How to get a job as an AI Automation Engineer:
AI automation is one of those fields where it's actually easier to get a job through non-traditional paths
companies need people who can wire AI into their existing tools, automate workflows, and save them 40+ hours a week
they don't care where you learned it
so, here's my workflow for getting a job as an AI Automation Engineer:
1: Build your personal brand on X
this should be your main platform
follow AI startup founders, reply to them, post your workflows, show your thinking and value
gonna to present next weeks how I'm doing it here
2: Build presence on LinkedIn or GitHub
these are more traditional platforms
but if you build your own automation system and it gets traction on GitHub, that's already way stronger than "work experience at a company"
basically potential client checks out firstly your Github to get verification that you're good at your deal
release open-source automation workflows to get the reputation
3: Share knowledge in communities
n8n community, LangChain Discord, OpenAI forums, Claude community
this is where real people hang out and opportunities appear
cheat codes to stand out and get into the top 1%:
1: Build in public
- show what you're building and how
- CVs are outdated, people hire those who can build fast, ship real automations, and solve actual business problems
2. Learn to build with AI agents, not just drag-and-drop
- one person with Claude Code can ship what used to take a 3-person dev team
- the no-code ceiling hits fast.. agents don't have one
3. Do free audits before calls
- before jumping on a call with a potential client, map out their broken workflows
- show what you'd fix and how (this can also be turned into content on X)
4. Specialize narrowly
- don't just be "AI automation engineer"
- pick a niche: real estate, e-commerce, recruiting, legal
- this makes you 10x easier to position and hire
5. Show measurable results
- metrics matter (money especially)
- "saved 40 hours/week" and "$12K/mo in reduced headcount" is what gets you hired
- not "built a cool n8n workflow"
main insight:
this is a new profession, traditional "work experience" doesn't matter as much
what matters is real skill, real projects, and proof you can ship
forget chasing FAANG interviews
right now you have a much better opportunity:
- build in public
- grow your brand
- become visible
- start earning within months, not years
one more thing: everything in this field moves insanely fast
what's relevant today may be outdated in a year
so "experience" doesn't matter
your real skill is adaptability + learning fast + constant practice

Anthropic just showed a 24-minute workshop on how to actually prompt Claude.
Taught by the people who built it.
Free. No signup. No paywall.
I've watched $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.
Stop telling Claude, "do this."
Stop telling Claude, "write code."
Stop telling Claude, "fix this error."
You're actually treating a senior AI like a junior intern.
Here are 8 prompts you can copy and paste directly:
@ism_sol 1. Put MD notes that never cross the repo
2. Do not put your .env at your repo basically you .gitignore them
3. Always ask first before action
4. Know your project, usage limit of claude will be efficient
Stop ganti iPhone kalo batre-nya udah ngedrop.
Gue kira iPhone gue udah waktunya ganti karena batrenya ngedrop. Ternyata bukan.
Apple emang sengaja set default yang bikin baterai boros.
Setelah gue utak-atik sendiri, baterai gue dari 6 jam jadi tahan 10 jam. Tanpa ganti baterai baru.
Gini caranya:

No degree. No camera. No editing skills.
Even a 15-year-old can do this.
I'm going to show you exactly how.

Sangkuter emas tahun 2011 perlu 9 tahun buat balik modal, setelah terkoreksi dulu 45%.
Sangkuter emas tahun 1980 perlu 28 tahun buat balik modal, setelah terkoreksi dulu 70%.
Semoga $5.608/oz atau Rp3.168.000/gram kemarin bukan titik ATHnya 😬
