AI Career Tools & Online Resources
The advent of ChatGPT has accelerated the number and use of AI career tools and online resources. As we come across them and use them ourselves, below are some that we recommend as you look for what’s best for you.
As we use AI, remember that so do companies. They’ll be able to pick out the language used by other AI software. It is critical to reread and rewrite the language to make it your own before submitting.
P.S. This was not written by AI, nor were our reviews!
What is Careerspan and what do we think of it?
Careerspan is a straightforward program where you’ll upload a resume and a job description for it to then ask you questions to draw out the details needed to write bullets showcasing your skills and experiences needed for the position. These are then categorized in Responsibilities, Hard skills, Soft skills, and Networking. The language and style of prompts used in Careerspan when asking the user prompts is conversational and enjoyed.
What makes Careerspan different?
- AI-Mediated Coaching: Their platform uses conversational AI to ask insightful questions that help you reflect deeply on your experiences and extract your true professional value—something generic AI tools simply can’t match.
- Personalized Career Documents: Transform your coaching insights into tailored resumes, compelling cover letters, and powerful interview answers that authentically showcase your unique value to employers.
- Lifelong Career Support: Your professional narrative evolves with you—return at any career inflection point to build on your existing insights rather than starting from scratch.

What makes Careerspan different?
- Former DOJ prosecutor Brian Levine started FormerGov more than a year ago because he was getting referral requests for professionals with specific former government experience, and found it surprisingly difficult to locate these experts.
- Companies are actively using the site to find experts to hire.
- Those who were impacted by the recent hiring cuts and spending slow downs are eligible for additional support – reach out to us or to Brian for more details.
