""I would make something with AI that that team is probably not using or doing. I would send it to everybody on that team and I'd say, 'look, I built this for you, and I doubt you have this, and if you hire me, I will build more of it,' Rogier says. 'That will get every hiring manager to respond to the email and want to talk to you. "It'll be so far ahead of what their internal teams are built, they'll be like, holy shit, I need that on my team,' he adds.""
""It's something MasterClass CEO David Rogier calls "messed up." "You went, you studied, you interned, you used all these stamps on your passport, almost a proof of, I work hard, I'm smart, I care-but those things aren't valued in the workplace anymore," he tells Fortune.""
AI is reshaping the job market for Gen Z college graduates, producing significant and disproportionate impacts on entry-level roles. Traditional signals — degrees, internships, and résumé stamps — are losing value for many employers. One practical response is to choose an industry of interest, immerse briefly in its challenges, and build an AI-driven tool or product that a target team likely lacks. Delivering that work directly to team members and offering to build more showcases immediate utility and can trigger hiring-manager engagement. Several business leaders frame AI as an opportunity, and some firms are launching career-focused courses to bridge gaps.
