What is CareerHelp?

CareerHelp is an AI tool designed to help job seekers understand what employers are actually looking for in job descriptions and identify gaps between their current skills and what positions require. The tool analyses job postings to extract key requirements, responsibilities, and desired qualifications, then helps users create targeted development plans to address shortcomings. It's useful for anyone making a career transition, applying for roles slightly above their current level, or trying to understand which skills matter most for their target position. Rather than generic career advice, CareerHelp focuses on the practical work of matching your profile against specific job descriptions and building a concrete plan to close gaps.
