There are numerous articles explaining how to stay ahead of the AI curve and what AI cannot accomplish.

However, I continue to write my own articles and take my own photographs.

Tips For Job Seekers: Tough Interview Questions

How do you gain influence and trust as a new hire?

The objective of this question is to ascertain your approaches to establishing professional relationships and fostering self-assurance in your capabilities as a new member of a team or organization. Employers are particularly interested in candidates who can not only excel in their respective fields but also contribute to and improve the organization’s overall dynamic. Consequently, it is imperative to clearly articulate your approach to establishing trust and influence with new colleagues. The following are the primary factors to take into account when responding to this question:

Your initial interactions with new team members and how you exhibit your competency.
How you build relationships professionally.
Your clarification, understanding, and execution of your responsibilities.
Your attitude towards teamwork and collaboration.
How you handle constructive criticism, mistakes, and learning opportunities.

Answer Example
In previous roles, I’ve found that three main strategies have helped me earn trust and influence as a new hire. Firstly, I invest time to get to know my colleagues as individuals. I think it’s essential to understand their roles, challenges and how I might assist them. Secondly, I believe in making my actions speak for me; I work diligently to perform as promised, meet deadlines, and achieve the required standard or higher. Lastly, I accept feedback and continuously strive to improve, demonstrating that I value learning and growth.

Five Best Things To Visit In Barcelona!

Check out this place I found on Expedia!

Stay at B&B HOTEL Barcelona Mataró from September 26 to October 2 for $473 (six nights).

Park Güell
Park Güell is the reflection of Gaudí’s broad artistic talents. The park which belongs to his naturalist phase (first decade of the 20th century). During this period, the architect perfected his style through inspiration from organic shapes. His practice introduced a series of new structural solutions rooted in the analysis of geometry, but adding creative liberty and an imaginative, ornamental style. Starting from a sort of Baroquism, his works acquire a structural richness of forms and volumes, free of the rational rigidity or any sort of classic premises. In the design of Park Güell, Gaudí put to practice much of his innovative structural solutions that would become the symbol of his organic style, and that would culminate in the creation of the Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family (Catalan: Sagrada Família).

La Rambla
La Rambla (Catalan pronunciation: [lə ˈramblə]) is considered the most well known street in central Barcelona. A tree-lined pedestrian street, it stretches for 1.2 kilometres (3⁄4 mile) connecting the Plaça de Catalunya in its center with the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell. La Rambla forms the boundary between the neighbourhoods of the Barri Gòtic to the east and the El Raval to the west.

Casa Batlló
Covered in shards of stained glass, the façade given a restorative make-over in 2019—sometimes seems blue, sometimes green, then shimmering like the glassy layer of a lake—makes Casa Batlló easily comparable to Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. Casa Batlló (pronounced “Casa Bat-yo”) appears strange even in a city bursting with magnificent architecture. After witnessing what Gaudí had done with Park Güell, textile businessman Josep Batlló commissioned him to construct this house style that none of Batlló’s other family members would have chosen and which also honored Catalonia’s patron saint.

Palace of Catalan Music
Palau de la Música Catalana (Catalan pronunciation: [pəˈlaw ðə lə ˈmuzikə kətəˈlanə], English: Palace of Catalan Music) is a concert hall in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed in the Catalan modernista style by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, it was built between 1905 and 1908 for Orfeó Català, a choral society founded in 1891 that was a leading force in the Catalan cultural movement that came to be known as the Renaixença (Catalan Rebirth). It was inaugurated on 9 February 1908.

Casa Milà – La Pedrera
Casa Mila, popularly known as La Pedrera, is a most unusual building, constructed between 1906 and 1912 by the architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926) and declared UNESCO World Heritage in 1984. Today it is the headquarters of Fundacio Catalunya La Pedrera and houses a cultural centre that is a reference point in Barcelona for the range of activities it organises and the different spaces for exhibitions and other public uses it contains. A visit to La Pedrera, landmark building and container, gives us a better understanding and appreciation of architecture and transports us to the period when Antoni Gaudi lived.

Tips for Job Seekers: The Myth of the Cover Letter

How many impressive cover letters do you think you have written? And, if you’re a recruiter, how many have actually impressed you?
I’m betting the answer is none.

I write cover letters virtually every day, but I am sure none of them is dazzling.

I am committed to crafting the perfect cover letter.

Until I am done, I always give as example Eudora Welty’s cover letter for The New Yorker.

It is the best one ever written, that is why I introduce it at my Creative Writing Course under the heading “How To Pitch Yourself”.

AI Art: What are your fears about AI?

#AI

Right now, AI art isn’t very interesting. It’s cool that computer tools can turn any word into a picture, on the one hand. On the other hand, these pictures are used so often that they’ve become a new kind of digital trash that people see on social media and other websites but doesn’t give them anything in return.

I agree that “Two years into the generative-AI boom, these programs’ creations seem more technically advanced… but they are stuck with a distinct aesthetic.” These models by default usually produce images with rich, brilliant colors, attractive individuals who resemble practically cartoon figures, and dramatic lighting.

They all have clear signs of AI art that have become popular in recent years thanks to Midjourney and DALL-E.

Although I am not particularly interested in AI art, I have been utilizing various platforms. With my AI pictures, I want to show distinctiveness from human art and photos. I am intrigued by the way the AI interprets my words. I believe the AI is interpreting my words as if they originate from another planet. This is what I like the most. However, to obtain the light and colors associated with Mars, I must use the appropriate prompts.

I have been using my own words to recreate images. I am content with the results in the gallery below.

Tips For Job Seekers: Too good to be true

I occasionally apply for jobs to gain valuable insights for my students, assist them in their pursuit of better positions, or expand my knowledge in a specific field. By nature, I am very curious, and I consider that information is everything in this day and age.

As a result, I applied for the position of (freelance) AI tutor, citing my fascination with the AI field.
The position entails training the AI to give more accurate responses, writing, and researching. I was instantly charmed. Also, I need all the information I can get for my AI training class (Mastering AI for Corporate Employees).

In addition, the AI tutor position entails correcting the AI responses and preventing hallucinatory behavior, which is a dream task for me. But, …

A week after submitting my application, I received an invitation to take a grammar test, a research ability test, and an AI query. Hmmmm. 
For someone who has been teaching English-speaking skills for a considerable amount of time, has developed custom syllabuses about English grammar, and regularly practices every aspect of the language, the prospect of a grammar test seems somewhat unrealistic. The recruitment process in bulk raised the first red flag.

In my humble opinion, the role of an AI tutor is highly specialized, requiring a highly descriptive skill set specific to professionals. The grammar test felt very odd. Moreover, companies that require longer tests frequently use the free work of applications for their own purposes. 

The second red flag was the extremely low pay for a highly creative freelance job. 
This piqued my curiosity, prompting me to conduct a thorough investigation into the company. I discovered that the most commonly associated keyword with this company was “scam.” I guess I passed the research skills test. 

I did my research, and, guess what? On Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit there are a lot of negative comments. I might say that the majority are negative comments concerning the lack of feedback from the company, the meager pay which is even lower in practice, the lack of available tasks.

Some commenters state that they have been working for the company, but the pay is much more inappropriate for their work and skills. They also claim that they were asked to take a test, failed it, and were then given very low-paying tasks to complete.

Lesson learned: Conduct considerable research on the company in question, even if it seems to be a dream position for you. It will save you a significant amount of time and positive thinking resources.
