So as you said a, a moment ago, AI can be a tool that can help you with repetitive routine tasks, and you also mentioned, uh, a moment ago, Marguerite, that, uh, it frees you up to do more creative work, and, uh, how is that gonna help you in your career if you use AI as a tool and focus on creative work? What do you, what do you see in the HR space?

Well, I think in the HR space, I th- it's, it, it will help you f- to free you up for, um, creativity because you'll be able to bring the human element, uh, the human factor to the team that you're working with.

And whether you're working on a project in HR, there's a lot of strategic and project, um, work, and I think where the differentiation comes in is that you're able to bring the relevance of your work, um, into that.
8:03
And, and, um, with that creativity, you're also, you're a- also able to, um, provide the evidence and with the, um, human factor, um, in that.
8:14
So I think being, you know, being creative and showcasing what you can do, what you said what you could do when you were interviewing and when you put o- what you put on your resume, um, is gonna be able to highlight that.
8:32
So, um, being creative also means problem-solving.
8:37
Um, and I think more and more employers are looking for that.
