Someone who knows how to use AI will get hired over those who don't.

So, how do you stay ahead?

You learn AI, use it, and make yourself indispensable. Let’s break it down.

🔥 1. Learn the Most In-Demand AI Skills

"But Steph, I’m not a tech person!"

Good news—you don’t need to be! You just need to understand how AI works and how to use it. Start here:

Prompt Engineering & AI Content Creation – Learn how to get better responses from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
Basic AI & Data Analysis (Python, SQL) – No need to become a data scientist, but a little data literacy goes a long way.
AI Models 101 – Curious about how AI actually works? Check out the free AI for Everyone course on Coursera.

⚡ 2. Start Using AI—Even in Small Ways

"Okay, but where do I even start?"

Pick one AI tool and apply it to something you’re already doing. No need to overhaul your workflow overnight—just take one step.

Here are some easy ideas to choose from:

Build AI-powered lesson plans with ChatGPT or Gemini.
Automate grading, tutoring, or curriculum design—anything repetitive, let AI handle it.
Play around with AI-driven student learning paths or assessment tools.
Document your results—this is what makes your work valuable to future employers.

📝 3. Update Your Resume & LinkedIn (So Recruiters Actually Find You)

"But I’ve used AI a little, and I still don’t know how to talk about it..."

Here’s how:

✅ List the AI tools you’ve used (GPT-4, Bard, Gemini, Midjourney, etc.).
✅ Highlight how you’ve applied AI (lesson design, automation, adaptive learning).
✅ Use keywords from job descriptions (EdTech analytics, NLP, AI Ethics).
✅ Create a simple portfolio and add it to your featured section—even a short case study on an AI-enhanced project makes a difference.
