🔍 Step 1: Spot the Gap (Where Are New Jobs Hiding?)
Look for:
- Emerging tech shifts (e.g., AI regulation → “AI Compliance Officer”)
- Pain points in growing industries (e.g., remote work → “Virtual Team Culture Designer”)
- Hybrid skill demands (e.g., healthcare + tech → “Telemedicine Patient Advocate”)
Pro Tip: Scan LinkedIn job posts for phrases like “new role” or “pioneering position” in your field.
🛠️ Step 2: Build Your “Job Creation” Skills
| Skill | How to Learn It | Example New Job |
|---|---|---|
| AI Prompt Engineering | Free courses (DeepLearning.AI, ChatGPT docs) | AI Content Strategist |
| Data Storytelling | Tableau Public, YouTube tutorials | Sustainability Data Narrator |
| Niche Community Building | Discord, Circle.so | Web3 Community Manager |
Key: Combine 1 hard skill + 1 soft skill (e.g., coding + empathy = AI Therapist).
🎯 Step 3: Test Your Role (Before Quitting Your Job)
- Freelance it first: Offer the service on Upwork/Fiverr.
- Pitch internally: Propose the role to your current employer with a 30-day trial.
- Case Study: A teacher added “EdTech Curriculum Designer” to her LinkedIn and landed consulting gigs.
📢 Step 4: Package & Sell Your New Role
- Title: Avoid vague terms—be specific (e.g., not “Consultant” but “Micro-SaaS Onboarding Specialist”).
- Proof: Build a portfolio (e.g., Notion doc with client testimonials).
- Pricing: Start with project-based fees, then retainer models.
