Using AI most effectively to develop job-search materials (opinion) (Inside Higher Ed)

Joseph Barber offers recommendations for how graduate students can leverage artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT for exploring career options and ...

This is a more nuanced version of matching keywords from the job description in your résumé, because it is focusing more on the context of the skills and knowledge that make up the keywords (similar to a what a hiring manager would do and more advanced that what most applicant-tracking software does). However, you can certainly ask the AI tools lots of questions, like the following, about interviewing as a small part of your preparation. Rather than relying solely on AI-generated content, the real value of these tools comes from using them to brainstorm and reflect on your pre-existing materials. Additionally, you can paste the text from a first-draft cover letter into an AI tool and then ask it to make that draft sound more professional. This raises the question of the ethics of this approach. I wouldn’t use the suggested text exactly—sometimes it won’t be an improvement—but it can often help provide some good ways of sharing the information. They are still in their infancy, and the content that they provide—from wherever they acquire it, with or without permission—should not be assumed to be correct. Having spent time playing around with some of the AI tools, here are some of my recommendations for how they can support graduate students exploring career options and applying for opportunities that they’ve identified. When you are in the job application phase, you can copy the text from a job description and ask the AI tools to identify the main skills or knowledge areas sought. With this understanding of the limitations of AI tools, their benefit comes not from generating original content, like a whole new résumé or cover letter, or possible answers for common interview questions that you might get. (And then follow up with more prompts: “Provide even more detail and create a way to track progress.”) But is it helpful to leverage such tools as part of a job search?

XAU/USD is surging higher in the last four days and is up around 1% on the day. Trading in the commodities markets involves substantial risk and YOU CAN LOSE A LOT OF MONEY, and thus is not appropriate for everyone. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. The thing is the financial markets are one of the few places where perception becomes reality. The Dow dropped 345 points and the other indices lost ground as well.

However, the law has not gone into effect yet and future research is needed to understand what the requirements will be to remain a WPK under REDD+ (e.g. Under the Job Creation Law, we are interested to know which land areas will be set apart for NDCs [Nationally Determined Contributions] via REDD+ and which will be converted for the business sector.” [Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience 2050](https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/Indonesia_LTS-LCCR_2021.pdf) (LTS-LCCR).

Google's John Mueller Shares Advice For Getting A Job In Tech (Search Engine Journal)

Learn from Google's Search Advocate, John Mueller, how to position yourself for success and increase your chances of getting hired at a major tech company.

Ideally, find someone with a similar position at one of the companies you’re interested in, and pick their brain. Getting a job in a downturn like this is probably harder and more chaotic — though that can be ok too. My assumption is with layoffs & co, bigger companies will pause hiring for a while, maybe 6-18 months, and then they’ll want to get moving full speed again. Anyway, none of this is really specific to Google, but generally speaking with the recession or pseudo-recession or whatever it is, my recommendation would be to take the time to get your skills & knowledge up to a high level, and then seriously look into a job once things start to pick up again. I’m guessing product management comes close? Mueller advises potential job applicants to take the time to build their skills and knowledge to a high level and make industry contacts.

We have the kind of past in this country that we can draw on to help us build the kind of future that we all want. We need to help them understand that a more holistic education is actually going to help them do better in school, in the job market, and in life. We should be thinking about how we can advocate for everyone to have the right to a college degree while we’re also advocating for everybody who works for a living, whether they have a college degree or not, to have a good job, to have health care, to have rights at work. And when you get to the 2010s, you have efforts in both parties to kind of blow up this idea, right? This moment led the Democratic Party on a path of pushing for education instead of other kinds of reforms. It doesn’t account for the local economy and the kinds of jobs that are available. And that symbolically elevated education above all these other departments, which, by the way, was really controversial; civil rights activists like Shirley Chisholm, who was in Congress, [were] deeply opposed, because she said, “How can you think about education as not being connected to health care and social welfare?” What I think colleges and universities should do right now is to stop selling this myth that education is going to be the great equalizer. Humanities and social sciences are really important to help those students have the intellectual resources they need to understand the inequalities around them and be successful and not internalize things that are basically structural. To the extent that universities were really involved in that, the Wisconsin Idea, developed in the late 19th century, was about using evidence-based construction of knowledge at the University of Wisconsin to help inform public policies that could do something about the massive inequalities that existed. So they had to basically be able to say to students, “Come get a college degree; this is going to open doors for you—this is going to create new jobs.” A: One of the things that happened is, starting in the 1970s, public investment in public higher education decreased, when adjusted for inflation.

The redundancies concern the region of Wallonia in Belgium and the province of Liège in particular.

“Considering opportunities with staffing and consulting companies, in addition to direct employment opportunities, can offer the opportunity to work with a variety of top companies and gain exposure to a variety of projects and teams,” she says. And for those who take the steps today to begin learning this combination of tech and professional skills, it looks even brighter. “More and more employers are identifying key gaps in their workforce and candidates in soft skills which many find just as critical in an employee’s successful contribution to an organization as their technical capabilities,” says Kiefer. “This can be a great option as you look to figure out next steps and determine what’s most important to you.” There are still plenty of signs that opportunities in technology will continue to grow in 2023 and beyond.” With their campaign, Experis plans to connect with 50,000 job seekers in the technology sector. “This should be a continuous process for anyone in the tech industry. But the good news is that many IT tech companies are still looking to hire. And that data doesn’t include opportunities for IT roles within companies outside the IT industry. What’s counterintuitive, though, is that the skills gap isn’t just about tech skills. Some of that shift can be attributed to continued unease about what the economy holds for the coming year. That’s caused ripples of concern and uncertainty among job seekers—especially members of the younger generations who might have recently started their careers or who will soon be.

Meta's job cuts are about Mark Zuckerberg's mistakes. (Business Insider)

Mark Zuckerberg blames the economy for his company's workforce problems, but investors have always blamed Meta and its CEO.

Investors had a positive response on Wednesday as Meta's stock rose 6% again off the news of more layoffs. He continued: "Higher interest rates lead to the economy running leaner, more geopolitical instability leads to more volatility, and increased regulation leads to slower growth and increased costs of innovation." Investors have begun calling for Zuckerberg to hedge those bets. But those efforts have yet to materialize into actual revenue for the company, even as it spends billions on research and development. The world economy changed, competitive pressures grew, and our growth slowed considerably." What's more, 5,000 open roles would be closed, showing just how serious the company is about slimming down their workforce and reducing operating costs overall.
