pepelwerk: People – Vol 2 Q1 2024
Attributes and work attitude separate you from the bots.
We are entering the era of AI and some people are uncertain about what how it will impact people, society, work, religion, education…and well, everything.
Our job at pepelwerk is to help people understand and prepare for this impact when it comes to how we work, earn, learn and connect. One of the ways that we do this is by helping you define and understand your attributes and work attitude. Now more than ever, companies hiring are looking for people who have the capabilities to do the work and an attitude that compliments the organization’s cultures.
Listen to how some of our members describe their attributes and estimate how much they are worth.
Attributes: a quality, character, or characteristic ascribed to someone or something.
Work Attitude: a feeling or emotion towards a fact or state.
You can brainstorm about the words that you can use to describe your Attributes and Work Attitude. Or, you can make it simple on yourself and complete an assessment in your People Hub.
Your data is worth millions.
Have you ever received a notice from a company that says, “We are sorry to inform that your data has been compromised”. If not, you will.
Why?
Because data about you is valuable because it provides information for research, for statistics and for money.
The number one reseller of personal data are HR systems. Specifically, applicant tracking systems. When you click “Apply” you start a voluntary process of selling the data that you provide. You might not get the job, but they get to make money on your data.
If your not paying, then you are the product. Read more about the value of your data from PC Magazine.
If you would prefer to commoditize and control your own data, upgrade to pepelwerk annual membership.
If you are unhappy with work, then it may be time to explore something new.
The Department of Labor (the federal organization that governs the job market) says that throughout the next 10 years there will be 50 million jobs that didn’t exist before 2020. Listen to Sam and Charles explain more.
The good news about this is that you have 50 million more options for what jobs you can do. The challenging part about this is to determine how to choose the best one for you. A good way to get informed about new jobs, is to attend a pepelwerk Career Exploration event.
How much are your skills worth?
Do you know how your pay is decided? No matter where you get opportunities for work, there has to be some understanding about how your worth is determined. Old school companies will try to pay you based on a job title and the related responsibilities of that job title, some will pay you based on a search engine result, some will pay you based on what the government says is reasonable based on where you live and a job title.
But does that really work to reward you for skills that are in demand?
At pepelwerk we help our members understand the value of their attitude, attributes and abilities to help reach your income goals.
Knowing what skills are more valuable will help you make learning decisions and get in-demand jobs.
Learn the basics of who decides how much we earn from Our Economy.
Open your app and start tagging your goal jobs to get skilling recommendations so you can get closer to reaching your income goals.
pepelwerk career coaches vs. chat GPT.
The battle is on…and people win! We put Chat GPT to the test asking it a series of career advice suggestions. The results were very basic. We all know that AI driven query tools, like Chat GPT, scrape the internet to search for publicly available data to provide a response.
That kind of technology is limited as tool to provide Career Advice that is very personal and specific to persons needs and goals.
At pepelwerk, we know that companies hire people that are goal oriented 6 times more frequently then those that are not.
Watch one of our members explain their journey to success by setting goals.
Then, schedule time with a Career Coach and start using your Goal Center to track your progress.
How to choose education for people who are smart with their money.
The top trending news for the last few years has been around the need for the government to bail out people from student debt. Our position is, let’s make smart investments in education instead.
The education industry is no longer exclusive or unique across any educator. Most people don’t know that trade schools, colleges and Universities are all buying and selling the same curriculum. What makes them unique is the location and who teaches those courses.
Learn more about how the education industry works from Inside Education.
All of that doesn’t matter if you don’t choose education that aligns with realistic career opportunities.
Make sure that you make the most out of your learning center in your app. We work hard to get you exclusive discounts on the cost of certificate, licenses and degree based programs from hundreds of proven experts.
Most importantly, we connect those choices to getting your goal job so you can reach your income goals.
