AI isn't coming for your job.

2

It already took the one you're about

to apply for entry level hiring

3

is down 44% since 2022, and this

year alone, it dropped another 16%.

4

The rapid rise of AI is leading

companies to rethink how entry

5

level roles are structured.

6

Many are automating routine tasks

or delaying hires altogether to see

7

how AI reshapes their workflows.

8

Here's what that means for you.

9

AI is replacing the

repetitive, slow parts of work.

10

Companies don't need as many assistance

analysts or coordinators as they used

11

to, so they're reevaluating who they

hire or whether they hire at all.

12

So you've got two choices.

13

You can compete against AI or learn to use

it to do your job faster than anyone else.

14

Hiring managers are overwhelmed

with applications, but they're

15

also asking, can this job be done

faster, cheaper, or automatically?

16

And more often than not, the answer is

yes if they plug in the right AI tools.

17

This isn't about replacing people.

18

It's about replacing outdated manual

workflows with smarter, faster systems.

19

So here's what to do.

20

Pick one AI tool.

21

Learn it until it saves you an hour a day.

22

Make it part of your

resume and your routine.

23

Because if someone else can do your job

twice as fast with ai, they'll get hired.

24

They'll get promoted, they'll

get paid more, and in some cases,

25

AI will replace you, not because

you weren't good, but because the

26

work didn't need a human anymore.

27

So either you learn to use the tools.

28

Or risk getting replaced by them.
