Welcome to Take Your Time Back - a content series in partnership with Google, designed to show you how Google's AI tools help give us back the time we so crave, so we can focus on what matters most in work and life…

As anyone who's ever sought out a new role or chased a promotion will know, trying to progress your career can feel like a full-time job in itself. Thankfully, technology can make the process a little less time-consuming, with Google's suite of AI tools on hand to lighten the proverbial load…

For jobseekers

AI features in products like Google Docs can check for errors in your CV, tailor your applications to specific job descriptions or summarise your cover letter to make it snappier. You could even ask Gemini, Google's AI assistant, to rewrite your CV in different styles to see which is most effective or run practice interview questions and then provide feedback on your responses.

For career changers

Thinking about a new career? Gemini can help you discover exciting new paths based on your unique skills and passions. For example, you could ask Gemini to "suggest career options for someone with strong writing and communication skills". You can also leverage AI to help you get career advice from others in your desired industry, with Gemini able to help you draft the perfect intro emails to get the conversation started.

For those looking to progress

Building your personal brand in your current role is a great way to market yourself internally and AI can help make that happen. For example, you could ask Gemini to "condense this report into a one-page summary that I can share with my manager to inform them of the progress of my campaign". You can also use it to learn more about relevant industry trends in easily understood language, with prompts such as: "Explain this complex piece of code to me as someone who has no prior understanding and experience in coding." Keeping your skills and knowledge sharp and up to date, while also showcasing your expertise to relevant stakeholders can only increase your chances of progression.
