From Degrees → Credentials → Signals → Presence

Zuckerberg just demoed it.
Glasses that overlay AI.
A wristband that senses electrical signals before you move.
Not magic - muscle intent translated into machine-readable commands.

Why does that matter for work?
Because every hiring system is moving the same way.

• Resume Era (past): your career lived on paper. Employers scanned words.

• Credential Era (present): degrees, badges, portfolios. Employers verify documents.

• Signal Era (emerging): machines scan patterns - behavioral traces, micro-credentials, telemetry. Eligibility gets decided by what’s detectable.

Now comes the Presence Era.
Glasses and wearables don’t just capture what we do - they capture the subtle state beneath action: attention, readiness, focus, micro-intent.

Presence isn’t a document you submit.
It isn’t a badge you earn.
It’s a currency of being - legible, measurable, tradable.

That currency could filter who gets seen, hired, or trusted.
But it could also unlock recognition for what’s always been invisible - the calm, the focus, the readiness that no resume ever showed.

👉 If presence becomes a currency… who sets the exchange rate?

This isn’t mind-reading. It’s intent-reading - a new kind of proof.
If machines can read intent before action, “proof of skill” expands from what you say you can do → to what you’re about to do.

Careers aren’t disappearing… they’re being rewritten. Can you hear it?
