It's a question that most people have asked themselves or been asked in job interviews, by mentors, career advisors or even just their parents. "The thing that matters most is skills," Raman said. Next to skills, learning should be another key focal point and goes hand in hand with being able to adapt in an ever-changing job market. He has said that asking about the culture of learning is the most important question job seekers can ask in interviews. This is due to the changing nature of jobs and the labor market, Raman said.

There are plenty of good questions to ask during a job interview to get to know your potential new employer. "The most important question to ask before you accept a job is: What is your culture of learning?" These offerings are pretty typical but don't address the actual culture of learning, Raman says. Instead, listen for evidence of the following six components of a culture of learning, according to LinkedIn expert Britt Andreatta: Learning opportunities aren't just limited to scheduled courses. Junior workers may especially benefit from asking how managers promote a culture of learning, Raman says.

When your boss is the president of the United States and gives you career advice, you take it. Aneesh Raman was working as a speechwriter for President Barack Obama from 2011 to 2013 and remembers one key piece of career advice the president would often share: "Worry about what you want to do, not who you want to be." Before his political career, Obama got his start in community organizing in Chicago. LinkedIn recently identified fast-growing jobs on the rise in 2024, including chief growth officer and sustainability analyst — many of which didn't exist 20 years ago. This framework is the "safest" way to think of a long-lasting career, Raman says, "because you can control all of those levers, versus job title.

That's according to a new report from career-site Indeed analyzing educational requirements in US job postings since January 2019. As employers shift from formal educational requirements to skills-first hiring, job seekers might want to think about their skills. Even with a shift away from college degree requirements, there could be assumed credentials and levels of education, per the new report. "There's a lot of sectors where it's really common for jobs to not include any educational requirements whatsoever," Stahle said. Controlling for occupational mix, the percentage of job postings that require a college degree has only fallen by 3.6 percent over that period."

☆ The A.I. Economy Will Make Jobs More Human - The New York Times

There have been just a handful of moments over the centuries when we have experienced a huge shift in the skills our economy values most. Technical and data skills that have been highly sought after for decades appear to be among the most exposed to advances in artificial intelligence. But other skills, particularly the people skills that we have long undervalued as “soft,” will very likely remain the most durable. In today’s knowledge economy, many students are focused on gaining technical skills because those skills are seen as the most competitive when it comes to getting a good job. For decades, we have viewed those jobs as “future-proof” given the growth of technology companies and the fact that engineering majors land the highest-paying jobs.

☆ The No. 1 soft skill you need to get hired right now, according to LinkedIn–and how to mention it in an interview
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The difference between landing a job offer or a rejection can come down to how well you adjust to a fast-paced environment and interact with your colleagues. Communication is the top skill companies are hiring for right now, while adaptability is a soft skill that's "increasingly in demand" across a wide range of industries, according to new research from LinkedIn. Employers want to hire people who can quickly adapt to these ongoing changes, says LinkedIn vice president Aneesh Raman. "Adaptability is the best way to have agency right now," he notes in the report. "At its core, communication is essential for connecting, inspiring, building trust and getting work done effectively," she adds.

A new LinkedIn report noted adaptability as the "top skill of the moment." LinkedIn's Aneesh Raman said this skill is important given how AI is emerging in the workplace. Adaptability is important too given the number of jobs impacted by AI. "The main takeaway for me is that communication, not coding, is the number one skill across jobs," Raman said. AdvertisementAs job seekers search for work in a labor market with 1.4 US job openings per unemployed person as of December, being adaptable could be important regardless of whether you're looking for work.

The iPhone maker in June announced its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset at an eyepopping price of $3,499 when it goes on sale next year. "There's curiosity for sure with Apple entering the market," said Tom Symonds, CEO of the UK-based VR firm Immerse. Apple CEO Tim Cook stands next to the new Apple Vision Pro headset. At its high price point, the Vision Pro will likely be more of a product for businesses, Seitz said. Initially, the price is too high and the Vision Pro will require users to wear a battery pack, creating an added nuisance during a workout.

De Graaf, a 30-year veteran of the European Commission, was tasked with resurrecting the EU office in the Bay Area. The generative AI boomGenerative AI was a virtually foreign concept when de Graaf arrived in San Francisco last September. In June, the European Parliament cleared a major step in passing the EU AI Act, which would represent the EU's package of AI regulations. Tech companies that have for years criticized the EU for overly aggressive regulations are now asking, "Why is it taking you so long?" The rapidly changing landscape of generative AI makes it tricky for the EU to quickly formulate regulations.
