Over the last few years, I had the opportunity to recruit AI music engineers for several tech companies. In the process, I noted that even the best candidates rarely submit strong applications.
I see a number of mistakes applicants make all the time:
đź“Ś Extremely long CVs
đź“Ś Generic cover letters
đź“Ś No GitHub page shared
đź“Ś Botched technical assignments
👉 Submitting a strong job application can dramatically increase the chance of landing your dream job.
Failing to do so makes it difficult for a recruiter to understand your amazing skills. The sad reality is that you won’t be selected, even if you are the best candidate.
In this video, you can learn 5 strategies to prepare strong applications for AI (audio) roles. These tips apply to most technical jobs.
