January 10, 2026 – Yesterday, on January 9, tech news outlet BleepingComputer published an article revealing that OpenAI is currently testing a new “Jobs” feature for ChatGPT. This feature is designed to act as an AI-powered career planning assistant, aiming to assist users in various aspects of their professional lives, such as optimizing resumes, clarifying career goals, finding suitable job positions, and mapping out career paths.
According to the information that has come to light, the “Jobs” feature is far more than just a basic job search tool. Instead, it functions as a comprehensive “AI career advisor.” As per the article, users can leverage this feature to polish their resumes, enhancing the precision of their career self-positioning. Additionally, the system can help users identify the most suitable job roles, analyze how to stand out in a competitive job market, and search for and compare various job opportunities based on their individual goals.
In terms of interface design, the “Jobs” feature is expected to adopt a similar architecture to the previously released “ChatGPT Health” feature. This implies that it is highly likely to appear as an independent module, either in the left sidebar on desktop versions or in the menu on mobile versions, with its own dedicated interactive interface.
What’s even more intelligent is that when users mention topics related to job hunting or resume editing during regular conversations, ChatGPT may automatically recognize their intentions and guide them to this dedicated “Jobs” space. This allows for more professional and in-depth services tailored to the users’ needs.
BleepingComputer’s analysis suggests that OpenAI’s rapid expansion into vertical fields with such features indicates its ambition to transform ChatGPT into an “Everything App” that covers all aspects of life, work, and health. By converting general AI capabilities into specialized tools for specific scenarios, OpenAI is striving to increase user engagement and tap into the potential of high-frequency, essential use cases.
