Modern Admin Weekly | Issue No.006

Hi — Liz here. 👋🏾

The two-letter word we’re hearing more than ever? AI.
And it’s not without its controversies.

Spend a few minutes on any social media platform, and you’ll see it — someone praising how it’s changed their life, right next to someone refusing to touch it at all.

But what happens when your personal stance doesn’t quite align with where the job market is heading?

More than half the roles in today’s edit explicitly call out a desire for candidates who are comfortable leveraging AI in their work.

It aligns with the idea of “working smarter, not harder”, but it also raises real questions around pace, expectations, and how work itself is evolving.

Something to keep in mind as you explore.
