Getting Ahead Now Requires Visibility, Not Just Ability
"Most people feel if they do a good job, the work will be rewarded. Perhaps a promotion or salary bump. They're wrong. The rules of career advancement have changed with the generations and advancement of social media and artificial intelligence (AI). Those who rise are not simply those who work the hardest. They are those who are visible. LinkedIn reports that online job submissions have doubled since 2022 while AI-enabled roles have skyrocketed to 1.3 million."
"AI Literacy Is the New Baseline LinkedIn's latest reports shows that in the United States, there is a 70 percent year over year increase in roles requiring AI literacy. A new LinkedIn report on workforce attitudes toward AI shows that American based employees are now twice as likely to use AI products in their job on a daily or weekly basis, compared with a year and a half ago."
"But the world of work is changing faster than ever. LinkedIn's latest data shows a doubling of competition for roles, and a 20% slower hiring process compared with pre-pandemic timelines. Two-thirds of recruiters plan to increase their use of AI for pre-screening applications. To stand out, you must realize that your work no longer speaks for itself. You have to speak for it."
Visibility has become a decisive factor in career advancement, and excellent work alone no longer guarantees recognition. Online job submissions have doubled since 2022 while AI-enabled roles have jumped to 1.3 million, and creator and Founder roles have grown sharply. Roles requiring AI literacy in the United States rose about 70% year over year, and employees are much more likely to use AI regularly. Competition for roles has doubled and hiring processes are slower, with many recruiters increasing AI pre-screening. High performers who avoid self-promotion risk being overlooked as competence becomes camouflage.
