As children, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" may spark dreams of becoming an astronaut, doctor, or artist. As adults, the answer isn't always as clear. It’s common to question career choices at various points, whether you're fresh out of college or deep into a specific career path. If you’re asking, “Which career is right for me?,” Copilot can help you explore possibilities, find opportunities, and keep moving forward on your career path.
How AI can help you find your fit
Copilot is a sophisticated AI system trained on diverse datasets containing vast information on careers and industries. This allows it to perform holistic analyses and provide personalized guidance, making Copilot a great career finder tool.
Whether you're looking to refine your skills, switch industries, or simply find out what career options align with your current path, Copilot can help. Here are several of the ways Copilot can assist you on your professional development journey:
Personalized career suggestions
Whether your goal is finding a career that matches both your skills and passions or simply to make more money, Copilot can help you research the fields and positions that could be your next right fit. Provide your professional priorities, passions, experience, and/or interests to get personalized career research with prompts like these:

Copilot can assess your work history and qualifications to help spotlight areas for potential growth and suggest possible learning paths based on your target industry. Simply provide your resumè, cover letter, or any data that reflects your skills and experience to get personalized analysis and recommendations.
Try prompts like these for skill gap analysis:

Copilot can assist you in formulating possible professional development goals specific to your growth and career aspirations to help you stay on track and focus on your long-term objectives.
Try prompts like these to explore possible professional development goals:
