How To Land A Job In Artificial Intelligence (AI)

With the growth of career options exploding in the field of AI, interest is skyrocketing. To help marketers understand how to break into the field, I sought insight from Marc Cenedella, founder of Leet Resumes and The Ladders, and author of seven Amazon Careers #1 bestsellers. To address this complex issue, this is the second part of a two-part series (the first part is available here).

When asked how marketers can land a job in AI, Cenedella suggested that there are 4 things they can do.

Demonstrate Interest. “Marketers should demonstrate they are putting in the time and effort to become experts. This includes practicing daily with AI tools and proving to prospective employers that you have curiosity, capacity, and capability.”

Read. “Demonstrate that you’re reading newsletters in the field, keeping up with research on Large Language Models (like ChatGPT), and engaging in online forums.”

Update Resume and Cover Letter – Carefully. “Many people are attempting to use ChatGPT for this. That is a mistake. ChatGPT is a generic Large Language Model. Generic models produce generic results. Your resume is not the place to be average.”

Use the Right Tools. “Standout AI resumes require specialized AI tools. A free AI-based resume writing service like Leet Resumes (leet.co) guides you through the process step-by-step (you don’t even have to try to figure out good resume writing prompts). It will create a resume and cover letter that sets you apart from other applicants so you can get that new job faster and easier than ever before.
