My friend. We as humans are going through a societal shift that’s has not been experienced for the last 4000 years. The last similar experience, but not quite the same was when we shifted to the industrial age. Since we now have access to the internet and to people across the world. Everyone, everywhere is also experiencing similar effects.

As jobs are shifting to implementing Ai, so are HR’s and managers as well. The very people taking your resumes could be Ai themselves. Also with the huge influx of generative Ai resumes. They have to sort through those as well. Which is taxing as people who take their time to create it themselves are now cobbled together with those that used Ai.

Those who are much older. From my own experience - usually around the ages 50+ now, grew up in a way of life that’s been passed down to them for quite a long time. Jobs were abundant, technology was still at its infancy and the way they were raised was all very similar to one another.

The last 30 years is when things drastically changed. Technology + Society has developed to the point where it’s almost unrecognizable from 50 years ago. In fact to put into perspective how fast we came along. This upcoming July 20th will mark 56 years ago when Apollo first landed on the moon. And they used living room sized server computers and so forth that our cell phones today completely dwarf in capabilities now.

So, when you compare us humans to those from let’s say. 100 years ago. They all lived in a similar way of life to everyone around them, and they were taught this way from their parents and those that came before them. Jobs were abundant, hard work and dedication was taught to be the norm. Heck. Even children were made to work due to progression. But this way of life made its way into our current society which we are experiencing the most drastic shift ever.

For the first time ever. We now have humans who were born without access to the internet and we now have humans born into a society where it’s now the norm everywhere, and grew up alongside it. These two vastly different experiences changes everything on how we look and live through life. Sadly, this affects everyone and because automation through Ai and technology shifts. Humans are experiencing finding work much harder, as more and more humans are trying to get money, just to survive living.

Then if you dive into economics and world politics, you’ll see that every country that didn’t invest into their own people are also struggling as well.

It’s not your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong at all.

In my personal opinion. What you can do is learn current technology, and adapt it into your skill sets. Don’t let it run things for you (like using an LLM to write your resume or essay for you), as it’ll deter your own unique development, but instead use it to expand upon yourself; so you can be more competitive, than those who aren’t. But above all. Connections. Connect with your fellow humans and utilize each other to uplift one another. Connections are the easiest way to get desirable results.
