Will You Be Required to Know AI When Applying for Your Next Job?



Have you been thinking about learning an AI app like Chat GPT?

If you’re looking for a job, then there’s no better time to gain some experience using the software. Recent studies show that over 90 percent of business leaders in the midst of hiring are looking for Chat GPT experience. Why? Because they think it gives their company a competitive advantage. If you are starting to build your AI skills, here are a few ways to stand out among your competition. 


Be on top of what’s new.

AI technology is known to change quickly, so you’ll be ahead of the game if you just keep up with what’s on the horizon. You can do this by constantly searching for and reading about what’s happening with the technology. Look for email lists that keep you informed too. CNBC says, “If anything, it’s at least ‘really important to try’ and build a fundamental knowledge of what’s going on behind the scenes with AI news.”


Show you can use AI now.

Look for ways to use AI wherever possible in your current pursuits. If you're still working in another position, seek out whatever opportunities you can to use something like Chat GPT to make your work life easier. This is where you can really begin to comprehend the software and see what the strengths and weaknesses are. You can also begin to understand what the best prompts are that you can write to get the most out of the software. If you're still with a company, ask your manager if your company has a policy about using AI, since it's a tool available to the public.



Demonstrate achieving a goal.

After you've spent some time using something like Chat GPT, demonstrate the results. In other words, be able to show how you've created a product using Chat GPT or how you've added practical value to a project through the software. According to CNBC, "If you want to take it to the next level, you can fine-tune these large language models based on your proprietary business data." Companies want to see how you're using this software to produce. 



No one knows what the future holds, and the upcoming job market does look a little volatile.

However, if you work on your AI skills, it's one way to solidify your position and gain traction when others around you can't find a job. Look especially for positions like product designer, software engineer, and data scientist when it comes to AI. AI skills can lead to high-paying positions, so it pays off to spend time learning all you can.
