Career advice from LinkedIn experts

Apparently, when you yap daily on LinkedIn

You get an exclusive invite to their London HQ.

To learn more about AI and j*bs with other top yappers.

Here are 4 key takeaways:

1/ Don’t be scared of AI
↳ AI is creating a lot of j*bs too.
↳ Learn the relevant skills to capitalise.

2/ AI is the wave right now
↳ Dotcom, web3, crypto (remember that lol), etc.
↳ There’s always a new thing…it will pass.

3/ Stop relying on AI so much
↳ AI is a tool for efficiency.
↳ Stop outsourcing your thinking.

4/ Go where the demand is
↳ Yes, Tech companies are laying people off
↳ But non-tech companies are hiring Tech workers.

On my last point, BBC is on the lookout for more Tech workers.

They are hosting a LinkedIn live for anyone looking for roles in Project and Change Management.

My final takeaway:

  • Tailor every j*b applications

  • Send a personalised videos

  • Create bespoke projects

  • Follow up with recruiters

  • Add a cover letter

Do unscalable things.
Don’t do the bare minimum.

Do the most!

Because in a world where everyone is obsessed with AI right now...

Being more human will make you stand out more in this j*b market.
