What You Can Do to Prepare Your Kids for Future Robot-Induced #8216;Jobliteration#8217;

What You Can Do to Prepare Your Kids for Future Robot-Induced 8216Jobliteration8217 What You Can Do to Prepare Your Kids for Future Robot-Induced 8216Jobliteration8217 Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently reassured us that we have nothing to fear from robots. But then he previously reassured us that if we have nothing to hide (in the criminal or moral sense), surveillance shouldnt worry us (as though your pin number, email comments of yours taken out of context, details of your childs unaccompanied whereabouts, or your unpublished invention blueprints shouldnt be hidden).Clearly, even if we dont have to fear for our lives, our future employment is another matter entirely.So, exactly what sorts of jobs will be available 15 years from now, when, news headlines already suggest, your 5-year-old will probably not only be unable to become a fireman, an astronaut or even a cowboy (because all those jobs will have been handed over to robots or other forms of automation and artificial intellige nce), but also wont have a hope of becoming much of anything else- unless (s)hes a towering creative genius?What do you do if your kid is, as most by definition are and probably will be, average?The Coming JobliterationThanks mostly to robots, AI, other automation and technological innovation, Nearly 50 per cent of occupations today will no longer exist in 2025. New jobs will require creative intelligence, social and emotional intelligence and ability to leverage artificial intelligence. Those jobs will be immensely mora fulfilling than todays jobsYeah, right if your kid is smart or well-educated enough to get one- allowing that these are not equivalent, if only because of the increasing unaffordability elite degrees. But one hope is that the average will be shifted upward to meet the daunting robot challenges, competition, and- of courseopportunities. This means not just an extension of the Flynn effect, viz., the observed multinational trend toward higher IQs, but also engineered interventions, such as staggering super-human memory enhancements or amplified cognitive parallel processing capabilities and speeds.For the average kid, it may not matter much whether its 50% of the total number of job vacancies or 50% of the job categories that will disappear, unless, by some miracle, a handful of job categories spring up requiring hundreds of millions of workers- assuming that unlike jobs,the global population will continue to increase and by a lot. (The report stating that estimate, Fast Forward 2030 The Future of Work and the Workplace, prepared by global realty consulting giant CBRE and China-based Genesis, a property developer, forecasts occupational category declines, not numerical vacancy decreases.)Then there are reports claiming that data in the US suggests that technology already destroys mora jobs than it creates (based in part on statistical trends indicating that since 2000, GDP has been able to grow faster than employment).Or are such frightening pre dictions just so much and too much dystopian ranting and fear-mongering? (But some futurologists seem more optimistic.) In any case, parents want to know now, even if their kids will find out only much later- perhaps only when its too late. All parents need to know, including those parents who should provide guidance for their kids, but dont and those who do provide guidance, but shouldnt, e.g., by pressuring their children to follow the path of family tradition and become a dentist.What Parents Can Do to Prepare Their Kids for JobliterationIm neither a credentialed futurologist nor a parent, but my track record with forecasts (including estimating the costs of being a dad) has been pretty good and I can still think,unassisted by a robot or brain implants. So, heres how I would prepare my kid, if I had one. I would steer the kids career toward or away from the following or to a career that otherwise takes one or more of these considerations and options into account (with YES and NO designating a thumbs-up and thumbs-down, respectively, for each strategy)COBOT PROFESSIONS (YES) All of your distress about your sons time wasted on video games may be needless, if, a few short years from now, semi-autonomous drones remain far more numerous than fully autonomous versions. Military and civilian employment opportunities for him may be plentiful, because of the great skills-challenge match between those thousands of hours logged on Mortal Kombat and the demands of aerial delivery of Air Force or Amazon packages. Those pattern-recognition, eye-hand coordination and multi-focus skills will be just what the jobs will require (unless the human ground-operator is, like the pilot, also replaced by a robotic system).This meanscobotjobs- jobs that essentially require permanent collaboration between a robot and a human, and collaboration or cooperation that is not optional for the robot (although possibly for the human). Your familys challenge will be to anticipate, identify an d track such professions - including job opportunities in the drone sector, if the semi-autonomous drone business spawns more cobot drones to spy on the cobot drones that are spying on the cobot drones that are spying on you, thereby creating more jobs for human operators. To see how that would work, check out South Parks recent (season 18) episode,The Magic Bush. (Warning infantile adult content.)INFORMATION RECORDING, INPUT AND RETRIEVAL (NO) Any job or career that is primarily, if not exclusively, a matter of recording, inputting and retrieving information will almost certainly be a bad choice. The range of such jobs spans simple data entry clerk to librarian and NASA asteroid monitor.It is one thing to design or operate recording, input and retrieval systems, but quite another to be one. It is these latter categories that are unlikely to exist as occupational slots in the near future.MECHANICAL SKILLS (NO) Because any mechanical skill, e.g., machine operator, carpenter, assembly line worker, post office sorter are deterministic- i.e., follow clearly specificable algorithms and flow charts, they are mechanical in the sense of being programmable. The key thing to understand here is that a job doesnt have to involve machines to be mechanical in this broader sense and therefore vulnerable to elimination through automation, whether robotic or not.All that is required is that the tasks and job description can be designed and executed in conformity with a flowchart or algorithm that contains no indeterminate or vague elements lacking an algorithm themselves, such as if yes, create an idea at this step or secure funding at this step If the job can be carried out in precise linear or parallel sequences, with no mysterious or intuitive intervening steps, the odds are that at some point it will no longer exist.For example, I asked a carpenter friend of mine whether he can think of even one carpentry task that could not, in principle, be automated. Hes still thinking- and, for now, still employed. Kids thinking of following in his tradesmans footsteps will probably be better off thinking about a different career. (Note, however, that there may still be work for woodworking sculptors or carpenter-designers, to the extent that their flashes of creative genius cannot be replicated by AI software. )HUMAN SPECIALIST CAREERS (YES) Like replica medieval barmaids and friars working the doors and the floors in modern tourist-trap Ye Olde Banquet-type taverns and inns, some of your kids may find employment as comparable kinds of performance artists or exhibits- serving as (im)perfect embodiments or performers of distinctive and historical human attributes and/or capacities.This doesnt necessary mean being on display as an exhibit in a human zoo or a jar it could involve professorships in Human Studies that are awarded on the basis of authenticity, first-hand knowledge and the unique capacity to be the observer and subject of an academic discipline. Human zoo curator or ethologist also comes to mind in this connection.If that doesnt work out, income supplementation by working as a paid human blood donor- for robot researchers, if not transfusions- may help.UNEMPLOYED-HUMAN SUPPORT GROUP COUNSELOR (YES) Self-explanatory, this is an extension or application of the current unemployment-counselor strategy If you cant find a job, try to get one helping others with the same problem. Having a human supervising the group is desirable, because of the commonalities of background, expectations, understanding, credibility, etc.EXPANDED JOB DESCRIPTIONS (YES) One aspect of securing future employment is to make it more secure, once it is gained. The robotic and AI revolutions may actually make some human jobs more secure while eliminating others. For example, it has been reported that, in Canada, journalism schools are now even giving specialist courses in reporting with drones. That broadens the reporting zones and circumstances, e.g., live from the erupting craters depths In other sectors- mining, for example, drones may provide safer access to remote potential sites through up-close aerial reconnaissance.So, parents may want to consider the future job-description expansion potential of identifiable prospective jobs for their kids.ROBO-AGE TEMPING (YES) Until robots and AI systems become fully self-manufacturing, self-monitoring, self-repairing and self-marketing, they will create jobs for humans, partially replacing those they destroy. In the bigger picture, those created jobs, however professional and skilled, will probably turn out to be temporary- lasting only as long as it takes the robots to make those workers, if not the jobs themselves, redundant.For example, the US industry group Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) estimated in 2013 that It could create more than 70,000 new jobs, including 34,000 manufacturing positions, in three years, the group forecast. In 10 years, it projects 100,000 jobs will be a dded.Nice- but better, if permanent.EXPANDED HUMAN CAPABILITIES (YES, even if reluctant) A very smart career goal for your kids to set relates to targeting his or her supply-side skills and capabilities, rather than future jobs to be targeted. Just as getting a degree has been a core objective in career planning for decades, getting pharmaceutical, surgical, cyborg and other enhancements to stay competitive not only with other humans, but also with humanoid and other robots or AI software, is likely to become a trend- and then a requirement.Sure, at first you will balk at having a smart(er) chip implanted in your childs brain or have your fetus genetically engineered to dwarf Einsteins intelligence even while still dwarfed by Einstein in size. But once the smirking neighbor drops by with her chipped-off-the-old-block 6-year-old who speaks and reads 35 languages, including ancient Sumerian, thanks to that implant, youll drag you kid to surgery the next time he yelps, I want some chip sEXPLOITATION OF ROBOT VULNERABILITIES (YES) Imagine time-travel technologies that require chrononauts to travel back into times when the designed energy recharge sources or repair capabilities for the extant robots didnt exist, e.g., the medieval era. That could be one job strictly for humans. Of course, this example is fanciful- but it makes the point that there may remain or emerge some jobs that humans can do better than robots because of robot inherent vulnerabilities. A more down-to-Earth example would be space-station human physiological experiments and observation, which, by definition, robots would be unsuitable for.INTERPRETER SKILLS (YES) Interpretation skills are among the non-algorithmic, non-mechanical skills that pose the stiffest challenges to robotics. Whether it is a matter of interpreting an X-ray, a poem, a geopolitical initiative, a painting or customer resistance to an advertising campaign, human interpretation is more likely to be among the last, not the first skills replicated and surpassed by robots or artificial intelligence.This fact suggests that if your child develops any interest in linguistics, a nudge toward becoming an interpreter or linguistic analyst rather than a translator may be advisable- a suggestion supported by the fact that interpreters currently make more than translators. Also, they are harder to find (because interpreting is more difficult than translating- and not just because its very challenging real-time performance synchronized with the speakers speech). The same goes for some other future analytical and interpreter skills and jobs.PSEUDO-CREATIVITY (NO) The already familiar mantra extolling how robots, AI and other automation will free us for more creative work can be over-stated and misstated. A lot of what is praised as creative really isnt. So, targeting skills and jobs that involve such pseudo-creativity may be a huge mistake, if they turn out to be readily within a robots steely grasp or an AI programs a mbit.Take brain-storming, often cited as a paradigm case of creative thinking Consider the task of connecting seemingly unrelated, even mutually exclusive concepts, in order to find some new ideas or inventions, say, telephone and camera. Oh, wait, thats been done. But you get the idea. The problem with the longevity of this kind of creativity is that it can be automated for and displayed by a high-speed computer. Simply have the program create all 2-term combinations of every word or concept in the database, e.g., a technical or standard dictionary. Thats the easy part, the pseudo-creative part.The genuinely creative part is also the hardest to derive an interpretation, application or justification for specific generated pairings. See how this relates to the previous point about interpreter skills? Another genuinely creative task is to generate a precious, few non-random pairings with a high probability of being exactly what is desired. So before grooming your child to be a big-pay day chess champion, ask yourself, Does chess require unique human creativity and/or distinctively human analytical skills?Better yet, go to www.sparkchess.com for the answer and get your butt kicked by advanced-level Boris (free) or the ultimate master Guru chess software (fee).If you are a concerned parent, worried about whether public or private education and, in particular, school curricula will prepare your child for what I have called the coming jobliteration, you could try raising the question at your next PTA meeting or at least while it is still chaired by humans.Alternatively, you may want to consider home schooling.Especially after the first home-schooling super-smart android tutors hit the market.

How to Avoid the Frustration of Phantom Job Postings

How to Avoid the Frustration of Phantom Job PostingsHow to Avoid the Frustration of Phantom Job PostingsPhantom job postings are for supposed job openings that are leid open at all. They are a cause of ongoing frustration for many job seekers, and there are various reasons why they exist. Genuinely Hidden Job In this scenario, there is a job opening, but it already has been filled through informal networking processes. However,the public job posting is a mere formality undertaken to comply with human resources department rules that mandate the advertising of open positions. In such a situation, people responding to the formal public job listing actually have no chance at all of ever landing the position. Not only are they wasting their time in applying, but they also do not know that they are. In some cases, however, applicants for such phantom jobs actually be putting themselves under consideration for future openings, if their credentials are impressive enough. This is most lik ely in situations where the job posting is being worked upon by a recruiting firm (also known as a job placement or headhunting firm) and the applicant has made contact with a member of that firms staff. Delayed Communication Flows Even if the job is indeed filled through an open and competitive process, sometimes a recruiter or job board may not be informed of this in a timely fashion, and thus the posting may persist after the job has ceased to be open. This is less likely and less excusable in the case of job postings maintained by the human resources department on a companys own website, but such errors are indeed possible and do occur from time to time. Likewise, a job opening may continue to be advertised erroneously even after it has been eliminated, such as due to a hastily imposed budget exercise. Postings Designed for Future Needs Some companies have frequent needs to fill job vacancies on a timely basis, as the result of a regular turnover. In some of these cases, these vacancies stretch across broad categories of jobs. As a result, these employers often advertise for such jobs before the openings emerge, to secure a pipeline of qualified candidates that can be tapped in a hurry once the need arises. In this case, a job applicant may find that the advertised job is not currently available, but instead may be so at some indeterminate time in the future. Competing Postings In some cases, the hiring company may have hiring needs in various areas, but only the budget to add a subset of these people. Once the aggregate hiring limit has been reached, the remaining job postings effectively become null and void. Applicants for the latter then will find that they have been seeking jobs that have vanished. Risks to the Company Becoming known as a company that regularly makes phantom job postings is likely to have a highly negative impact on outside reputation and internal morale. The most highly qualified external candidates, those with the wi dest employment options, are bound to shun a company with a reputation for dealing in bad faith with applicants, by advertising openings that do not really exist. Similarly, employees will become demoralized if they do not believe that they have a fair chance at advancing internallyand if promotions appear to be tainted by cronyism and internal politics.

Learn Response Strategies for Negative Risks

Learn Response Strategies for Negative RisksLearn Response Strategies for Negative RisksRisk management on a project centers on being able to identify what might go wrong. These are the negative risks, otherwise known as threats to your project. Its important to identify them and record them in your risk register so you know what might be coming round the corner to interfere with your chances of completing your project successfully. But identifying them is only the beginning. Once you have done that, you also need to work out what to do about them. You do have options. There are four strategies for responding to negative risks Avoid, Transfer, Mitigate and Accept. Lets look at those now. Avoid When you avoid a risk, you stop it happening totally. Worried that a particular feature on your software wont go down well in the international market? Switch it off. Thats an example of avoiding a risk completely you put a plan in place to make sure that it could never happen. You cant do this with all risks, but its a handy approach to shutting down trouble before it happens where you can. Transfer Transferring a risk means shifting the responsibility for it on to someone else. The best example of this is an insurance policy. When you buy an insurance policy, you shift some of the impact of the risk on to the insurance firm, and they would be liable if the risk did happen. You can also write transfer of risk clauses into your contracts with suppliers. Get legal advice, though, before you do thisso that you are sure that you are transferring the right risk and that youll be getting the outcome you want. Find out more about appropriate contracting. Mitigate Mitigation is probably the most common risk response strategy. It is where you come up with actions to make the risk less of a problem if it does happen. For example, if you have a project risk around the testing phase taking too long, you can add more testers to your resource pool. The risk still might hap pen, but at least youve done something to lessen the potential fallout. Accept Your final option for dealing with a negative risk is to simply accept it. Sometimes problems happen, and youve analyzed this one and decided that you arent going to do anything about it. Being able to adapt (if it does happen) is one of the top skills for project managers. Accepting that a risk might happen is bedrngnis the same as not making a decision or putting your head in the sand. You are actively, and with the support of your project sponsor and senior management, making the decision to do nothing. Its the riskiest, in many respects, but you can take that calculated risk based on what it would cost you in terms of time and effort to put a different kind of risk response strategy in place. It may be far too costly to implement any other kind of risk management strategy, given the impact that this risk would have. If the chance of a risk happening is tiny, or the impact it will have if it does h appen is very small, then doing nothing is a perfectly acceptable solution. These four options span a wide spectrum of risk response so you should be able to find an approach here that suits the level of risk that you are prepared to take as a project team. The most important thing is to put together your action plan and work through the steps you identify. Then if the risk does happen, you have your Plan B already sorted out, and you can navigate through the problem easily.

Applicant Tracking Systems Keywords Tuning Your Resume to the Right Keywords

Applicant Tracking Systems Keywords Tuning Your Resume to the Right KeywordsApplicant Tracking Systems Keywords Tuning Your Resume to the Right KeywordsHow can you find and deploy the right keywords to aim your resume at the job you want?Keywords Theyre buzzwords that identify an industry or a profession. Theyre also the currency of the job search.Keywords are the terms and phrases hiring managers supply to human-resources managers and recruiters to create job posts and find matching resumes for open positions. And in a modern job-search transaction, keywords can separate your resume from the rest of the pile or transfer it to the circular file. At most companies, applicant tracking system (ATS) software uses keywords to filter resumes before theyre ever reviewed by human staffers.The importance of keywords in a resume cant be overstated. They not only help connect resumes with current openings, they also enkoranvers that searches for future job openings will pull appropriate resumes out of the database and put them in front of hiring professionals.Ladders asked hiring professionals, ATS vendors and resume writers for tips on how to compile a list of winning keywords and employ them in a resume.Keyword basicsKathy Robinson, the founder of TurningPoint and a career and business consultant, recommends her clients figure out what kind of job their resumes will win. She then uses job boards to research keywords used for similar job postings. Heres the process broken downa. Make a master list of keywords that appear in similar jobs.b. Search as if looking for that job. Even if the candidate wants to stay local, she doesnt limit this mock search geographically, since this exercise is intended to generate keywords, not locate specific jobs.c. Go to Web sites that represent companies and associations related to the candidates target industry in search of other buzzwords.d. Cull keywords from specific job descriptions for which the candidate is applying.e. Search Linked In profiles of users who have similar jobs to see what keywords theyre using.f. Go to association Web sites if theres a find a member directory see what keywords other industry professionals have used.Boolean and location-based keywordsNathan Shackles is the owner of Racarie Software, which develops a Web-based recruiting/applicant tracking product called ApplicantStack. According to Shackles, the most common feature his clients inquire about is keyword search especially Boolean logic, which enables users to combine keywords in their searches.Employers often use Boolean searches to seek local professionals. For example, if a company wants to hire a project manager in the Dallas area, it may conduct a search that looks like this project manager AND Dallas.The search will only return resumes that contain both terms project manager and Dallas and would reject any project managers who left out the Dallas. For this reason, Shackles recommends users include their town or region. If youre leery of putting down an address, leave out the street number and name, but put down the city, state and ZIP code to avoid getting overlooked, he said. A phone number with an area code is also helpful.Spell out the obviousMany job seekers make a keyword mistake of omission They assume the people who read their resumes will know what their job responsibilities comprise. It seems obvious, for example, that a litigation attorney has written briefs and legal memos, has done depositions and has handled discoveries, said Rahul D. Yodh, principal at Link Legal Search Group.Anybody whos practiced law would know that, Yodh said. But the hiring professionals on the front line who first see resumes tend to be generalists who may have little to no knowledge of a given job or duties, he said.And like human-resource generalists, ATSes dont implicitly know by scanning a resume that a lawyer has had experience with briefs, depositions or discoveries. Every term needs to be spelled out.Every indust ry and function carries its own set of duties make sure you unfold your job responsibilities to pull out those words that seem too obvious to mention.Contextualize keywordsMany resume writers use sections titled Professional Summary or Skills at the top of a resume as a kind of corral for keywords. While its fine to use keywords in such a section, its important to use them throughout the resume as well, in the context of job responsibilities.To understand why, consider your own Google searches. Google returns Web pages that contain the correct search terms, but many of the results are irrelevant to what youre searching for the search terms are scattered throughout a given page and in the wrong context. The best search results show the search terms grouped together in the proper context.Similarly, Yodh said, if a hiring professional or ATS identifies a search term in a summary but not in a job description, the resume may well be eliminated. Thats why it behooves job seekers to use a given search term both in the summary section and in the job-responsibility description.Heres an example If a graphic-design professional used Adobe Photoshop in her previous job, she would put that term in her summary. It would be a mistake for her to then say she used publishing software in the experience description instead, she should once again use the term Adobe Photoshop in context.Other keyword tipsInclude acronyms, but also spell them out. Thats especially helpful since the person tasked with going through resumes might not know all the relevant acronyms, said Christine Bolzan, CEO of Graduate Career Coaching.Include relevant professional groups or associations.Embed keywords in cover letters in case theyre also being scanned.Use keywords in social-media profiles as well as resumes. For example, LinkedIn provides a summary section for keywords and specialties. Bolzan noted that anywhere from 50 percent to 80 percent of employers are searching for keywords on LinkedIn, faceb ook inc and other social-networking sites.Search engines add more weight to keywords in bold, italics, and in Title and Header tags, so you can use that formatting to rank higher on the search-engine results pages for those searches, points out David B. Wright, author of Get A Job Your Guide to Making Successful Career Moves.
