How AI is Changing the Job Market
We sit down with Jessica Roman, Associate Director of Career Development at the Stony Brook University Career Center, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the modern job market and what that means for students, researchers, and emerging professionals. Roman works closely with graduate students on career readiness, internships, job strategy, and professional development, helping them navigate an increasingly complex employment landscape. In this episode, we discuss how AI is reshaping hiring practices, application processes, and workforce expectations, while also examining the technical and transferable skills that make candidates stand out. In the second half, we explore career paths in STEM, engineering, academia, and industry, offering practical insight into how students can strategically position themselves for long-term success in a rapidly evolving professional world.
