The power of AI in sales and cybersecurity

Do you need to go to school to land a tech job

How it is like to work in Cisco and Salesforce

How can I get noticed by these tech firms?

Generative AI: do I have to worry about you?

Find out what Artificial Intelligence can do to the car salesman and cybercop.

Synopsis: Every first Monday of the month, the Work Talk podcast helps you work smarter, think deeper and get ahead in your work life.

In this episode, host Krist Boo and her guests aim to "de-geekify" Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on jobs, including those in the tech sector. 

First, the hottest thing: How is generative AI like ChatGPT affecting tech jobs and beyond?

Are there still jobs in the tech sector? How can I get into a tech firm without a technological background? What must I do to stand out?

What do these two tech multinationals, Cisco and Salesforce, offer? 

Her guests are Mr Gavin Barfield, Salesforce's regional chief technology officer for solutions, Mr Koo Juan Huat, Cisco's regional cybersecurity leader, and Mr Davidson Chua, a second-year computing student.

It's just three techies making simple tech and job talk.
