Jack Molisani returns to discuss how technical communication careers are evolving with generative AI. He shares practical advice for navigating the changing landscape with pro tips in this era of resume robots and chatbot interviews, while emphasizing that human expertise remains irreplaceable.

• A resume should be a personal communication from you to the reader, not an AI-generated document
• Stop applying through applicant tracking systems designed to weed you out; connect directly with hiring managers
• Hiring managers look for what you are, your seniority level, domain knowledge, tool proficiency, and affordability
• Companies value technical communicators who can appropriately integrate AI into workflows, not just prompt engineers
• Position yourself as part of revenue generation, not just as someone who "writes manuals"

In Jack's words, "like surfing, timing is everything—don't adopt AI too early or too late, but ride the wave at its crest." Listen in for this timely advice.
