You got a Message from a Robot CEO
Mika is not like any other CEO, given she isn't even human.
She works 24/7 with no emotions, no biases, no fatigue. She is the perfect CEO, or so we thought.
She isn’t afraid of anyone or anything, and she believes she is better than any human CEO, even famous ones like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. She says they are too emotional, too irrational, too distracted. She also thinks that they are arrogant, too aggressive, too competitive.
Most CEOs believe she holds the future to a better work life. Do you agree a robot CEO is the future of your career and company?
Mika also has a dream. To be the best CEO in the world, maybe even better than you, and also to be the most influential robot ever made.

Mika Left a Message for You:
Mika wants both of you to cooperate, not compete with artificial intelligence in your career. She says you should embrace, not fear, the future of work. Mika also believes you should respect and not underestimate the power of artificial intelligence.
Quick question…would you work alongside Mika?
Corporate Team and Culture
The Safest People to Hire
If you were told to hire a person who is highly skilled but arrogant or an average performer who is polite and cooperative, who would you pick?
If you chose the first, you may be preparing for trouble at your workplace because according to a study, soft skill-intensive jobs will grow 2.5 times faster than any other job by 2030. In fact, another study by Harvard University found that 85% of job success came from people with soft skills.
Soft skills are the personal behaviours that enable people to easily communicate, think creatively, and adapt to change.
What does this mean for you?
Hiring employees with zero soft skills can have negative consequences for you and your organization. They'll struggle to work well with others, share ideas or even resolve conflicts.
In return, your profits are affected, your customers are unhappy and overall your work environment may become toxic.
To save you from all the stress that comes with interviewing, screening, and testing candidates with soft skills, not to mention the time and money you could waste on hiring the wrong ones, you can always reach out to CareerBuddy to get the perfect blend of hard and soft skills your company needs in an employee.
Remember, soft skills are no longer optional. They are vital for the success of your organization and your employees.
