This week, artificial intelligence continues to redefine how we work and search for jobs. We invite you to stay updated on these changes so you can anticipate and adapt your career to the new opportunities and challenges that arise.
🤖 What professional tasks are changing with new AI tools?
During the week of September 21-27, 2026, we've seen a surge in AI assistants streamlining daily tasks across various professions. From drafting reports and emails to generating code or preliminary designs, these tools free up time for professionals to focus on more strategic and creative aspects. For example, in marketing, AI helps generate campaign drafts and segmentations, while in development, code copilots suggest solutions and detect errors, accelerating development cycles.
🚀 What AI skills are in demand and how can you demonstrate them?
Companies are increasingly looking for 'AI literacy,' meaning the ability to interact with and leverage AI tools effectively. This ranges from knowing how to use copilots for specific tasks to understanding the basic principles of how AI works in your sector. To reflect this on your CV or LinkedIn profile, simply listing tools isn't enough; it's crucial to describe the results achieved. For instance, instead of just mentioning "Used ChatGPT," you could say "Optimized content writing for [X] with generative AI, resulting in a Y% increase in engagement."

🔍 How is AI affecting your job search and selection processes?
Artificial intelligence is transforming how companies find talent. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are becoming increasingly sophisticated, using AI to screen résumés based not only on keywords but also on contextual relevance and document structure. Furthermore, AI is used in evaluating asynchronous interviews and generating ideal candidate profiles. This means that customizing your CV and cover letter for each opening, ensuring the format is machine-readable and contains key terms, is more important than ever. Portfolios and practical tests are also gaining weight, especially in technical and creative roles, as a way to demonstrate skills beyond the CV.
⚖️ Should we worry about privacy when using AI?
The growing integration of AI in work and job searching also raises privacy concerns. It's crucial to be aware of what personal or company data we share with public AI tools. Some companies are developing their own internal versions of these tools to mitigate risks. For workers, this means being selective about the information entered into external platforms, especially if it contains sensitive or confidential data. Consulting the privacy policies of the tools you use is a prudent step.
