5 essential AI tools for job seekers

The job hunt in 2025 is no joke. With more roles going remote and competition tighter than ever, job seekers need an edge—and AI is delivering. That’s where Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs come in.

These next-generation Windows devices come built with AI at their core, offering some of the best tools available for job seekers today. Think of them as your personal career coach, resume editor, and interview trainer, all in one sleek machine.

Here are 5 AI tools on Copilot+ PCs that can help you land your next role faster and smarter.

1. Copilot in Microsoft Word: Rewrite your resume without rewriting yourself

When your resume needs a refresh, Copilot in Word1 turns awkward self-promotion into polished, tailored content. Whether you’re pivoting to a new industry or just trying to modernize your wording, a single prompt can generate results that match your goals, and the role.

Pro Tips That Actually Work:

Paste a job listing and ask: “Rewrite my resume summary to align with this position.”
Want to shift industries? Try: “Highlight transferable skills from education to project management.”

Make it yours: Customize the Copilot suggestions. Blend your voice back in. Authenticity + precision = standout resume.

2. Copilot in Edge: Research like a pro (not a panic-scroller)

Instead of juggling a dozen open tabs, let Copilot in Edge summarize company pages, extract job post keywords, or even help you draft a tailored follow-up email. You can ask questions in real time, right alongside your browsing.

Pro tips that save time:

Open a job posting and ask: “What keywords should I use in my resume?”
Skimming a company’s About page? Ask: “Summarize this company’s mission and product focus.”

Bonus move: Prompt Copilot to draft a quick “Why I’m excited about this role” paragraph you can tweak for cover letters or interviews.

3. Copilot in PowerPoint: Interview like you’ve done this 100 times

With PowerPoint and Copilot¹, you can build a slide deck of practice questions and outline answers using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). It's not just about writing, it’s about visualizing your prep and practicing aloud.

Pro tips that boost confidence:

Ask: “Generate 10 interview questions for a leadership role.”
Use speaker notes to rehearse answers. Don’t just read—perform.
Export slides as flashcards for on-the-go review.

Interview Bonus: Practice with a friend on Teams, then review the session transcript with Copilot to spot where you drifted or nailed it.

4. Copilot in OneNote: Manage your job search like a project manager

With multiple applications, interviews, and follow-ups, OneNote keeps your job hunt under control. Add Copilot, and now you’ve got a digital assistant to help you structure notes, summarize listings, and generate next steps for every opportunity.

Pro tips that add structure:

Organize job listings by role and ask: “Summarize this role and list required qualifications.”
After interviews, dictate your thoughts and say: “Create a follow-up message from these notes.”

5. Recall on Copilot+ PCs: Instantly find anything you’ve seen or said

Forget digging through tabs or re-reading emails. Recall (exclusive to Copilot+ PCs) lets you search across your digital history using natural language.² Ask Recall to search for content using the clues you remember, and it brings back snapshots of content across apps and time.

Pro tips that save you from search black holes:

Prompt Recall: “Find that salary comparison I looked at Tuesday morning.”
Or: “Show the resume I edited yesterday afternoon.”

Bonus: Recall works across Word, Edge, Teams, and more—so whether it was in a doc, browser, or chat, you’ll get it back in seconds.
