Working in Tech - It's Not Just for Computational Linguists!
This popular #linguistics jobs webinar from the LSA is now online as a recording. Description:
In this webinar, we heard from linguists working in tech who found nontraditional, unexpected paths into the sector, and who continue to find new and interesting ways to express and employ their linguistic skills and interests. They shared their experiences, including things they wish they had known when they were starting on this professional path.
This webinar will be of interest to linguistics students and professionals who work in the technology sector or who are considering doing so. The webinar included panel discussion and Q&A.
This webinar was sponsored by the LSA's Special Interest Group (SIG) on Linguistics Beyond Academia.
Panelists: Samantha Beaver, Founder, Memra Language Services; Sam Cooper, Curriculum Specialist, NoRedInk; Christopher Stewart, Analytical Linguist, Google; Frankie Pennington, Data Collection Administrator, Sensory, Inc.; Brent Woo, Language Engineer, Amazon .
You can also download each panelist’s slides from the LSA website.
