On Jim Oliver’s ‘Breakaway Wealth’ podcast, we covered some hot-button topics and advice for job seekers in the age of AI. If AI is going to further disrupt an already broken hiring system, how are we supposed to stand out, get noticed, get considered, get interviewed (hopefully by a human), and get hired?
It still comes down to our network. But more importantly, it involves the self reflection necessary to define and articulate the special and unique value that we offer. You may have similar experience to many other qualified candidates. But no one does their job quite the way you do.
Your task is to connect with the people who resonate and align with your values, your insights, and your perspective. They’ll connect you to more like-minded people. And somewhere down that road lies your next job.
