Introduction
In 2025, we often hear that artificial intelligence is changing everything. But what is not often said is: which jobs are people actually chasing after?
From LinkedIn's "Jobs on the Rise" report to analyses of required skills — this is what you need to know if you are looking for a job or want to prepare yourself for the upcoming competition.
📊 What do the reports say?
According to LinkedIn, Software Engineer, Nurse, and Sales Representative are among the jobs that are still frequently listed in job advertisements.
In the broader list of "Fastest Growing Jobs 2025", we find that jobs in artificial intelligence, data analysis, and cybersecurity roles are classified as the fastest growing.
Additionally, LinkedIn itself confirms that the fastest growing skills include AI literacy, adaptability to change, and critical thinking ability.
This data gives us a preliminary picture: not everything that shines "technically" is a real opportunity, but there are opportunities built from a mix of technology and humanity.
🔍 The real challenges in applying these trends
The Skill Gap
Many candidates lack advanced technical skills or practical experience to apply AI, which leaves job vacancies unfilled.
Less reliance on traditional qualifications
There is a growing movement towards skills-based hiring instead of qualifications, especially in AI roles and green jobs.
High competitiveness
With thousands of jobs being announced daily, the average candidate will not stand out if they rely solely on traditional resumes without adding digital distinction or useful content.
🛠 How can you benefit from these trends?
Here are some practical steps:
Review the specialisations that are frequently listed in the Jobs on the Rise report. Do they suit you?
Develop the skills that topped the lists of emerging skills, such as AI literacy and critical thinking.
Add projects or practical models in your field — even if they are experimental — to your professional portfolio.
If you specialise in a niche area (for example, AI ethics, security for small systems) — your competitive opportunities may be greater.

The LinkedIn report serves as a roadmap for the professional landscape in 2025.
