How to Get Hired in the AI Era

The job market for junior roles in AI-related fields has become more challenging, with a noticeable drop in hiring for entry-level positions. To succeed, candidates should focus on demonstrating ownership and the ability to see tasks through to completion. Building a strong portfolio with real projects on platforms like GitHub is now more important than a traditional resume, as it provides tangible proof of skills. Additionally, developing soft skills like constructive disagreement, gaining experience through volunteering, and writing publicly can significantly increase visibility and reputation with hiring managers.
