You have very kindly and insightfully answered a questionI have earlierasked on job. Thank you. I will prepare accordingly. I have one more question (perhaps too much of a detail). Renewable energy consulting seems to be a very active area with heavy recruitment activity. I have a purely academic and research background on a variety of renewable energy topics such as integration of renewable energy resources to electricity grids but had to leave teaching as profession as my department in a private college closed. I am wondering, my being an ex-academic (with a PhD) itself is discrediting me from getting an interview call from the industry.

Ans: You should do train the trainer program for companies in renewable energy like wind, solar etc.
I feel develop a 2 hour module as a generic module for each vertical. give a talk free to their people at different levels, take feedback and refine your content, superspecialise in one segment. find the GAP what they want. There will be a huge demand- your Biryani should be the best and people will stand in queue- Subhra jaisa koi nahi!

My daughter did her graduation in November 2023 from a top-ranked university in Canada - University of British Columbia, Vancouver (QS World Rank within 35). She is interested in a job in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and related software domains. She graduated with an interdisciplinary BSc in Cognitive Systems, including several courses from Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Neuroscience, etc.. Unfortunately, unlike in US universities, there's no Campus Placement facilities available in UBC and most Canadian universities. Please advise how to get into a job in this gloomy economic scenario, in Canada (USA is ruled out because OPT is not available for non-US university graduates).
Ans: Hello Indranil. Thanks for reaching out to us. Given your daughter's background in cognitive systems with coursework in computer science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neuroscience from a prestigious institution like the University of British Columbia (UBC), she has a strong base for having a career in AI and related fields. Although no campus placement is challenging, there are ways to find a job while keeping in mind the gloomy economic condition.

1. Encourage your daughter to leverage her professional network, including alumni, professors, and industry contacts. Attending industry events, seminars, and meetups can provide valuable networking opportunities and help her connect with potential employers or mentors in the field of AI and software development.

2. An online presence, such as having an account on LinkedIn, is important. She can showcase her skills and achievements—both academic and extracurricular—so far, reach out to professionals,etc
