Own The Conversation - Issue 90
Last newsletter for 2 weeks, birthday observations, a new featured role and lots of other Conversational AI career goodies inside.
Colleagues,
Firstly, this will be the last newsletter for 2 weeks, as I am heading off on a family vacation from this week, until our return on May 7th. So the next edition of this newsletter will be on Sunday May 12th.
For regular job updates, make sure you are signed up for alerts on Bot Jobs.
It was also my birthday this week (no guesses at how far into middle-aged I am), but I have some interesting observations:
My LinkedIn inbox is now a complete mess, with hundreds of automated birthday messages being sent by LinkedIn accounts who have, mainly, connected with me to sell me something completely irrelevant. I wish you could opt-out of this (maybe there is a setting to turn off birthdays, I’ll have to look into it).
I’m at that time of my life where I struggle to give ideas for presents - this either results in no presents, or presents that I do not want. I need to plan better for this.
It’s nice to take a day off for your birthday. More employers should offer this as standard - an additional day of leave just for your birthday.
Anyway, on the good stuff. See you on the other side of my vacation!
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, our featured jobs (click the images to be taken straight to the jobs):
There are now too many jobs being added to list them individually in 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.
FYI, if you want timely alerts on roles added to Bot Jobs, then 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. I even post them to my X (formally, Twitter) feed.
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
