Plan Your Job Search with AI

Build a personalized job search plan to keep you on track, and develop a professional brand to impress employers.

This course is part of the Accelerate Your Job Search with AI program by Google. Planning is the secret ingredient to a successful career move. Research shows that job seekers with a strategic plan are 30% more likely to receive an offer and 26% more likely to become employed (Stellenbosch, 2018). In this course, you will learn how to move from a one-size-fits-all approach to a targeted, data-driven strategy, with help from AI.

You’ll begin by using Gemini to transform your career identity statement into a concrete, step-by-step job search plan. You’ll learn how to prompt AI to find industry-specific job boards and prioritize your weekly tasks, ensuring you stay organized without feeling overwhelmed.

This course explains the X-Y-Z resume formula, and how every bullet point must demonstrate measurable impact. You will learn to build a "base resume" and then use AI to help tailor it for specific job descriptions, ensuring your keywords align with what employers are seeking.

We’ll explore the power of a professional online presence. You’ll learn to manage your professional brand on platforms like LinkedIn, Handshake, and industry-specific sites like Behance or GitHub. By the end of this course, you’ll have added to your Job Search Portfolio, updating it with a personalized search plan, tailored cover letters, and an online profile that works for you even while you sleep. No prior AI experience is needed; this course is designed to help you get more done, faster.
