Generation Z has continued to take the non-conformity above the bar by turning to artificial intelligence to aid them in getting a raise.
Gatekeepers News reports that as no-nonsense generation has revealed how they turn to ChatGPT to work tips.
“I used ChatGPT to help me make my resume, cover letter,” began content creator known online as @SonrisaScents in a trending TikTok tell-all. “I’m now working from home, got a huge pay increase, flexible hours and [amazing] benefits.”
A separate Gen Z shared a post detailing how she prompted the AI system to give her tips on scoring an income bump up to $60,000.
She said, “I couldn’t help myself, I used AI again to help me with a salary negotiation.
“I’m impressed.”
And tech-savvy staffers under age 26, which is the fastest-growing employee demographic, are employing the bot to boost their income in more ways than one.
A February 2024 report commissioned by Handshake, a job-search platform for college students in the US, found that 50% of 2024 graduating senior class plan to build new skills in light of the emergence of generative AI such as ChatGPT and DALL-E.
The study also determined that one-third of the soon-to-be grads plan to use generative AI in their career.
“I am afraid of what Al can become, but if used correctly I think it can be a good thing,” a class of 2024 business major told researchers.
Zoomers are, too, leaning on bots for job advancement advice as bosses have become too busy to care.
Findings indicated that 62% of the younger workers would like to talk to their managers more often about their career, but feel their bosses are preoccupied with other tasks.
Research shows that college graduates of the class of 2024 are learning generative Ai in effort to pursue higher-paying jobs upon entering the workforce.
“Gen Z’s reliance on digital platforms for career advice, including innovative tools like ChatGPT, points to a larger issue — a craving for guidance that they’re not finding within the traditional structures of their workplaces,” INTOO’s Mira Greenland told FOX Business. “They want conversations about their careers to be as dynamic and responsive as the technology they’ve grown up with.”
