Thriving in Today's Job Market: Key Takeaways 📝 Economic Optimism Meets Reality: While economic indicators are upbeat, job seekers feel the pinch with recent layoffs.

THAT TIME OF THE YEAR , when people really care about you (watch out, a bit of sarcasm on its way) Yes, it’s that time of the year when you realise you, or rather your email address, have been in somebody’s distribution list for the year but nobody ever bothered to answer your emails, contact you for that interesting opportunity, acknowledged your message or returned your call to find out about your profile, your work experience, which would be also in their interest so they’re ready when the next opportunity becomes available…Naaah, not that important!! All that screening can be done now by ATS or by an AI-based tool which know nothing about your skills, professional maturity, personal growth path, reasons for changing jobs, educational path, soft skills matured across time and world experiences, etc… It is much more important to send you an automated email or broadcast a post that goes indistinctly to anybody to say how great the year has been and how challenging, yet positive, the outcome is for the next one coming, perhaps quoting we live in this “VUCA” world (btw I haven’t seen this VUCA acronym in a bit, what’s the most recent one now?) and of course wish you Merry Christmas (or rather happy holiday seasons that is more inclusive) Oh btw who are you in the first place ? Don’t worry, the system knows, that’s what matters, but the wishes are heartfelt and truly spontaneous and genuine. (Yeah, right! :) Technology is beautiful and it helps us in so many ways, however we are losing the human touch and leaving everything to the system and their in-built bias to connect with people. I think of Minsky who coined the expression “suitcase word” in the AI world, which is perfectly summarising the effect the above useless communication (at least for me) have on people, where feelings, emotions, ability to interpret a feedback in a way that no system can, are not taken into account. I hope we will establish more of those human and personal connections, that spontaneous and true networking which no system is able to deliver to reach our hearts and reach our minds as professionals or simply as persons. #continuouslearning #recruitment #networking #AI #ATS #suitcasewords #humantouch #emotions #automation #technology #happynewyear
