Did anybody try Google's Career Dreamer over the weekend?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I did not. I saw some headlines about them announcing
that it's using AI to help you find what path
you should explore based on previous experience. Previous experience exactly.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
The layoffs, I don't.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I mean, it's been in the works for a long time, right,
I think the timing certainly helps, but yeah, no, I
don't think they created it over the weekend just because
of all of the layoffs that are going on. So
what I didn't I didn't try to use it. I
wanted to try to use it, not because I'm looking
yet the Is it free? I thought it was.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I thought it was. Yeah, they made the experiment available
to the general public, making career exploration a little bit
easier for everyone. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
And what is it gonna? What is it supposed to
tell me? So if I put in my past experience.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Career, Yeah, career paths aren't always straightforward, but your unique
life experiences are a superpower. Elliot, you know what that
that is true?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Because think about all I've ever done, all I've ever
done in my life. I mean, for real, is this
job like, yes, did I work at the box office.

But anyway, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
The career dreamer helps you uncover those skills and explore
new career possibilities in a simple, playful way. Oh was
is this like kind of gamified? I don't know about that.

mean legit? Like?

I don't think it's going to come out and go, Well,
you could be a Jack in the box, Like, I
don't think that's supposed to be the answer employee there,
or I could be an employee of Jack in the Box.
I even know they're shorthand two chicks, no toes, two
chicken sandwiches, no tomatoes, no no. Like you're like a
stupid Like it's not gonna say you're a slinky, Like

confuse you with diplo.

Speaker 1 (03:13):

but I hate that. Oh, I'm an air personality. I've
heard your show. You you're a mouth breather barely.

Speaker 3 (03:51):

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, this is about you. Yeah, all right, here I go.
You'll be replaced by the engine that fuels this online search.
All right. So it's generated insights for your role as
a disc jockey, and it wants you to select all
the tasks you perform as a DJ, right, Yes, create
and curate playlists that cater to specific audiences and time slots.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh no, no, okay, I don't create music nor playlists, okay,
for any time slots.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Introduce and promote music artists and events. Yes, yeah, more so.
Events interact with listeners through on air segments, phone calls,
and social media.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Real callers, yes, not the fake ones that they tape
out like oh, who should I send the roses?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
To maintain a consistent and engaging on air presence, I
mean I try to collaborate with producers, engineers, and other
station personnel.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yes, I mean I collaborate with you guys. I wouldn't
click that one, Yan says yes, that makes me like,
do you collaborate a lot with.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
I'm speaking for him he talks to Aaron and whatnot?

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Whatnot? All right?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
And stay informed about current music trends. No, no, okay.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I some but no not not not not feel better
about the three you checked off? Yes, yes, about introducing
and promoting music and artists.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
And events and events. I promote artists. All right, I'm
hitting next there for you. Thank you? All right, So
now it is wanting it looks like you to select
three tasks that apply to your job as a disc jockey. Okay,
music selection no, No, audio mixing, no performance. Wait a minute,

(05:55):
I do audio mixing.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
No.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
No, like if somebody.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
But if I if there's a song running and a
caller calls, I push up the caller so I can
hear them.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
It does say. An example is adjusting levels.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I adjust levels and all the I don't think it
means in the way that they're talking to our.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Mics on hundreds of times a week.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Absolutely and off only forgets occasionally they hit all of them.
Or people will hear you say. Music will be so
loud and you'll hear elica O wrong pot, But that's
live mixing. That's live mixing. So you want me to
click audio mixing for you. I don't think the way
I do it is the way that they're intending it.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
It says adjusting levels and transitions. Yeah, I'm transitioning and leveling.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
I'm doing almost all of the times you almost hit
the pot.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Well, that has nothing to do with levels. As a
matter of fact, you know that transitioning.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I don't like when DJ's run the music quietly and
then they get to on the pirates and it goes
all the way up.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Stupid. And that is why often people say they can't
hear you the Oh yeah, you like to ride the
music hot?

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I do like talking hot. Oh the music so hot?
Oh got to ride it that way?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh? Yes. And it's a good thing to check off
audio mixing because you have to pick at least three
skills that apply to you. Oh how many am I
at one?

Speaker 1 (07:22):
One?

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah? Oh okay, Well there's still plenty of options. Performance. Yes,
so it says you are likely comfortable performing in front
of an audience, engaging with the crowd, and maintaining energy levels.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yes, I'm always I'm always I'm not always energetic, but
I'm always entergy.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
The next one is time management.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yes, no, Elliott, start to show on time every day,
and then how do you manage the day?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah? I managed to finish up at some point. No,
you were definitely not clicking that one. We start on time, right,
This is pretty uh generic communication.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, buddy, are you able to interact with clients, promoters
and other stakeholders as well as listeners?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yes, yes, at an excelled level. Thank you. How are
you with problem solving? And they say specifically with technical issues? Oh,
big fat.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
App How calmly you react? You react when you're you're
still coffee?

Speaker 1 (08:27):
I am, I am calm, but I can't fix any
of it. I can't fix it.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
If I did, i'd get rid of the stupid clicking
that was in.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
The phone for ee not putting your coffee right there?

Speaker 2 (08:36):
The that isn't an electronical issue. Whose team are you on? Yeah,
but can you just Diane, that's not an election.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
I'm just pointing out small inaccuracies.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Of the word electronical.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
The whatever, dude, when the if something breaks, I can't
I can't fix it.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I can't. But by the way, I'm also not an engineer.
I am a disc jockey. When that when they asked.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Me to furnish it fill it out, it didn't say
air engineer, No, the air personality.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
So for the next one, they're wondering about your creativity, Hi,
being able to come up with unique and engaging uh mixes,
incorporating different styles and elements to create a memorable show experience.
Oh I don't know about that. Yeah, I'll say yes, okay.
And then the last one is public speaking. Yeah, I

(09:28):
like it. It's not what they're wondering.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh, yes, what about it? Are you comfortable with the
English language? I'm comfortable with it and all the time. Yeah,
so you're you're confident. I mean, listen, I'm not going
to go back and apologize for saying electronical.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Would you be selected to speak on behalf of Spoken
Out a high school?

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yes? Okay, yes, mostly because the well yes, so you've
gotten to three. You've actually selected five. You don't even
have to click more skills to try to know.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I have so many I am overloaded on skill all right,
So now what happens is it's creating a career identity
statement for you and it and you're you're able to
regenerate if you don't think this is accurate. No, I
mean it's probably accurate. I mean, I know what my

(10:25):
gut's telling me. I'm a skilled communicator with a passion
for connecting with audiences. My experience as a disc jockey
has honed my ability to engage listeners through dynamic presentations
and curated musical experiences. That's because you said that you
promote artists in events. There was events in there. Thrive
in creative environments where I can leverage my performance skills

(10:48):
and technical expertise to create impactful and memorable moments than you.
Are you happy with that identity statement or do you
want to regenerate it? I think I'm alright with it. Oh,
you know what we didn't add? Education? Oh? Should we
just leave that blank?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I mean that's what the answer is going to be, Okay, Like,
does it give you a choice? I graduated from high school?
Some college?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Thank you tell me to write some college? Is that
a choice? Let's say student level? I have here, high
school diploma or a degree? No, so high school diploma.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
High school diploma with honors, with honors. Well, it's not
an option.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Actually, they're curious what your favorite subject high school was? Well,
in English for science. No, I hated science. I hated
it science. If we don't write English history, it may
change your identity statement. There was so much about communicating.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I know, but but I'm telling you it wasn't my
favorite subject.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Just let's go, I'd say math. I was good at math.
That edition I did word problem addition.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah all right, So now we go to next year.
We've got your identity statement regenerating. It probably didn't change
an It took out a sentence or two.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
I'm going to go with brevity.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Wait why did take it out?

Speaker 1 (12:22):
I think because because of my education to give you
career paths to look into, and because you don't have
a degree in me.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
You have a degree in high school limit you. Okay,
that's fine.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well you know what if if my if my education
isn't good enough for your company, your company is not
good enough for me.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
It actually changed the final line of your career identity statement.
Thank you, and now says I bring a unique blend
of technical skill and artistic sensibility to every project. Okay,
I have no technical skill zero. No, you said you
you're good with levels. Oh that's right.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
You want to be honest when you answer these things,
what technically, honestly, what are they going to say? What
technical skill do I have? No, you were honest that
you are not an engineer. Yeah, but are they going
to lead me down some technical road?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Let's see? Are you ready to explore the paths for you? Yes?
I am? Or do you want to add other interests
just to make sure this is perfectly curated for you?
Hockey and smoking? It's smoking. Describe a career, industry or
field and interests to hockey hockey, all right? And for
hockey it generated these insights, O God, select two statements

(13:31):
that apply to your hockey interests.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Like watching like players, You enjoy the thrill of competition
and teamwork.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, and we only selecting up to two. Up to two, okay,
go ahead. I like to push myself physically and mentally
to achieve mastery. Next, I want to be part of
a community that shares my passion for hockey. Yes, that's uge. Yeah.
I value the discipline and dedication required for athletic excellence. No,

(14:05):
I enjoy strategic planning and the tactical execution involved in
the game. I like that, But yeah, I like that
you like that more than the teamwork? Well, teamwork is
I mean, that's what it's all about. Okay, just leave
those two. Those two are good. Those two are good.
That's why I'm good on the old cast. Now it
has changed. Oh it added a sentence back to your

(14:25):
identity statement. Oh and you, mister Gratzki. No, it says
I bring energy and a collaborative spirit to any project,
much like the teamwork I value in hockey. Yeah. Funny.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
If you ask the people here, they would say, he's
the furthest thing from teamwork.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh, we should have taken that one off. So you're
ready now to explore it. Now I'm ready to see
what my next job is. Okay, here we go. It
is searching results from a labor market database clamenting with
artificial intelligence. Thank you a I all right, So I guess.

(15:09):
So there's titles of jobs floating around you. The closest
one to you is reporter. Oh I'd be a good reporter.
I'd be a good reporter.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I've always said I want smoking al Cokin's job, like,
not before he retires, Like I'm not looking to push
him out.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Then you have media talent director.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
No, no, no, no, I cannot be a talent director.
I try to tell the dis jock he's at this
radio station to do their shows.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Live and they don't listen to me.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Then you have podcast hosts. God no, god no, And
then you have coach. I think the mention of hockey
spoiled your results. Like what kind of coach?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well may click on coach. It says a coach works
with individual athletes or with sports teams to develop skills
and improve teamwork and competitive performance.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I have always told Jeff Halpern that if he became
a head coach, I'd like to be on his coaching staff.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
If you say to that, I think it's why he's
not getting head coach.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
No, no, I think Jeff would like to have me around,
but not in a coaching role, but like just to
like hang out with. So I'm not coaching, I'd learn.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
So then what it allows you to do when you
click on one of the roles that you think you'd
be good at, podcast or well, no, I clicked on coach.
Oh yeah, You then can regenerate your identity statement again
using coach specifically and choosing either your sweet spot of performance,
communication or teamwork. No, just remove no, but you don't

(16:49):
want coach to be on there because right next to
coach is a repair or service technician. I'm better at coaching.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yes, I would rather have you coach pe then try
to fix my car.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Reporter, I'd be good at reporter. I'd be good at
for a reporter, your sweet spots or communication, public speaking
and creativity. Yeah, like I see some of the reporters here,
I could do that job. It says that your experience
as a disc jockey is a valuable asset in reporting.
We're conveying complex information effectively is crucial? Do you like that?

(17:25):
That's pretty good? Yeah, I got I could be a listen.
I see some of the reporters.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Oh, oh, don't you think don't you think who's like,
who's who's not a good reporter at Channel four?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
This will be fun? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, no, But who's one that you just look at
and you go, like in terms of what engagement, like
being good at being a reporter like Valencia is great,
Drew Wilder is good. Oh you know, you know who
I would be? You know who I would be, And
I'm sure he's a very nice guy. But I blow
away Joe's of OLMO totally.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
And is that because you would be able to find
unique angles and perspectives on events, captivating the US with
your originality. He's original enough, no, very unoriginal? Actually, then
why do you learn how to speak Spanish? The okay,
buenos dias? Good morning? Uh, good morning channel quatro?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
All you need?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, I nailed it. I'd be a good reporter. So
you're happy with the result generation too, I'm either yeah,
because I'm either taking almost job or I'm taking al
Cocain's job.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
But I'm not. I don't I'm not taking al Cocain's job.
It's not bad. And then it obviously is helping you
and I could be a technician, right your resume or
your legard pretty smart to you know what?

Speaker 3 (18:55):
You know?

Speaker 2 (18:55):
What does kind of come through on here?

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Though not even really for the qualification part, not really
even qualified to be a disc jockey.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Well, it knows you're that, so why would it say
to be that now? As if you're looking to explore
a different path. Oh okay, yeah, then I'm then I'm
all right at that.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
A lot of the skills you need to be a
disc jockey, though I struggled to say yes too.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Sorry air personality. It said you could be a podcast host.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
The how bad would that be? How miserable would that?
I bet it be about hockey? The yes and coaching. Well,
I mean one goes with the other, of course it would.
But that's pretty smart.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
And like we said, I think this just rolled out.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
I saw it over the weekend. I saw it, but
I didn't go through it. It's a little confusing to use.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
No.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Maybe when done in this setting and we were we
had it up on the big screen and you weren't
privately trying to do it on your own. Well, it's
much more honest when you do it with others. Well, Diane,
I feel like was calling you out on the music post, right, No,
how's that relevant for his future job as a service tech.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Work on the audience.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
I got music on while I'm gone changing out your engine. Absolutely, hey,
turn it up. I'm good on levels. I think it's
very bad.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Ever since I got it back from the shop. It's
so loud.
