Bonjour! In this video, let's discuss 5 things that helped me land my first job in tech as a computational linguist/web developer with the Siri TTS team. As always, I'll share actionable tips and will help you build your job search strategy. It'll be more useful for those who are looking for their first job in tech as well.
In my videos, I regularly share tips and tricks for learning foreign languages, especially English and French, as I am speaking and learning these languages. I also document my journey of transitioning from linguistics to software development and share the lessons I've learned while job searching and learning how to code. Subscribe to my channel to stay updated with my language learning and tech content!
