5 AI Tools That Can Make Your Job Search Easier
Looking for a new role can feel overwhelming at times. Between tracking applications, writing cover letters, and preparing for interviews, it’s easy to lose focus. There are a few AI tools that can take some of the pressure off and help you stay organised.
Here are a few worth trying:
1. Teal – Keep Track of Applications
Teal is basically a central hub for your job search. Instead of juggling spreadsheets or trying to remember which jobs you’ve applied for, you can save postings from different sites and track where you’re up to with each one. It also gives suggestions for tailoring your CV to each role. Its also has free features to try before you buy.
Why it’s useful:
Everything is in one place, so you don’t miss deadlines.
Helps you adjust your CV to match what the job is asking for.
Makes it easy to see progress across all your applications.
2. Huntr – Visual Job Tracker
Huntr works in a similar way to Teal but with a more visual approach. It lets you save jobs from different sites, track application stages, and even set reminders for follow-ups. Some people find the Kanban board style layout easier to use.
Why it’s helpful:
Gives you a clear visual overview of every job you’re tracking.
Lets you save notes and contacts for each application.
Helps you stay on top of follow-ups without forgetting.
3. ChatGPT – Help With Cover Letters & Interview Prep
ChatGPT can’t replace your voice (or it shouldn't) , but it can give you a good starting point. Whether it’s drafting a cover letter or practising answers for interview questions, it’s a handy tool when you’re stuck or short on time.
Why it’s handy:
Creates a draft cover letter that you can then personalise.
Helps you think of examples for common interview questions.
Lets you rehearse answers in a way that feels a bit less intimidating.
4. Redact AI – Tidy Up Your LinkedIn Profile
This is a cool tool.
Your LinkedIn profile is often the first thing recruiters look at, but many people either overshare or haven’t updated it in years. Redact AI helps clean up the way your profile reads and makes sure the important parts stand out.
Why it’s helpful:
Cuts out old or irrelevant details.
Suggests clearer ways to describe your experience.
Keeps your LinkedIn consistent with your CV but still focused on networking.
Makes your profile sound like you, just sharper.
5. Google’s Interview Warmup – Practise Out Loud
This tool asks you common interview questions and gives feedback on your answers. You speak your responses aloud, and it highlights where you repeat yourself or use certain words too often. I tried it, while not perfect, the process of recording in itself is actually very helpful.
Why it’s good:
Helps calm nerves by practising in a no-pressure setting.
Shows you how you actually sound when answering.
Makes it easier to speak clearly and confidently.
Final Thought
These tools won’t get you the job on their own, but they can take some of the load off and free up your energy for the parts that matter most, like connecting with people, preparing properly, and showing who you are in an interview.
Spending a little time with them now can make the job search less stressful and a bit more manageable.
