AI-Powered Career Exploration Tool

A new AI-based tool called Career Dreamer has been introduced to assist individuals in discovering potential career paths that align with their skills, experiences, and interests. By analyzing a user's background, the tool creates a career identity statement that can be used for resumes or interviews. Unlike traditional job searching platforms, Career Dreamer focuses on illustrating varied career possibilities rather than directly linking to job postings, simplifying the exploration process. Currently available only as an experiment in the United States, its future expansion to other countries remains uncertain.
