NEW! We Just Added an AI Question to the Advize 13 (Here's Why)

As AI changes how work gets done, we're asking professionals what makes humans valuable — and how to stay competitive.

By Emily McSherry, Founder & CEO

We just added a highly requested interview question to the Advize 13, and it's one we think you'll want to hear professionals answer.

But first, let's talk about what the Advize 13 actually is.

What Are the Advize 13?

The Advize 13 is our standardized interview framework—13 core "coffee chat" questions we ask every single professional we interview, developed in business school at UCLA Anderson.

Why standardize the questions?

So you can actually compare careers.

When every professional answers the same questions, you can search by the question that matters most to you:

🤔 "What does a typical day look like?"

🤔 "What's the biggest challenge in your role?"

🤔"What do you wish you'd known before starting?"

Each interview is recorded live as a Q&A conversation. Then we turn each answer into a short, searchable clip—so you don't have to watch a 30-minute video to find the one insight you need.

We developed these 13 questions based on what students actually want to know combined with coffee chat guides from the best-rated career centers at universities in the USA: not sanitized career marketing, but honest insight from people doing the work today.

The New Question: AI and the Future of Work

Here's what we're adding as an optional Question 13B:

"How has AI changed the way you do your job, and what will make someone valuable even as AI becomes more common?"

This question is optional because not every role has been significantly impacted by AI yet. But for the professionals where it's relevant? The answers are incredibly valuable.

Why This Question Matters Right Now

You're entering a workforce where AI is changing how work gets done—fast. And everyone has an opinion about it:

🤓 "AI is going to take all the jobs."

🤓 "AI is just a tool, don't worry about it."

🤓 "Learn to use AI, or you'll be left behind."

But what you actually need is real insight from people doing the work.

How are marketing professionals using AI right now? What parts of their job have changed, and what parts are still deeply human?

How are software engineers thinking about AI tools? What skills matter more now, not less?

How are teachers, designers, consultants, and financial analysts adapting?

You need to hear it from them. Not from think pieces or LinkedIn gurus.

What You'll Learn from These Answers

When professionals answer this question, you'll hear:

👀 Which tasks AI is handling (and which ones it can't)

👀 What skills are becoming more valuable because of AI

👀 How to think about your career in a world where AI exists

👀 What makes humans irreplaceable in their specific field

This isn't about fear. It's about preparation.
