[Natalia Bielczyk, PhD 🇵🇱 🇳🇱 🇺🇸 @natbielczyk]

ust a few days back, we celebrated ChatGPT's second birthday. Since that day two years ago, the job market turned upside down.

There are multiple new professions (such as 'prompt engineer' - not to look too far), new ways of learning, new ways of searching for jobs, and new ways of preparing for job interviews.

In the last few weeks, I have spent much time summarizing all the significant changes you need to incorporate in your job hunt to adapt to this new situation where we co-exist with AI.

I learned many of these tricks and techniques here in San Francisco.

The material has turned into 50+ (!) pages of brand new, additional content in my book - just updated on Amazon.

What can I say... I cannot think of any resource more up-to-date with the job market than this book!

I hope it helps many people with their New Year's Resolutions. 🧡 🎄
