Find Your Next Great Job with AI — from wondertools.substack.com by Jeremy Caplan
1. Explore career directions
Recommended tool: Google’s Career Dreamer
What it is: A career visualization tool. See a map of professional fields related to your interests. (See video demo below)
How to use it: Start by typing in a current or previous role, or a type of job that interests you, using up to five words. Then optionally add the name of an organization or industry.
The free service then confirms job activities of interest and shows you a variety of related career paths. Pick one at a time to explore. You can then browse current job openings, refining the search based on location, company size, or other factors you care about.
Example: I’m not job hunting, but I tested out the service by typing in “journalist, writer and educator” as roles and then “journalism and education” as my industries of interest.

Why it’s useful: I appreciate that Career Dreamer not only suggests a range of relevant fields, but also summarizes what a typical day in those jobs might be like. It also suggests skills you’ll develop and other jobs that might follow on that career path.
Next step: After exploring potential career paths and looking at available jobs, you can jump into Gemini — Google’s equivalent of ChatGPT — for further career planning.

This is the type of functionality that will be woven into the powerful, global, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based, next-generation, lifelong learning platform that I’ve been tracking. AI will be constantly used to determine which skills are marketable and how to get those skills. The platform will feature personalized recommendations and help a person brainstorm about potential right turns in their career path.
