Perception is not always reality, so while we believe current challenges for resume writers and career coaches are not solely caused by AI, it’s an important component to look at.
In our second annual Critical Industry Analysis Survey, we asked all the same questions for 2024 as the prior year to provide us with a benchmark. Those included:
- What are you using AI tools for?
- What do you want to use AI tools for?
- What do you want or need help with around AI?
- On a scale of zero to 10, how much do you really believe AI is impacting your business?
We also asked questions around pricing and revenue, and whether they had increased, decreased, or stayed the same in 2024. You can learn those results in our last show episode, State of the Industry: 2023-2024 Revenue Trends for Self-Employed Resume Writers & Career Coaches. (Plus, there’s a lot more we’ll be disseminating in shows to come around what’s working and what’s not in marketing).
In this show, I share the data and I also share a story of challenging the mundane and the mediocre, avoiding absolutist negative thinking, and of hope and motivation for what can come with the right action steps.
If you’re worried about AI and the state of your career, watch the replay now and join me for the upcoming episodes and in CDI association membership to circumnavigate your challenges and boldly move forward.
In this episode I discuss, and show, the metrics around:
- Use of AI tools by career services businesses in 2024.
- AI use goals by career services businesses in 2024.
- Areas career services businesses want help with around AI in 2024.
- Perceived negative impact of AI on career services businesses in 2024 with comparison to 2023.
- Revenue changes (up, down, stayed the same) in 2024 with comparison to 2023.
There is hope and we are encountering it together!
