💭 Ask AI

How can AI help me better understand what’s working and not working in my job search?

AI can turbocharge your job-search insights by crunching your application data. Job seekers are encouraged to track details like applied jobs, resumes used, interview stages, and feedback received. Now they can also use AI to analyze these patterns to reveal what's attracting recruiters and where your efforts might stall. It's like having a data-driven career coach constantly optimizing your approach for success!

How else do you think we quickly and efficiently quantified the answers so many of you shared with us in our job-seeker survey!? Shout-out to Ben Collins for the inspiration.
