Set Meaningful Career Goals
Vague career goals lead nowhere. AI helps you define specific goals that guide real action.
Works with:
Example Prompt
I want to develop my career. Current role: [YOUR JOB]. Where I want to be in 2-3 years: [DESIRED POSITION/STATE]. Skills I have: [STRENGTHS]. Gaps I'm aware of: [WEAKNESSES]. Help me set 3-5 specific, actionable career goals with milestones.
Pro Tip
Write goals that you'd know you achieved. "Get better at leadership" is vague. "Lead a cross-functional project by Q3" is measurable.
