MOOC I : Personal Branding – Anıl Esen

What I learnt from this MOOC is, personal branding is the practice of promoting oneself and one’s career as a brand. This can involve highlighting one’s unique skills and experiences, as well as creating a strong and consistent online presence through platforms such as social media and professional networking sites. Personal branding can be beneficial because it can help individuals stand out in a crowded job market and gain recognition for their expertise in a particular field.

It can also help them build a positive reputation, which can open up opportunities for career advancement and personal growth. Ultimately, personal branding is a valuable tool for individuals to effectively market themselves and their careers.

Anıl’s Personal Reflection- AI & Future Jobs

As a trainee for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the tech. workforce, I believe that it has the potential to significantly change the job market in the future. In my opinion, the widespread adoption of AI will lead to a reduction in the number of jobs available in many industries, as machines and algorithms will be able to perform many tasks more efficiently than human workers.

This shift will undoubtedly have a major impact on the workforce, and could lead to a gap between occupational groups with low and high income levels. In particular, jobs that require relatively low levels of education and training are likely to be most at risk of being replaced by AI, as these tasks can often be automated relatively easily.

On the other hand, jobs that require advanced skills and expertise are less likely to be replaced by AI in the short term, and may even become more valuable as the demand for these kinds of workers increases. As a result, it’s likely that there will be a growing divide between high-skilled and low-skilled workers in the future job market. In my view, it’s important for society to address this potential gap and find ways to ensure that everyone has access to good quality jobs, regardless of their education or skill level. One way to do this might be to invest in education and training programs that can help people develop the skills that are most in demand in the AI-driven job market of the future.

Overall, while the adoption of AI in the workforce is likely to have many benefits, it’s important to recognize the potential challenges that it may bring, and to take steps to mitigate them. By working together and investing in the right solutions, we can ensure that the future of work is one that is inclusive and fair for all.

Anıl Esen

Hey reader, welcome to blog of Anıl Esen. I am a mineral processing engineer, and now in the second year of master’s program on Circular Economy : Minerals and Construction Products. Last year, our courses on LCA and entrepreneurship broadened my horizons and revealed my potential (No, I won’t remember organic chemistry especially the HOMO-LUMO parts.) Not only the courses, but also the difficulties I haven’t faced before, in retrospect, changed how I view myself and life. For example now, I know that I won’t ever live in a 9 sqm room again (except a jail in parallel universe, god save us).

Goncharov : a good starting point for avid reading

I like questions more than answers, thus I love philosophy with it’s all types. If you are interested in philosophy or reading in general, but are unsure where to begin among the innumerable books available, I recommend that you begin with Russian literature to guide you, as it did for me.

I also like to read different kinds of books on psychology, literature, investing, and science of course. I am a fan of blues and different varieties of rock music like classic, psychedelic or stoner rock. Waking up early to go to gym is the routine which I adapted, so I probably won’t go to F*cking Monday (a nightclub in Madrid) on Monday nights 🙂 (Linda ummh sorry)


3D Concrete Printing, now and in the future

You’ll probably remember Anıl in the future as the “3D printing guy” who is passionate about robotics, AI, and 3d printing in construction sector. I regularly read on these topics and follow the updates around the world. Me and my dear colleague Gigi (a.k.a. L.A.P.) thus have a startup project on 3DCP which has a high potential of rising as a unicorn if we keep working on it. Please let me know if we share similar interests, and don’t forget to connect on LinkedIn!

Best of you, memento mori.
