  "account": "The job market has become more competitive for recent graduates in the era of artificial intelligence, according to recent research. The share of entry-level positions in the overall number of job vacancies is at its lowest in the past five years, and this trend shows no signs of reversing. Artificial intelligence is taking over tasks that were traditionally performed by new graduates, such as research, creating presentations, writing protocols, and drafting text.\n\nTo stand out in today's job market, applicants must highlight their individual strengths and skills. Bosch, for example, values \"soft\" skills like empathy, people skills, creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to learn, as well as flexibility and adaptability. Candidates can demonstrate these qualities by citing specific examples from past projects where they exemplified these traits. Commerzbank and BCG also prioritize soft skills such as customer orientation, self-reliance, and teamwork.\n\nThe International Labour Organization (ILO) reports that AI is increasingly taking on tasks that were once performed by new graduates, such as researching, creating presentations, compiling protocols, and writing text. This technology demands more from job applicants, who must showcase their ability to use AI effectively and responsibly. Soft skills, such as critical thinking and sound judgment, are highly sought after by companies like Bosch, Bosch, Rheinmetall, and BCG.\n\nThe software company Celonis, one of Germany's most valuable startups, places a high value on soft skills and the ability to guide AI in software development, testing, and documentation. The company emphasizes technical judgment and practical wisdom as crucial competencies for new graduates. The survey of 500 HR managers by Robert Half also indicates a growing demand for AI-related skills in the German labor market. While nearly half of the respondents expect employees to bring new technical or AI-related competencies to the table, the level of expertise required varies depending on the employer and the specific area of work.\n\nIn conclusion, recent graduates must adapt to the changing job market by emphasizing their unique strengths, mastering AI-related skills, and demonstrating their ability to use technology responsibly.",
