Most people are preparing for a version of the job market that no longer exists.<\/p>\n
Artificial intelligence, automation and global competition are rewriting the rules of careers and job searching at a pace most cannot keep up with.<\/p>\n
Key Blog Ideas<\/p>\n
– The old rules don’t apply: the market is divided between companies with very little money (they can’t take risks) and those with huge budgets (very few in between).<\/p>\n
– Hiring for unlikely roles: Companies often hire for very specific or \u201cstrange\u201d jobs that traditional training does not prepare you for.<\/p>\n
– Proof of work > Resume: Companies are more concerned with demonstrable results (\u201cproof of work\u201d) than with a resume or generic projects.<\/p>\n
– Coding is not enough: the future is not just coding, it is coding plus something else: automation, product ownership, systems thinking.<\/p>\n
– Top-tier jobs dominate: Average jobs are shrinking; there is a bifurcation into highly paid, highly skilled entry-level roles and fewer \u201cjust good\u201d jobs.<\/p>\n
What is \u201cProof of Work\u201d?<\/p>\n
Forget CVs \u2013 companies want proof that you can send valuable things:<\/p>\n
– Not just routine projects that everyone builds, but tools actually used by real people.<\/p>\n
– Demonstrate that you solve real problems (automation, electronics, IoT, full-stack products).<\/p>\n
– Get your project tested and used by “real users” – that’s proof of work.<\/p>\n
Think: anything that adds value or profit to a company, that you can prove really works, gets you hired.<\/p>\n
Why average jobs are disappearing<\/p>\n
There is a clear division:<\/p>\n
– Top-level roles: huge salaries, intense expectations, rare skills.<\/p>\n
– Mid\/low level roles: decreasing; only those with basic skills receive an “acceptable” salary.<\/p>\n
– In the future, excellence in one area will get you paid; Being \u201caverage\u201d is a risky bet.<\/p>\n
How to prepare for the future of work<\/p>\n
– Create real products with real users, not just portfolios.<\/p>\n
– Mix skills: Coding + automation, electronics + robotics, design + product thinking.<\/p>\n
– Focus on foundational needs: food, comfort, entertainment, skills, health. Whatever solves them will survive the change.<\/p>\n
– Find \u201cstrange\u201d niches; Don’t aim for what everyone else does; aim higher.<\/p>\n
– Show companies that you generate measurable benefits or value.<\/p>\n
The \u201cReverse Employment Portal\u201d model<\/p>\n
Some modern companies allow you to apply based on your unique value rather than choosing from standard listings. Example: shars.com\/jobs, where you tell the company what you are best at and if they see value, they hire you.<\/p>\n
