Technological advancement is a force that will significantly reshape most jobs, not once, but multiple times over the course of a single career. ​

Izabella Khazagerova, SVP, Global Head of Product and Innovation, Career Transition and Mobility, LHH, emphasises that the ability to adapt, learn continuously, and reinvent oneself is becoming more important than any single technical #skill.​

There is a widespread gap in preparedness, meaning that many people still believe future-proofing their careers is primarily the responsibility of managers, employers, or governments.

This mindset needs to change. Individuals must increasingly take ownership of their own employability in a fast-moving labour market. Drawing on large-scale research, Izabella highlights how people who lose their jobs often try to return to the same roles, even when those roles are disappearing due to automation.​

This instinct, rooted in a desire for control, can ultimately delay successful transitions. Her message is a powerful reminder that resilience and adaptability will be defining features of sustainable careers in the age of #AI.​
