Resume Now in the Media

“News reports about AI are everywhere, and it’s hard to overstate this technology’s impact on the workforce. With many corporations making bold pronouncements and setting lofty goals regarding the use of AI, no technology — not even the smartphone — has created so many waves and sparked as many conversations about its potential advantages and pitfalls.

To examine the disruption AI is causing, Resume Now set out to determine whether the workforce is ready and equipped to deliver on these promises with its State of AI in the Workplace Report. The report found that workers have serious concerns about how the tool will impact their jobs, their personal lives and even their mental health.”

“Have you ever regretted not speaking up during a meeting? Maybe you rue the day you didn’t ask for that pay raise, or feel remorse about staying in a frustrating job for too long. You may even wish you could turn back the clock and start over because your dream career hasn’t been such a dream after all.

If you relate to any of those statements, you are in good company. It turns out that career regrets are very common among workers and that more than a few are haunted by the ‘what-ifs,’ ‘if-onlys,’ and ‘could-have-beens’ of our professional journeys.

On January 10, 2024, Resume Now’s International Career Regrets survey polled 1,000 workers in the U.S., UK, France and Germany to investigate the scale and nature of work-related regrets.”

“In a dream world, we could vaccinate against toxic colleagues, take a wonder pill to achieve work-life balance, and get a very brave employee sticker every day.

But–

In reality, there’s no sure cure for separating work from other areas of life. And it turns out that your job can make you sick. Literally.

Deadline by deadline, endless meetings, a heavy workload. Not enough sleep, not eating during the day, no time for fun. Sounds familiar? You’re not alone. According to the Gallup Report: State of the Global Workplace 2022, stress among the world’s workers is at an all-time high.

Is poor health the price we pay for work? Let’s find out.”

“Financial well-being is a critical component of holistic well-being. And although money is not everything, as life consists of countless factors that you can’t buy, bills won’t pay themselves.
