This is rather fascinating, isn't it? I just stumbled upon this, and it's making me think about how much clearer things could be for engineering graduates here in India. Often, career advice is a bit patchy, you see. AI offering tailored guidance could really level the playing field, especially for folks outside the big metro cities. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this development.
Wah, this is quite a timely development from LinkedIn! I've been seeing more and more AI tools pop up for everything, from writing emails to even planning groceries. It makes you wonder how much human intervention will still be necessary in the future, particularly in areas traditionally requiring a "personal touch" like career guidance. While the efficiency gains are obvious – imagine getting immediate feedback on your CV without waiting weeks – there's always that niggling thought about whether a bot truly understands the nuances of an individual's career aspirations or the local job market dynamics, especially here in Singapore. Still, it's definitely going to shake things up for jobseekers.
