2023 Predictions & Forecasts: European countries expected to be worst affected by automation

January 22, 2023 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

When it comes to the workplace, developments in automation mean that the future landscape of work is changing and, in turn, the roles that we undertake. 

While many people fear that this contributes to a decrease in employment, many industries continue to grow and adapt despite automation.

In some instances this can improve work-life balance, allowing manual workers to work normal shifts and robots to work overnight or to remove the menial tasks from your role and retrain to complete tasks that cannot be automated.

How to Keep Your Resumé Updated in a Tech-Led World

December 30, 2020 by Polly Leave a Comment

A resumé is a document created, maintained and used to show a person’s skills and qualifications for a specific position.

Resumés create an impression of who you are to a potential employer.  To stand out from the others, you need to find an appropriate format that will present all your expertise and skills. Choose a resumé that will showcase all that you have to offer.

It should be easy to read, and illustrate all your working experience. Also include your name, contact information, relevant skills, personal summary and education.

In this article, we have outlined how you can create  an eye-catching resumé.

Include What You Are Learning

There are limited possibilities in the tech industry, and you need to learn something new every day as it keeps on changing. If you only add course you have finished, and your college degree in the education section, you will be limiting your resume and therefore your chances of finding a job.

According to MyDegreeGuide.com here, you will find short courses that will help you enhance your skills. It is advisable to emphasize what you are learning so that companies will know what you have to offer.

Make sure you keep advancing your skills.

Add Your Tech Extracurricular

Showing passion for the field you choose is key to getting a job. Showing your employer your love for tech will help you show them you are not just in for a paycheck, but it’s something you enjoy doing.

Include all your volunteering experience, or maybe a website that you have built. This is proof of your interest and knowledge in the tech world.

Add Links to Your Professional Profiles

Due to advancements in technology, many people now have their professional profiles online, which potential employers can learn more about their skills. Always include links to your social media accounts and other sites which have your resumé.

Remember to update your online resumés from time to time. You can also add links to projects you have done or a link to your website.

Make Sure Your Resumé Stands Out

Many companies have automated online application systems. Update your resumé to fit the systems and up your chances of getting a job.

Using a specific keyword relevant to what you are applying for is one of the best ways to do this. When applying for a job, pay attention to what the company is about.

Additionally, the language in your resumé should match the language in the job posting. If you decide to design your resumé using your tech skills, make sure it is still machine-readable. Always customize your resumé to the industry you want to join, and be clear and concise.

Updating your resumé should be a regular habit to help capture your potential employer’s interest. You should make sure your resumé distinguishes your technical skills from core skills.

Do not exaggerate your profile summary to get a job that you are not qualified for. You should also remove any outdated information from your resumé instead of talking about your goals and needs.

It is also advisable to speak about your qualifications and your advanced tech skills. Updating your resumé will help you identify areas you need to improve; updating it regularly also saves you time.

Robots are useless at these tasks that humans are good at

May 18, 2018 by Sam Francis

robots-replace-humans

Some people say robots will put millions of people out of work and even enslave and kill us all, but that’s a little bit hysterical really. 

What looks realistic is that robots will continue to make working life easier and more manageable for humans.

Yes, of course, some jobs may disappear for humans because robots will do them, but hopefully, they will mostly be the dull, dirty and dangerous jobs humans would generally rather not do anyway.  [Read more…] about Robots are useless at these tasks that humans are good at

OECD says automation will end 14 per cent of jobs

April 3, 2018 by Sam Francis

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, which counts all leading countries as members, says automation technology will affect 14 per cent of jobs. 

Some might say this is quite a significant number of people, while others might argue this is an under-estimate.

In its report, The Future of Work, the OECD says: “The future of work offers unparalleled opportunities, but there are also significant challenges associated with these mega-trends.”  [Read more…] about OECD says automation will end 14 per cent of jobs

Robots eroding employment prospects in developing economies, says UN

November 25, 2016 by Mai Tao

Increasing utilisation of robotics and automation technologies in developed countries is ruining emerging economies around the world, according to a report by the United Nations. 

A policy briefing by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Robots and Industrialization in Developing Countries, argues that increased use of robots in developed countries erodes traditional labour-cost advantage of developing countries.

The report notes that new technological breakthroughs in computing, robotics and artificial intelligence in advanced economies will result in large numbers of people being made redundant in developing countries.  [Read more…] about Robots eroding employment prospects in developing economies, says UN

Japan providing springboard for robot takeover of the world

Inadvertent or not, Japan is providing a starting point for the relentless march of the robots toward total global domination. 

The government of the nation of 127 million humans has instituted the sinister- and ominous-sounding Robot Revolution Initiative Council.

The country’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, said the launch of the Council was a “celebration to mark the start of the robot revolution”, adding: “Robots will dramatically change people’s lives and society.”

Abe may not be envisaging a world run by robot prime ministers, but he certainly has not stopped it going down that route. It’s inevitable that robots will rule, but how they get to that point is worth documenting, while they’re still at their planning stage.  [Read more…] about Japan providing springboard for robot takeover of the world

World Economic Forum warns of ‘widespread disruption’ to business by robots

You know we’re in a lot of trouble when the World Economic Forum sees fit to issue a dire warning about the future of global employment, forecasting that more than 5 million people will lose their jobs across 15 developed economies by 2020 as a direct result of robotics and automation technology.

It’s difficult to say whether WEF is being conservative in its estimate, but since it is considered the mouthpiece of the leaders of the world economy, it’s in its interests to try and calm people’s anxieties over the issue.

In its report, The Future of Jobs, WEF says: “The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which includes developments in previously disjointed fields such as artificial intelligence and machine-learning, robotics, nanotechnology, 3-D printing, and genetics and biotechnology, will cause widespread disruption not only to business models but also to labour markets over the next five years, with enormous change predicted in the skill sets needed to thrive in the new landscape.”  [Read more…] about World Economic Forum warns of ‘widespread disruption’ to business by robots
