The skill you’ll need to get hired in 2025 (No one’s teaching it)

Hey ,

Here’s a curveball no one tells you before you graduate:

You might not manage a team of people right away.

You’ll manage a team of AI agents instead. No joke.

Microsoft, Shopify, and a ton of fast-growing startups are already moving in this direction. Jobs are shifting. Fast.

If you know how to work with AI—not just use it, but actually manage it—you’re instantly way more valuable.

What Managing AI Actually Means

It’s not about just typing into ChatGPT and calling it a day.

It’s about leading the work AI does for you.

It looks like this:

• Giving AI clear tasks

• Reviewing what it spits back (critically, not lazily)

• Reworking it when it’s wrong

• Knowing when to trust it and when to take over

You’re not just “using a tool.”

You’re orchestrating an entire system.

And companies need people who can think like this.

How to Actually Start Building This Skill (Like Right Now)

You don’t need a bootcamp. You don’t need another online certification.

You need to start doing.

Here’s how:

1. Think like a manager.

When you use AI, stop asking: “Did it give me an answer?”

Start asking: “Is this good enough to ship? If not, how do I improve it?”

2. Map a simple system.

Pick something in your life (school, job hunting, side project) and figure out:

• What could AI do here?

• What still needs a human touch?

Sketch it out. Build the pipeline, even if it’s basic.

3. Practice adapting.

ChatGPT is cool. So is Claude. So is Gemini.

The tools will keep changing. The mindset you build won’t.

If You Take Nothing Else From This

Managing AI isn’t a “tech skill.”

It’s becoming a baseline career skill—like knowing how to write an email or run a meeting.

If you can lead AI well, you’ll stand out.

If you can’t, someone else will.

Your move.
