Posting with Purpose: How to Use AI Content Wisely in Your Hospitality Career Journey

The AI revolution has democratized content creation. From career tips to leadership lessons, LinkedIn is now overflowing with posts—many AI-generated. While this is exciting, it’s also noisy. So where do you fit in? And more importantly, how do you stand out for the right reasons?

The New Normal – Everyone’s Posting

  • The rise of AI tools like ChatGPT has made writing accessible to all.

  • Hospitality professionals are using it to share experiences, advice, and opinions.

  • But more content doesn’t always mean more value.

How It Affects Your Brand and Job Search

  • Recruiters do check LinkedIn. Your posts, comments, and shares create a perception.

  • Thoughtful content can position you as a leader, while generic or shallow posts can do the opposite.

  • Relevance > Quantity. Quality > Frequency.

The DOs and DON’Ts of AI-Generated Content

DOs:

✅ Use AI to brainstorm, not to blindly post

✅ Add your personal voice and hospitality context

✅ Share real experiences, lessons, and insights

✅ Focus on service, team, learning, and guest impact—these resonate in our industry

✅ Edit ruthlessly—your name is on it

DON’Ts:

❌ Don’t post generic advice with no substance

❌ Don’t fake expertise—authenticity matters more

❌ Don’t over-post; the algorithm doesn’t need flooding

❌ Don’t rely solely on AI. Your judgment and values must come through

A Simple Checklist Before You Post

Ask yourself:

  • Does this reflect how I want to be seen professionally?

  • Would I be proud to show this post to a GM or potential employer?

  • Does it offer value to someone in hospitality?

  • Is it me, or just something AI stitched together?

Reframing AI – As a Thinking Partner, Not a Loudspeaker

AI is brilliant at assisting. But the magic happens when you pair it with your perspective, story, and experience.

Think of AI as your sous-chef. You’re the one plating the dish and sending it to the guest.

We’re not saying “don’t use AI.” We’re saying: use it well.

Because in a sea of sameness, your clarity, consistency, and character will stand out.

Your career deserves that kind of thoughtfulness.
