AI-Enhanced Resume Crafting

AI-driven resume tools (such as Rezi or Jobscan) can help you tailor your resume for specific job postings. By analyzing the language and requirements in a job description, these tools suggest keywords to incorporate into your resume to increase your chances of being noticed by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). And with the demand for AI and data skills on the rise (as highlighted in Akkodis’ 2025 IT and Engineering Salary Guide), using the right keywords can set you apart in a competitive market.

Job Search Automation

Job searching can be time-consuming, but AI-based platforms can make it easier. By setting up specific search criteria, AI can sift through thousands of job listings, recommending positions that match your profile. Some platforms even predict what roles might be ideal based on your skills, experience, and preferences. LinkedIn is one of the most popular job search platforms; it launched its AI-powered experience for premium subscribers in 2023. It promises the following capabilities:

• Extract information from your feed’s posts and tell you where to take action
• AI-powered suggestions to tailor your profile
• Help crafting personalized messages to engage with hiring managers

Set up tailored job alerts and let AI bring the most relevant opportunities to your inbox, saving you hours of manual searching.

Sharpening Your Skills

In today’s AI-powered tech job market, continuous learning is critical. The 2025 IT and Engineering Salary Guide shows that tech workers with AI skills are in high demand and often command higher salaries. Our Workforce of the Future survey also found only 11% of those sampled are considered to be future-ready workers. That means tech talent who are adaptable and proactive about growing their skills have a significant advantage over the rest.

Take advantage of AI learning platforms to enhance your capabilities and stay ahead of industry trends. Platforms like Coursera, Udacity, and LinkedIn Learning provide AI-powered recommendations for courses that align with your career goals. Be sure to add new certifications and licenses to your resume as you receive them.

Interview Practice with AI

AI can help you prep for interviews by generating questions likely to be asked based on the job description. Some platforms even offer AI-driven mock interviews, where you can practice responses and receive feedback on areas like tone, pace, and eye contact. Tools like Interview Warmup or Big Interview offer practice sessions with AI feedback. Use them to get comfortable with industry-specific questions, especially in high-demand areas like data science, software engineering, and AI development – where preparation can make a big difference.

While AI tools can help you with interview practice, don’t overlook the power of connecting with a recruiter. Our 2025 Salary Guide shows 76% of those surveyed said they value the human expertise of a recruiter to see potential in them beyond their skills and experience. This was up from 64% last year.

Mental Health and Work-Life Balance Tools

With AI reshaping industries, tech workers are increasingly using AI-powered tools to manage work-life balance and prevent burnout. In Akkodis’ Workforce of the Future survey, which is detailed in the 2025 IT and Engineering Salary Guide, we found a significant increase in feelings of burnout among tech workers. Last year, one in four reported it; this year, the number rose to nearly half. Many mental health apps now offer personalized recommendations, reminders, and guided meditations. Consider apps like Headspace or Calm, which use AI to understand your usage patterns and customize content. In a fast-evolving tech world, looking after mental health is as essential as technical skills.
