Itβs another Friday
Grateful for everything; the shortcomings, the wins, the Lβs. Grateful to experience another end of the work week.

Here are a few tips to have successful interviews with these AI recruitment training platforms like Mercor, Micro1, or Ethos ..etc
1. Do ensure you apply for roles as soon as the jobs get posted. Should be common knowledge but roles get filled up really fast. I suggest applying within the first 3 days of the job posting.
2. Pause before answering, then be concise. Take 3-12 seconds to think before answering. Donβt ramble. If a question is unclear, it's better to ask for clarification, then answer. Do not pause for more than 3 seconds when you begin answering the question.
3. Always answer every question using the STAR method. These models are trained to score answers using certain rubrics. Always ensure that all answers include Situation, Task, Action, Result in about 60 to 90 seconds, with a real number or outcome at the end.

Mercor is worth $40bn with barely 30k followers on X.
If it were some random crypto project that raised $1mill and valued at $10m, they'd have 300,000 X followers

The ingenuity in this space is unreal yo.
You do know everything youβre saying and typing isnβt exactly what it is, but because of likes and clicks youβd post it.
β¦. And because more people are unaware, you seem to be one with the βanswersβ.

Itβs so crazy, but there are still lots of opportunities in the space.
So many AI labs still needed in Africa too
Mercor has raised a $750 million Series D at a $20 billion valuation to scale our mission of organizing human intelligence for the entire economy.
Every company now needs what we built for the frontier AI labs. Over the next five years, more money will be spent applying AI to real work than building new models, and every company will need evals and post-training built on how its own people work.
Thank you to our 5+ million experts and the customers who have built Mercor with us, and to our investors, including @benchmark, @felicis, @fundomo, funds managed by affiliates of Apollo, G Squared, @generalcatalyst, @GladeBrookCap, @nvidia, @salesforce, @SapphireVC, @StepStoneVC, XTX Ventures, and @Zoom.
Thank you to our team of time travelers who turn our ambitions into reality. And to those who want to build with us, weβre hiring.
When I first started as an AI trainer, I had no idea what I was doing.
My first project as an AI trainer was an e-commerce simulator, and it wasn't what I expected at all.
I couldn't wrap my head around the concept. I was clicking through fake shopping tasks and writing out what I did, and none of it made sense to me.
Then it clicked. AI learns from examples, just like a kid does. My job was to create good, correct examples, and to confirm that what the AI did was right.
Once I understood that, the whole thing made sense. Understanding all that made me know what these AI training jobs are. It really helped with the way I approached interviews.
My success rate shot up massively.

Stop whining yourself lol.
Project Odin is most likely done.
If it would ever resume, the entire rules, the guidelines, the rubrics, and most other instructions would change.
Clients use the examples (data) submitted by annotators (testers) to help train and improve their AI. With all the number of videos and samples sent, that's enough training data for the client.
To continue the project, the dynamics of the tasks would need to change to properly train their AI.
Best to think ahead and grow yourself within the space. If Odin returns, fine. If it doesn't, fine π

Imagine getting paid $550 for a short call because of your experience using AI.
How much is your time really worth?

Mercor is the best AI training platform out there, but it doesnβt mean there arenβt others paying just as high.
Micro1 has been the most rewarding platform for me.
The trick is to get experience from as many AI training platforms as you can. The experiences from working with platforms like
Mindrift
Meridial
Data annotation dot tech
Turing
Would really help make you a more senior trainer.
The possibilities in the industry are endless
Everyone just catching on with the AI training gigs.
Itβs not a popular opinion, but itβs only just starting. Very soon Domain experts would be in so much high demand.

One of the books that would really improve your life.
Living becomes a lot easier once these are part of your life
Which of these two phones took this pic?
For $100 choose one of the options
a) Google Pixel 11 Pro XL
b) IPhone 17 pro Max
c) Another phone not visibly in frame
Everyone's asking which jobs AI will take.
Wrong question.
Ask who's teaching the AI.
Domain experts are becoming AI trainers, and it's one of the fastest-growing paths in tech.
I'm building something to help you get there.
This is an opportunity to understand what the new AI training industry really is.
You will move from being a novice to become an expert AI trainer, build professional CVs that highlight your strengths as an expert AI trainer.
So much cooking rn.
AI is not just the future but the present.

Didnβt even want this attention, just wanted to show that people are making it sound more difficult than it really is.

Why arenβt you maxing out on the opportunities in AI training?
How do web3 jobs compare to AI training jobs?
Entry level web3 jobs are not worth chasing right now. The market is rough, hiring is on the low, and junior pay is mostly small or paid in tokens that will be worth $0 in a few days.
AI training is where the real opportunity is. Companies are paying hourly, remote, and the demand is growing fast with all the AI hype.
If you're starting out, go where the money is moving.
You can literally earn $5k in your first month with no single experience in AI training. You just need a good laptop and a reasoning brain
