OpenAI Expanding Its Footprint: Takes on LinkedIn, Positions Itself as Good Guy in the Economy

Like the big players in tech, OpenAI will be creating a kind of walled garden. Come visit - and hang around. No need to go elsewhere for what counts.

By mid 2026, businesses and individuals can go to it for hiring associated with AI skills as well as becoming certified at all levels of AI fluency.  

If it sounds like OpenAI is taking on Microsoft's LinkedIn, you got that right. To be doing a job search on OpenAI could be the new cool in tech. And, if it looks like OpenAI is taking the sting out of how AI could eliminate jobs, you got that right too. So many new opportunities are being created in this economy, right.

In a blog post, Fidji Simo - CEO of Applications at Open Air - announces the OpenAI Jobs Platform and OpenAI Certifications. A launch partner for the latter is Walmart. The headline for the posting is: 

Expanding economic opportunity with AI


The tone of the posting is conversational, me and you. It's starts out with a I-know-how-you-feel: 

"Whenever I talk with people about AI, one of the first questions I get is: 'What’s it going to mean for my job?' or 'How will it impact my company?'"

This is brilliant public relations. Lobbyists advocating against AI could encounter fresh obstacles in moving the needle on constraints. 

In coaching I hammer that having advanced AI skills as part of credentials is expected. No longer a point of differentiation. 

Thrown off your game, maybe the first time since you started working? You made all the right moves and then the world moved in another direction.

Global Gasp: Donald Trump Tells Off Big Banking

In a virtual back-and-forth Donald Trump does a stunner. At the World Economic Forum in Davos Bank of America head Brian Moynihan conducts a casual Q&A with the new President who's being looped in on large screen. During that, Trump tells Moynihan, along with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, to stop blocking conservatives. That is, there's an accusation that Big Banking hasn't been accepting accounts from conservatives. One could feel a global gasp. Here is more from Bloomberg. Obviously Trump is setting a brash tone for the new administration. It's very un-corporate. Business leaders, used to indirectness in communications, will have to come up with a new way of conversing with the president in public.  Low on hope about finding, holding, or moving on to better work?  Getting that back is the first step. Then you and I, as your career coach, move on to diagnosing what's in the way, trying out the solutions and creating the communications you need. Free consultat...

Apparent Second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump: Will This Negatively Impact Harris-Walz Campaign?

" Donald Trump  was the target of a second apparent assassination attempt Sunday when Secret Service agents opened fire on a gunman at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Fla., where the former president was golfing just a few holes away." -  The Wall Street Journal , September 15, 2024 The former president is safe.  The alleged potential shooter - Ryan Wesley Routh - initially fled but was arrested soon afterward. He faces criminal charges. At this time it is unknown if he took any shots. Of course, this development has unleashed condemnation of what seems to be political violence. Also, there will be scrutiny how Routh came to possess a military-type weapon. Since he had video recording equipment there could be an outcry about how easy it is for violence to catapult a miscreant into stardom.  But there is also the very immediate issue of how this could could affect the Harris-Walz positioning in what is turning out to be a volatile and tough campaign. It is not insen...

How Not to Get Pigeonholed Early in Legal Career - Paul Weiss Lawyers Explain the Reach of Restructuring Experience

Image
 On professional anonymous networks Reddit and Fishbowl junior lawyers frequently lament how boxed in they are in their practices. Yet, those who understand the complexities of a successful career in law understand how difficult it is to pivot to another department within the firm or lateral to another. A surprise navigation route might be to start a career or take a run during a career at restructuring. In an opinion piece in Bloomberg Law Paul Weiss co-chair of restructuring Brian Hermann and associate Shafaq Hasan explain the mobility embedded in that practice: "Practicing restructuring law opens the door to significant growth opportunities. With both transactional and litigation aspects, restructuring offers a range of experiences and skill sets." Operating in that function provides experience in M&A, tax, litigation and executive compensation. Here is how Paul Weiss positions and packages that transactional practice. Of course, in a volatile global economy the deman...
