Linguistics Career Launch

The theme for today's LCL24 YouTube roundup is research and education! These panels cover opportunities in both private industry and higher ed and can be especially good paths for those who were initially interested in academic roles.

We've got a second round of career management content to round up from LCL24. Figuring out what you what to do and landing a job is one set of challenges, but there can be others too. What if you're still in school and not ready to job search yet? What if you're an international student? Once you start earning money, are you confident in how to manage it? And what happens when the path you're on suddenly ends?

We're excited to share that we'll be doing a live recording of Linguistics Careercast at LingFest25 (April 12, 10-11:30am PT)! This event is FREE to attend and open to all. Host Laurel Sutton will talk with a panel of linguists about how artificial intelligence (especially Gen AI) is impacting linguistics as a field. They'll discuss topics like AI bias, challenges in training data curation, and implications of GenAI on online language data collection. Join us to hear linguists sharing the conversations they're having behind the scenes about the future of this changing technical landscape.

LSA Statement Against Designating English as the Official Language:

For anyone attending the SfAA meeting in Portland, this will be a great workshop! ACRN and Elizabeth K. Briody, Ph.D. have excellent resources for job seekers with social science backgrounds.

Today we've got another LCL24 video to share: "Content Creation: A Path to Alternative Careers." Join Erin Kuester in this workshop on finding alternative careers through content creation! It is especially useful for anyone who is interested in starting their own business, freelancing (whether full-time or part-time), or becoming a content creator in general. This workshop is also helpful for personal branding and self-promotion in the job search process and in networking. Learn about finding and understanding an audience, types of content, carving out a niche, platform-specific strategies, using content to market a business, monetization, and alternative careers.
