- You should talk about AI in every interview because if you don’t, you’re actually at a disadvantage. You should have an understanding of how to use AI tools.
- You should be creative and forward-thinking, knowing and understanding how you can use the latest AI update or advancement in the job.
- You should know that Fortune 500 companies are looking for their AI expert. By becoming the go-to person for AI insights, you are gaining job security.
- Show that you have a hunger to learn and know that no one will teach you. One way you can do this is by surrounding yourself with a network of people who understand AI.
- You shouldn’t view AI as the enemy, and instead see it as an ally. AI is here, whether you like it or not.
The World’s Top Dream Jobs
Hopefully you're not sitting at work HATING what you do, but not all of us get to work out our dream job. Life just doesn't work out like that. Many of us are okay just working our 9 to 5's and going home to live our lives from 5 to 9.
