My Technical Background That Secured a Computational Linguist Role at Apple

Are you curious about pursuing a career in computational linguistics? In this video, I address a common question: Do you need to have a strong background in programming, informatics, statistics, and artificial intelligence (AI)? Join us as we delve into the essential skills and knowledge required for success in the field of computational linguistics. 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.
