Unemployed? Google launches AI-powered platform to enhance resumes and guide careers

Google announced the launch of Career Dreamer , an experimental tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help users explore new career options.

This platform is designed to generate personalized job recommendations based on each user's experience, academic background, skills, and interests .

The tool, which is currently only available in the United States, isn't focused on listing job openings, as traditional platforms do.

Instead, Career Dreamer offers an interactive way to discover new career possibilities , even those users might not have previously considered.

Career Dreamer analyzes user input—including employment history, education level, and interests—to create a “career identity statement.”

This statement can be used as a basis for improving resumes or preparing for interviews. It also presents a visual grid of different career options related to the user's profile , allowing them to explore and delve deeper into each one.

The tool also integrates with Gemini, Google's AI assistant, to assist with writing cover letters and optimizing resumes, as well as generating job ideas.

Google developed Career Dreamer in collaboration with organizations that work with diverse groups, including students, recent graduates, military veterans, and their families.

The company aims for this tool to serve as a starting point for those considering a career change or wishing to assess the potential of their skills in other sectors.

The launch comes amid an increasingly dynamic work environment. According to data from the World Economic Forum cited by WIRED, the average person could have up to 12 jobs throughout their lifetime, while Generation Z could work in as many as six different careers.

In this scenario, Career Dreamer seeks to help users structure their career paths and identify transferable skills.

Despite its usefulness, the tool has limitations. It's not linked to real job openings, and its use is geographically restricted. Google has not yet announced plans for international expansion.

Career Dreamer joins Google's initiatives focused on the use of AI for training and employability. The company also offers courses and certifications in this area, with the aim of preparing users for the challenges of a changing labor market.
