Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn's chief economic opportunity officer, emphasizes the importance of recognizing personal strengths and continuous learning for job seekers, especially recent graduates facing high unemployment rates. He suggests that candidates develop a 'story of self' to highlight unique skills and experiences. Despite challenges like slow hiring rates and a saturated job market, Raman encourages younger workers to adapt by embracing new technologies, particularly AI, which can enhance their existing skill sets and help them stand out to employers.
I think the most important, difficult, and exciting task that entry-level workers should start with is to define their story of self. What are the skills that you uniquely have and that you've built across lived and learned experience?
The second step is to learn something every day. That starts with AI. What are the tools? How do you use them? How are you using them in service of the skills that you've got, in service of the expertise you want to build?
