🤖 What does being "good at AI" actually mean? Hint: it's probably not about how many prompts you wrote this week. We'll lay out what you should actually be looking for. Other big moves in the new edition of Market Moves from #RobertHalf: ✍️ LinkedIn users are editing their old jobs to slot in 2026-friendly skills (hi, AI) and cut items employers are no longer loving. Is that basic self-marketing or rewriting the past? 📊 Employee happiness is rebounding... for some. 💰 The most expensive part of a bad hire isn't what most managers think it is. Grab that second coffee and let's get down to business: ☕️

Anna Mackenzie's path to a 6-figure portfolio career is what she's described as "ultra-squiggly". Today, it spans consulting, mentoring, digital products, writing and education. On the surface, it's the epitome of successful self employment, but the journey to reach this point was nothing clean. In the inaugural episode of the Good Job! interview series, produced in partnership with Robert Half, we dive into what it actually takes to turn your existing experience and career skills into into multiple income streams and new professional opportunities. If you want more ownership, autonomy, earning potential, learning, flexibility and growth out of your career, Anna breaks down how to restructure from one salary to multiple-income streams. We cover: • The romanticized myths of portfolio careers • How Anna rebuilt after her business revenue dropped to $0 • What she’s learned about turning your experience into offers, landing clients, and scaling your services Watch the full episode on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/gfQX4p9H I am so beyond thrilled to launch this series. It's been a labor of love, and if you're interested in more conversations like these, be sure to follow @roberthalf and @hannagetshired, and stick around for the next episode!

Is it ok for a hiring manager to contact a job seeker's coworkers for the scoop on the candidate... WITHOUT giving the candidate a heads up? 😬 In this edition of Market Moves from #RobertHalf, we're finding the line between due diligence and gossip. Also on the docket: 💻 Remote job listings are way down this year. Is in-office back for good? 📍 The top 10 cities where hiring is happening 🤷 Why 6 in 10 employers are struggling to find qualified employees (and what to do about it) Let's go:

I’ve been sitting on this one for months. For a while now, I’ve had this idea: interview people whose careers didn't move in a straight line, and actually get into the how. I want to get to the root of their decision-making: why they jumped at certain opportunities and passed on others, the risks they tolerated to carve their paths, what it all cost them, the career advice they'd give you if you were lucky enough to land them as a mentor. How they got where they did, and everything they learned along the way. When the team at Robert Half approached me to co-produce an interview series exploring non-linear careers, it felt serendipitous. And I am over the moon to announce: the series launches next week! We’ve got conversations lined up for you with: - A career coach who reaches over a million people a day, on what it actually takes to find fulfillment at work, and what's working in a brutally competitive job market - The woman who was championing portfolio careers before it was a buzzword, on navigating the highs and lows of self-employment and building multiple income streams that actually work together - A beauty founder who locked onto one dream early and built toward it without distraction, on what that kind of conviction actually looks like in practice, not just in the outcome - A food creator who built an entire business out of the hobby she loved, and how she stayed true to her values the entire way - A venture capitalist and investor who took a 50% pay work on creating a change she believed in, and whether it paid off …and a few more I can’t wait to share. They all come from completely different corners of ‘careers’, but talk to enough people who’ve built something they believe in and the pattern is impossible to miss: there’s no single blueprint for a meaningful career Whether you’re actively job hunting, plotting your next move, or looking for that spark of career inspiration, this series definitely has something for you. I cannot WAIT to share this with you. First episode drops next week on Robert Half's Youtube and my Substack (subscribers, keep an eye on your inbox). See you then!
