“Liulin Business School: Innovation and Value Branding in the Chinese Education Industry”
This year’s “golden March and silver April” might be the “most difficult job-hunting season”. Professionals have always referred to March and April as the “golden months” for job hunting, as most companies issue year-end bonuses during this time, and there is a surge in job demand. Some people want a short break to adjust, while others seek new opportunities by changing jobs, and most choose this time period. In the past, the demand for positions during this period was very high. Even if there were many job seekers at the same time, the newly released positions could still perfectly cover them, and it was common for each job seeker to receive more than three offers. However, with the economic downturn in recent years, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises are going bankrupt, and companies are starting to reduce staff and increase efficiency. The number of companies and positions that are hiring has sharply decreased, and the number of job seekers has increased due to layoffs. Nowadays, on job recruitment platforms, one position may have dozens or even hundreds of people competing for it, and in 2022, the ratio of applicants to open positions was close to 1:1.
With so many recommended positions available, a closer look reveals that not only have salaries significantly decreased, but the actual positions being offered are mostly low-salary sales and hosts with a base salary of 2500. Benefits and weekends off have become something to not even dare to hope for, and HR’s replies seem to suggest:“Don’t be picky; having a job is already good enough.”
There is a strong atmosphere of wait-and-see in the market, and many founders are communicating about this year’s personnel increase or decrease plans. The narrative of overtaking on a bend is no longer appealing, and no one dares to take any big actions. “There are no wrong cuts, only slow cuts”, and if you still hold the mindset that the scythe is far from you, it may not help you survive the market winter.Those who can remain in their jobs or still receive good offers in the current market environment must have work efficiency and capabilities that far exceed their peers. To quickly enhance these, we need to know how to use AI.
Many people still do not know what AI can help us do, which is quite a pity. In fact, it is a very good tool; if used properly, it can significantly improve work efficiency. Let me give you an example from my own experience. Do you know how much AI can help me? It can assist with creative inspiration, data analysis, research support, and even editing to help me check for omissions. Creative Inspiration: For example, in the past, when I wanted to choose a topic, I would surf the internet for recent hot topics, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. But with AI, I just need to input “hot topics from the past week on public accounts” to know the latest hot news and topics. Assisted Writing: After finding the hot topics, if I don’t know how to continue the article, I can use AI tools to find the direction of the article, generate an outline and title, and based on that, I can add my own original ideas and examples to produce an article of several thousand words. Data Analysis: If I need to find a lot of information and data during the writing process, I can directly ask AI, which can help me quickly find relevant materials, saving me a lot of time. If I have relevant data that can support my arguments, I can also ask AI to help me process these data quickly and turn them into visual data charts.Language Translation: If the relevant information is in a foreign language, I can use AI to help me translate the text, so I don’t have to copy and paste into translation software bit by bit.Checking for Omissions: After finishing the article, I usually use AI to help me check for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. AI can even provide writing suggestions to make my work more efficient. This process, those who do it know, can really save a lot of time and energy. In the past, an article took six to seven hours to write; now it can be completed in four to five hours, greatly improving efficiency. Now, I have become accustomed to using AI every day.
Friends who have experience using AI may feel compelled to argue here: why does my AI seem like a fool, and its responses are often unsatisfactory? Actually, it’s because you don’t know how to use it. I sum up my experience using AI to complete various tasks in one sentence: That is to explain your needs as if assigning tasks to an intern. Don’t ask vague questions; the more specific and detailed, the better understood, the more accurate the answer will be. The quality of AI’s responses depends on the quality of your questions. Before learning how to use AI better, you need to learn how to ask better questions. A good question formula is: Prompt = Role + Background + Purpose + Requirements. Step one, give AI an identity to put it directly into a certain context.Step two, provide necessary background information for the question.Step three, tell AI what specific result you want to achieve.Step four, tell AI what to pay attention to when answering. Still using my daily writing tasks as a demonstration. For example, if you want AI to generate a title for you, you can ask like this:
“Now, you are a title generator. The title is about summarizing how to ask questions to AI using a formula; mastering this questioning formula can greatly improve the quality of AI’s answers. Give me 10 Chinese titles. The titles should make the reader feel relevant, provide benefits, be interesting, and create anticipation. Each title should not exceed 20 Chinese characters.”
In just 10 seconds, I received 10 titles, and each one looked quite good. This speed is something no human can achieve!

10. “AI Questioning Tips, Quality of Answers Leaps Forward!”
Another little trick is to add limiting words.If you want the answers AI provides to be as close as possible to what you want, you can achieve this by adding constraints.For example: ① Ask for specific numerical values, “Give 10 of them”, “Give 5 of them”;② Specify the publication channel, “Topics suitable for public account” and so on.
Of course, the above is just an example based on my work. In fact, AI can do much more. You can delegate all the tedious tasks you dislike to it. Daily reports, PPT presentations, event planning, data visualization, etc., these trivial and complex workplace tasks not only take a lot of time but also consume a lot of energy. If you need to report to your boss, it takes even more effort to format and add images, and one mistake may lead to overtime. However, using AI for these tasks is much quicker and more convenient. ROUND 1: Automatically Write Weekly Reports Workers have long suffered from weekly reports. Sometimes, because they don’t want to waste time, they can only hurriedly summarize what they did that week and send it to their boss, which is not very readable, and the boss can’t be satisfied either. But with AI, you can easily write a high-quality weekly report.ROUND 2: When in Doubt, Ask AI In daily work, one of the most annoying things for me is encountering questions I don’t understand and feeling embarrassed to ask others! But now , with AI, you can ask anything you don’t know.
For example, I have never done user operations, but suddenly my boss assigns me this task. A strong worker certainly can’t directly refuse or say they don’t know, so you can first ask AI, and you’ll know the answer immediately, faster than asking your boss!!
ROUND 3: AI Plans Event Proposals Also, there is no workplace person who hasn’t planned an event proposal. Previously, writing an event proposal would take at least a day, but now, with AI, it can be very convenient.
On the AI interface, I can directly input “I need a planning proposal for a new media growth event”, and immediately get a reference direction.
In addition to such planning proposals, it can alsowrite outlines, essays, brainstorm, and even polish, revise vocabulary and grammar, shorten or expand text. It can be said to be the best guiding teacher when you have no ideas. ROUND 4: Generate Intelligent PPT with AI When you need to give a report, having a visually appealing PPT really adds points! But finding templates, formatting, etc., takes time, and some templates require payment to use! With AI, you can quickly generate content and automatically design layouts! Some AI software can even achieveone-click PPT generation, and the resulting PPT is visually stunning, with advanced color schemes, which is really convenient.Finally, whether you are an editor, operator, manager, sales, planner… any position, you can try using AI to improve your work efficiency.
