Own The Conversation - Issue 87
Early careers in Conversational AI. Loads of jobs over the last week! It's getting busy and I'm almost running out of space on this email! So how would you like to receive job alerts?
Recent conversations relating to hiring in Conversational AI have been really focused on people in their early careers: at-school work experience, apprenticeships, internships and graduate schemes.
If we’re to ensure that there is enough talent in the Conversational AI space, then we need to make sure that school leavers and those in their early careers see this industry as a genuine choice for their careers.
To that end, we’ll be doing more on this subject in the future. But for now, I’d love to know if your company offers such a scheme for Conversational AI.
I talk about this and much more from the recruiter's point of view in my regular LinkedIn Newsletter - H.A.I.R.
Bot Jobs Affiliate Scheme
I have been delighted and bowled over with the amount of people who are starting to tag both me (Martyn) and Bot Jobs in LinkedIn posts about Conversational AI roles and vacancies.
However, I don’t think that a quick thumbs up from me cuts it when it comes to the appreciation of our community. So I am launching an affiliate scheme. Simply, if you refer a business to the Job Board and they pay for a job posting(s) then you get a percentage of that charge. I think this will be ready to launch in the next couple of weeks, after I iron out some technical issues.
👉 If you are interested in being the first to hear about the scheme, then register your interest here 👈
So anyway, let’s get on with things.
If you think your connections would benefit from subscribing to this newsletter, feel free to share it.
And if you are coming here off the back of a social share, or stumbled across it accidentally and think it’s something you need to be subscribed to (why wouldn’t you!?!) then feel free to subscribe here:
So, without further ado, let's dive in and Own The Conversation!
To another great week ahead,
Martyn
Jobs
Firstly, a featured job:
There are now too many jobs being added to go into this newsletter, as Substack is telling me that it’s too long to send by emails. So, here’s the job categories that you can get to quickly from here.
Running another poll this week as I’d like to get a take on how you would prefer to receive job notifications.
FYI, we already have email notifications, which you can sign up to at Bot Jobs, the jobs are all posted to our LinkedIn page and we have a LinkedIn newsletter for regular lists of roles available.
However, I’m aware that these communication channels aren’t always instant or immediate when it comes to your notifications.
So, I’d love to know if you’d be interested in another channel to consume job alerts on:
There are now three ways that I help connect job seekers to opportunities, and employers to Conversational AI professionals:
Bot Jobs… The original and largest job board dedicated to Conversational AI roles, globally. Register for job alerts and get the latest jobs straight into your inbox daily or weekly. Remember, readers of this newsletter get their first posting for free using “FIRST1FREE”.
Bot Jobs Talent Pool… Employers, by getting access to the Talent Pool, can get direct access to candidates without the hassle of advertising and screening applications. If you’re in the market for a new role, or even a conversation, then make sure your profile is up to date and that you turn on the “Display my profile to employers” option on your profile.
Bot Jobs Freelancers… As a freelancer, by joining us, you can not only showcase your skills with your free portfolio builder but also connect with businesses that value your expertise. As a business member, you get to tap into a pool of talented freelancers ready to bring their unique perspectives to your projects.
Events to Attend: 2024 events
I’m curating a crowdsourced list of events to attend in 2024. 30+ events already listed. Are you running a meetup, webinar, summit or conference? Take a look and remember to add your event here. Networking at these kinds of events has brought new opportunities for community members, so make sure to take advantage of any event you can.
As always, if you want to add anything to the next newsletter (events/jobs etc.) then feel free to DM me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Threads.
Here’s hoping you have a great week.
Yours in AI,
Martyn
