First, a note about using generative-AI for career-related activities...
These are simply tools to DRAFT your professional documents. They are NOT intended for you to copy/paste the AI-generated text verbatim. These tools will produce a draft that you MUST modify to match your actual skills and experience as well as your specific style of speaking. Most employers check whether AI was used to generate text. If an employer thinks that you have only used AI to write your cover letter or resume, they may discard your application!
AI Career Bots created by the Saremi Center:
Career Compass — Upload any combination of TWO of the following: interests inventory, skills assessment, work values assessment, and learning styles assessment, to find the top 10 career positions for you.
Identify Matching Positions — Upload your resume and find the 10 most appropriate entry-level positions that match your skills, experience, and qualifications.
Identify Missing Keywords from Resume — Upload your resume and enter a job title to find: 1) the most important skills/ keywords for that job, and 2) which skills/keywords are missing from your resume.
Draft a Resume Summary — Upload your resume and watch the bot DRAFT a summary that reflects your skills, experience, and education for your review and modification.
Create Better Job Duty Bullet Points — Upload your resume and watch this bot re-write your job duty bullet points to enhance your resume.
Condense your Resume — Resume too long? Upload your resume, paste in a job description, and watch this bot generate a condensed version of your resume (no more than 2 pages) while retaining the most important/relevant skills and experience for the position.
Identify the Hiring Manager — Enter a job title, job description, employer, and city/state to find the most likely title of the hiring manager for the position.
Draft a Cover Letter — Provide the recipient information, paste in the job description, attach your resume and watch this bot DRAFT a cover letter for your review and modification.

Profile Bot 4k — Evaluate the quality of your LinkedIn profile.
InterviewBot 5000 — Paste in a job description and your resume, and this bot will allow you to practice some relevant interview questions, get feedback, and continue the conversation like a mock interview (albeit with a robot).
