  • Future-Proofing Your Career and Income in the Age of AI with Dr. Joan Palmiter Bajorek
    Mar 5 2025

    Key Takeaways:

    • Optimize for AI Search – Treat your online presence like SEO for AI. Ensure your LinkedIn and personal website include the right keywords so AI-driven tools and recruiters can easily find you.
    • Networking Drives Career Growth – 70% of jobs come from introductions. Being proactive, following up, and offering value in professional relationships is key to unlocking new opportunities.
    • Financial Preparedness is a Career Advantage – Many high earners still live paycheck to paycheck. Building an emergency fund of 6–12 months helps navigate layoffs and career shifts with confidence.
    • AI Can Enhance, but Authenticity Wins – AI-generated headshots and tools can refine your brand, but people connect with realness. Finding a balance between AI optimization and human authenticity is essential.
