Prepare for a job interview? But I just wing it!

I wasn't too keen to hear this from a candidate recently, especially when there is so much information available for interviewees. Take for example our interview tip guide found http://people2people.com.au/interview/preparing-for-the-interview/.

There are ample interview examples to ensure you are as prepared as possible to handle those curly questions. I'd recommend just having a few work examples which highlight a lot of your different strengths. That way, you can keep bringing the interviewer back to the same examples. This cam make the interview a lot less complicated and easier for both of you.

Don't be worried if these strengths don't sound too unique, the fact you're aware they are important for you to do your job well, is what matters. Being able to get through the interviewer’s questions with solid examples of your proven strengths, means there is more time for you to start asking some of the questions you want answered and thereby, have a better feel of the role and the team. So ‘winging it’ doesn't need to happen anymore, instead get thinking and preparing and you might even start enjoying those annoying interviews!

Introducing AI in the workplace

By Renagi Ingram • 09 Jul, 2023
2023 has seen an significant rise of workplaces introducing A.I. into their workplace with tools such as Chat GPT becoming more utilized in day to day tasks. In recent years, AI has made significant advancements and is now being effectively applied across diverse industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and logistics. While there has been some resistance from employees who may fear for their jobs relevancy , organizations are increasingly embracing artificial intelligence tools and analytics. What are the benefits of A.I. in the workplace? Increased Efficiency and Productivity AI can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex and strategic activities. By streamlining processes and reducing manual labor, AI technologies can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Enhanced Customer Experience AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can deliver personalized and round-the-clock customer support. These AI systems can provide instant responses, address customer queries, and even handle transactions autonomously. By improving response times and offering tailored experiences, AI can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. Cost Reduction AI technologies can help reduce operational costs in various ways. By automating manual tasks, businesses can decrease labor expenses. AI can also optimize resource allocation, supply chain management, and inventory control, minimizing waste and optimizing efficiency. Additionally, AI can identify areas of potential cost savings through data analysis and process optimization. However in a recent people2people social media poll, it was revealed that 52.6% of workers in Australia find that since introducing A.I. into the workplace, their job has become worse/more difficult. Despite the rise of popularity, this indicates that there is still some hesitancy amongst the majority of people. What are the disadvantages of A.I. in the workplace? Job displacement AI automation can make certain job roles redundant, leading to unemployment and necessitating new skill acquisition. Ethical biases AI systems can perpetuate biases if trained on biased data, resulting in unfair treatment or discriminatory outcomes. Lack of human judgment AI lacks the nuanced decision-making abilities of humans, potentially leading to flawed decisions and a lack of ethical considerations.
