3 AI Skills to Land your Job in ... The Automation Industry
Some people assume automation is about software: algorithms, digital twins, remote monitoring dashboards. In practice, the industry is deeply physical. A robotic arm on a production line that welds the same joint ten thousand times a day with sub-millimeter repeatability. A programmable logic controller that keeps a bottling plant running in sequence, every second, without deviation. A motion control system precise enough to place a component on a circuit board at speeds a human hand could never match. These are tangible products; the factory floor does not forgive imprecision. I spent more than 10 years working with the automation industry as a supplier, with companies like Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Kuka among my key accounts. I understand what automation companies require from their partners and their people; I also know which skills are shifting fast right now because of AI. This Tuesday session covers the automation industry: one of the most technically rigorous, capital-intensive, and rapidly evolving sectors in industrial manufacturing. We will discuss three specific AI skills that are changing what hiring managers expect, and how you can demonstrate them before you walk into an interview. If you want a career where the tangible product you sell or develop keeps the modern world running, this session is for you.
October Series - Creating a Career Plan (Session 2)
Jumping into the job search without a plan is like heading into battle without any armor or strategy. The most successful job seekers treat this step as building their strategy. It’s not just about knowing what you want, but also want you don't want. And how you’re going to avoid it. This means identifying what you’re looking for, what you’re not looking for, and assembling the tools and resources you’ll need along the way. The job search plan is the foundation for everything that follows. Without it, you’re likely to waste time on the wrong opportunities or get stuck in endless cycles of busywork. By taking the time to create a strategy and assemble your repertoire you give yourself the best chance of career success.
October Series - Reaching your Network (Session 5)
Are you missing out on opportunities? Most job seekers don’t follow up after applications or interviews. Even fewer take the time to learn from rejection. The cost of not following up or seeking feedback is that you miss out on valuable information and opportunities to improve. Staying stuck in the same patterns leads to frustration and wasted effort. Building a follow-up system and actively seeking feedback helps you identify trends, such as why you were declined or rejected, and allows you to iterate and get better with each attempt. Getting feedback from your "job search system" is crucial for finding patterns and making meaningful change in your career.
