A job search is something most working adults will face multiple times in their lives. Yet many times, job seekers are reduced to stringing together YouTube videos, articles, or advice from friends and family on how to successfully search, apply, and get their next job. In Job Search with GenAI, job seekers asking “What’s next?” can find everything they need in one course — from making a list of your career goals to asking whether you should take a job offer or not. It’s also written and prepared by individuals who have done extensive hiring in the past, so you get behind-the-scenes guidance as well. It also shows learners how to use generative AI to help throughout the job search process.
We can’t guarantee that following the activities and advice in this course will always result in a job offer. However, this course can much better prepare you for applying, interviewing, and knowing what you want from your next role — if you put in the work.
