI

Vizzy CEO and Co-founder Chris Woodward-Jones chats to George Pygall from Skill Economy podcast about standing our in a world where everyone’s using AI.

AI has made it easier than ever to generate polished job applications.
But it has also made it easier to sound exactly like everyone else.

At Vizzy, we’re seeing a clear shift. The candidates standing out today aren’t always the most experienced or the most “perfect” on paper. They’re the ones who know how to be real.

They understand their story.
They show initiative.
They put genuine effort into how they approach opportunities.

As one-click applications and AI-generated responses become the norm, hiring teams are looking for signals they can trust – like proactiveness, curiosity, and self-awareness. These are things a traditional CV often struggles to show.

For early-career candidates especially, authenticity is becoming a real advantage. Not because you need to have everything figured out, but because being clear on who you are and what drives you helps you stand out in a crowded, AI-powered market.
