But how to get into the AI field without those studies? 🧐

Not really.
You will also most probably need to make money and thus find a job (or create yours like Brian).
Here are some of Brian’s tips on landing this first job… 👇
1️⃣ Personalizing resumes: Brian emphasizes the importance of showcasing quantifiable impacts the candidate has made, whether it’s speeding up a service, improving a model’s performance, or generating revenues for an employer.
2️⃣ The power of brand and online presence: Don’t underestimate the influence of a strong personal brand and an online profile when it comes to recruiting. Share your work, collaborate, and use social media to your advantage.
3️⃣ Build connections: Dive into old-school social networking and start making connections in the industry. Reach out to people on LinkedIn, attend networking events, join online communities, and go the extra mile to stand out in a competitive market.
4️⃣ Share a story: Recruiters know your resume. They’ve read it. Once you get into the interview: share your story! Talk about a project you worked on and the challenges you surpassed. Anything that makes you, you!
