Design and Development of an AI-Powered Career Coaching Platform for Personalized Career Growth

This paper presented the design and implementation of an AI Career Coach, a web-based intelligent platform developed to support career development activities. The system integrates modern web technologies with Generative Artificial Intelligence to provide career recommendations, resume generation, cover letter creation, interview preparation, and performance analytics. The implementation results indicate that the platform effectively assists users in making informed career decisions while reducing the time and effort required for career planning. By providing personalized and scalable support, the system bridges the gap between academic learning and industry expectations. The proposed solution demonstrates the practical application of Artificial Intelligence in career guidance and professional development. The platform can serve as a valuable tool for students, graduates, and working professionals seeking career advancement opportunities.
