Google's "Professional Dreamer" uses AI to help you explore job possibilities

Google is launching a new experiment that uses AI to help people explore more career possibilities. The company announced Wednesday that a new "career dreamer" tool can find patterns between your experience, education, skills and interests to connect you to a career that might be very suitable.

With a career dreamer, you can use AI to draft a career identity statement by selecting your current and previous roles, skills, experience, education, and interests. Google notes that you can add this career identity statement to your resume or use it as a guide to the key points of conversations during an interview.

Career Dreamer allows you to see a variety of careers that match your background and interests through the visual network. If you are interested in a particular career, you can dig into it for more information.

The tool also allows you to work with Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, for cover letters or resume workshops and explore more work ideas.

It is worth noting that unlike real services and popular services like LinkedIn, career dreamers won’t link you to actual job releases. Instead, it is designed to help you quickly explore different careers, so you don't have to do a series of different Google searches to find the right one for you.

Currently, "Professional Dreamers" are only used as experiments in the United States. It is not clear when or whether Google plans to bring the experiment to other countries.

"We hope that career dreamers can be helpful to all kinds of job seekers," Google wrote in a blog post. "In the development process, we consulted organizations that provide services to individuals, such as students driving in businesses," Google wrote in a blog post. A career, recently entered the workforce, adult learners seeking new opportunities, as well as military communities, including transitional service members, military spouses and veterans. If you are ready to change your career, or just want to know what’s out there, try a career dreamer."

In its blog post, Google pointed to a report from the World Economic Forum that noted that people have an average of 12 different jobs in their lives, and Gen Z is expected to have 18 jobs in six different careers.

Google points out that it’s hard to incorporate your previous experience into a cohesive narrative, especially if your career path isn’t as traditional, this is where a career dreamer can help.

Additionally, Google believes the tool can help people better express skills they already have that are consistent with other jobs.
