What AI Can—and Can’t—Do for Your Career: Why the Human Touch Still Matters

Human vs AI in career planning – AI is everywhere—from your email inbox to your job applications. And now, it’s helping professionals figure out their next career move. But here’s the truth: while AI can uncover insights, patterns, and possibilities, it can’t tell your story. That still takes a human being.

At Thomas Career Consulting, we’ve introduced a new service that combines AI-enhanced career strategy tools with one-on-one expert guidance—giving you the best of both worlds.

Whether you’re a mid-career professional, an executive in transition, a college graduate just starting out, or someone ready for a major pivot, our approach helps you get unstuck and get moving.

Here’s how it works:

• AI tools help analyze your experience, uncover transferable skills, and suggest roles that align with your background and values.
• Human insight shapes that raw data into clear messaging, strong branding, and a tailored strategy that actually resonates with hiring managers.

This isn’t a generic resume from a template or a robot-generated job match. It’s personalized, grounded in career development theory, and crafted with an understanding of what today’s market demands.

You’ll walk away with:

• A resume and LinkedIn profile optimized for both ATS and real human readers
• Clarity about your next move, including options you may not have considered
• A strategy you can use—without feeling overwhelmed by tech or trends

AI is a tool, not a substitute. The real magic happens when it’s paired with experience, intuition, and the ability to listen.

If you’re curious about what this could look like for you—or your graduating senior—schedule a call today.
