• Can you compete against someone with a Neuralink Link?

• Link users may have the edge over non-linked.

• Will a linked individual be more valuable to a company?

If you don’t know what Neuralink does, I suggest you read my previous post: (Elon Musk’s Neuralink: What They Do, How The Tech Works, And Its Potential Impact.)

Intro:

One of the last questions of a job interview that many dread to answer: “Why should we hire you over the other applicants?” After a few interviews, most people can come up with something to say, but it may be a lot harder in the future when you’re competing for a position against someone with a Neuralink Link implant.

How would you respond to a question like this? “Why should we hire you over the candidates with the Neuralink Link? Do you possess any of their common attributes? Perfect memory recall, download learning, anything like that?” I’m sure the best of us can conjure a few advantages that may land the job, but it may be challenging for most.

People who are linked may be more desirable to an employer because they might be more efficient, have better communication skills, and overall be of higher value to the company.

Efficiency:

If you have ever worked for a company, big or small, you know efficiency is something they keep detailed track of, meticulously, through metrics: tracking you through various engagements; from the location of your mouse to your IM chats, everything.

All this tracing is supposedly used to help improve performance and make employees more efficient, but that’s not been many people's experiences. Though, with the introduction of linked employees, all traditional metrics will have to be rewritten entirely, not needing computers for documents, meetings, presentations, anything, which should drastically improve productivity and be less intrusive.

The amount of time a company could save in a year from their employees not having to operate a computer physically, just working through thought alone would significantly decrease operating costs.

Broader Communicators:

Individuals with the Link implanted will have unique communicative abilities that will attract potential employers because of the biographical knowledge that could be downloaded about customers, clients, and coworkers. This personal information will allow them to orchestrate conversations to resolve issues, close deals, and cohesively work with other coworkers, linked and non-linked.

Employees with the implant will be able to work with anyone, anywhere, from any country, no matter what language they speak. If an employee doesn’t have a specific language package installed, it can be purchased, downloaded, and applicable in minutes.

Miscommunication will be far less likely while connecting to a linked person, making conversations clear, comfortable, and helpful, which will create a more pleasant experience for everyone involved and yield a higher return in customers.

Overall Higher Value:

Workers who have chosen to get the Neuralink implant may be more valuable to a company than the non-linked because they could cost less to train, don’t need as much physical equipment or maintenance, and commit fewer traditional human-type errors.

Training would essentially be illuminated for Link users; it would most likely be narrowed down to be a phone call, email, or message with download instructions. Once downloaded and installed, you should be good to go with all the company's info and needed work tools, just a thought away; no need to take weeks of training to memorize all the new material and procedures.

The costs saved by linked employees could go into other needed areas of the company, raise pay, or maybe even offer to pay for a non-linked employee's Neuralink implant to harmonize the system further and make even higher profits.

Conclusion:

The bottom line is companies want to save and make as much money as possible, and if a business has enough linked employees, they may be able to take their company to the next profit level. So when you're in an interview in a few years and get asked that dreaded question, “Why should we hire you over someone who has a Neuralink implant?” you should have a pretty good idea of how it might go.

Some may not want to think about it, but soon we will all have to choose: stay traditional-minded and struggle to find good, high-paying jobs, or become linked and have unlimited potential in any job we desire.
