One of the features is to search for jobs across the internet effectively. Users can further modify based on job preference, company, team and any other factors like salary, location, benefits, and more. Here’s a sample prompt users can try:

Search the web and job sites for 3-5 job openings right now at small to mid-sized companies that would be a good fit for a new grad with a BS in mathematics. The jobs should be fully remote or located within 50 miles of Houston, TX, and ideally have a salary range of $80,000 to $100,000 a year.

Similarly, Microsoft Copilot can also help users refine their resumes. The Microsoft AI can analyze job descriptions, identify relevant skills and experience, and update users’ resumes for specific roles. The same goes for creating customised cover letters and emails.

Among other tips and tricks which students could use, is that Copilot can also help practice interview questions. Here’s another sample prompt users can try out.
