Almost Timely News: 🗞️ How To Use Generative AI to Pivot Your Career
This week, we're going to wade into deep waters: using generative AI to pivot your career. Career stuff has come up a lot recently, and for good reason: lots of people are looking for work.
Why Career Pivoting Matters
A career pivot is when you do something different, when you change directions. That's fairly obvious. But one of the most challenging things for the job seeker to do is to decide where and how to pivot.
Pivoting is about taking a look at your specific and durable skills. Folks like to call these hard and soft skills, but that's kind of a weird distinction. When doing exercises, it's important to focus on skills that are durable and transferable, regardless of your current position or industry.
For example, a career that started out in IT could pivot into marketing due to the convergence of technology and marketing in the early 2000s. The key was leveraging durable skills such as curiosity, persistence, and critical thinking to adapt to the changing landscape.
Personal Career Pivots
Personal experiences also highlight the importance of pivoting. From transitioning from IT to marketing to specializing in analytics and email marketing, each pivot was driven by durable skills that allowed for seamless transitions.
Machine learning and AI played a significant role in shaping career paths, with each pivot opening up new opportunities and areas of expertise.
Utilizing Generative AI for Career Pivots
Generative AI tools can now assist individuals in identifying their durable skills and making informed career pivots. By analyzing text data and leveraging reasoning models like ChatGPT, individuals can gain insights into their personality traits and skillsets.
Using tools like the Big 5 Personality Test and deep research reports can provide a comprehensive analysis of one's traits and help in understanding how these traits align with career goals.
Conclusion
Career pivoting is not just about changing jobs but about leveraging your durable skills to adapt to new opportunities and challenges. With the help of generative AI and personality analysis tools, individuals can make informed decisions about their career paths and set themselves up for success in a rapidly evolving job market.
