Chapter 161: Get A New Job

How Smart Tools Can Help You Grow, Upskill, and Navigate Your Next Career Move

Happy Workflow Wednesday!

Did you miss Ben this week? Lucky guy is off for US Memorial Day. Ben and Leo get all the days off.

First off, if you like what we've been putting out, please tell a friend!​

Let's talk about getting a new gig. Takes a lot of organization!

Whether you're just starting out, aiming for a promotion, or planning a pivot, building your career takes intention—and a lot of time. In a world that’s changing fast, it can feel hard to know what skills to build, how to position yourself, or even what your next move should be. That’s where AI comes in. Think of it as your digital career coach: helping you upskill, polish your resume, prep for interviews, and stay connected—all without adding to your overwhelm. Let’s look at how AI can help you get strategic, stay focused, and move confidently toward your next big opportunity.

Why Career Growth Feels Overwhelming

Career development used to mean climbing a single ladder, one rung at a time. Now? It’s more like navigating a jungle gym—full of pivots, side moves, and new tools to learn. But between juggling your current job, maybe a side hustle, and a personal life, it can be tough to even think about your next step. That’s where AI can save you time and energy. It helps you identify opportunities, sharpen your materials, and stay ahead—without feeling like you need to clone yourself.

Meet Jade

Jade is a junior data analyst with big goals—she wants to move into a senior role, but she’s not sure where to start. Between learning Python, managing projects, and trying to update her resume, she felt stuck. So Jade turned to AI. She asked an AI assistant to help rewrite her resume to better reflect her leadership skills. Then she used an AI upskilling platform to take bite-sized lessons based on skills listed in jobs she was interested in. Finally, she used an AI chatbot to draft a few cold outreach messages to professionals in her field. A few weeks later, Jade had two coffee chats booked, a cleaner resume, and a clear roadmap. Momentum achieved.

Tip​
​
Since this goes out on a Wednesday (hello midweek slump), here’s your nudge to set aside 20 minutes today to make one small move toward your future self. Try searching a job you might want, then ask your AI assistant to list the top 5 skills it mentions. That’s your unofficial learning path. Or paste in your current resume and ask AI to rewrite it with a focus on results instead of responsibilities. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just start.

Or hey, if YOU aren't looking for a new gig, just forward this to a friend how might be looking.

Chat It Up - Let's Ask Our Fav Chatbot

You: “I know I should be working on my career goals, but between work and everything else, I don’t even know where to start.”

AI: “Totally get it. Let’s begin with something simple. Do you have a specific career path in mind, or are you looking to explore options?”

You: “I want to move into leadership eventually, but I’m not sure if I’m ready or what skills I’m missing.”

AI: “Let’s look at some job postings for roles you’d love to have a year from now. I’ll help you spot trends in the skills they’re asking for, then we can map out a few ways to build them.”

You: “Okay, but I also hate updating my resume.”

AI: “No problem—I can help rewrite it to better show your accomplishments and leadership potential. Want to paste it in and we’ll clean it up together?”

You: “Yeah. Let’s do that. Maybe this won’t be as overwhelming as I thought.”

AI: “Exactly. Step-by-step progress adds up fast. I’ve got you.”

You Got This

Career growth isn’t a race—it’s a series of small, intentional steps. With AI on your team, you can make those steps easier, faster, and more personalized. Whether you’re updating your resume, learning something new, or networking in your field, there’s a tool that can help you move forward without the stress. So wherever you are on your path, take that next step. You’ve got this.
