🚨 Two stories. One reality check. Let’s talk.

📰 HR Brew reports 20 million jobs are at risk of being displaced due to AI and automation.
📰 Fortune shares the story of a former six-figure software engineer—replaced by AI—who’s now applying to hundreds of jobs and living in an RV delivering DoorDash.

Yeah. It’s real out here.

But here’s the thing: you’re not powerless in this.

Here are a few realistic scenarios I help clients navigate every week through coaching, resume writing, and career strategy sessions:

✅ “I want to stay in my industry, but I need to figure out how to work with AI instead of being replaced by it.”
✅ “I’m curious about pivoting into AI—but where do I even start?”
✅ “Tech is burning me out. I want out completely. What’s next?”
✅ “I’ve been silently laid off and need help figuring out the job market…again.”

No shame in any of these paths. But don’t wait around for your employer or industry to catch you when the rug gets pulled.

Here are 🔟 actions you can take today:

1️⃣ Audit your current job. Could AI or automation eventually replace it?
2️⃣ Look at job boards and see what skills AI-enhanced roles are asking for.
3️⃣ Add 1 new AI-related skill to your resume or LinkedIn this month (even prompt writing counts!).
4️⃣ Explore non-tech industries that are hiring—education, skilled trades, healthcare, logistics.
5️⃣ Start a side hustle or freelance gig in something you’re actually curious about.
6️⃣ Identify your transferable skills—what you do well that applies anywhere.
7️⃣ Update your resume with future-proofed bullet points and AI-adjacent wins.
8️⃣ Join a local or virtual meetup about AI or future-of-work topics to expand your network.
9️⃣ Talk to a career coach (👋 hey, that’s me!) who can help you plan A, B, and even C.
🔟 Remember: a career isn’t a life sentence. You’re allowed to grow, pivot, evolve.

💬 If any of those scenarios above feel familiar, message me. I help people reposition, upskill, pivot, or completely reimagine their careers—all while staying human in a world becoming more robotic by the day.

Let’s grow your career like a garden—🧑‍🌾 not a factory line.

Laid off by a robot? Know anyone who went from six figures to DoorDash and understand that AI can do that to you at anytime? Let’s talk about your next move to prepare and stay ahead so you don’t get lost in the tech arms race 👉 www.calendly.com/mjwcareers
