INSIGHT

AI Is Rapidly Rewriting Job Skillsets

  • AI is reshaping jobs: average job skills changed 25% recently and may change 70% by 2030.
  • LinkedIn already sees 1.3 million AI-related roles created in the past year like data center and annotator jobs, signaling net new demand.
ADVICE

Audit Your Job By Tasks Not Title

  • Treat your job as a set of tasks and sort your top 10–20 tasks into three buckets: automatable, AI-assisted, and uniquely human.
  • If most tasks are automatable, proactively plan to move to a role with more human-differentiated work.
ADVICE

Apply With AI Projects Not Resumes

  • Show what you can build with AI when applying for roles instead of relying on degree or past employers.
  • LinkedIn's Builder role asks applicants to demonstrate projects built with AI as the primary evaluation.
