About this role
We are seeking experienced staff reporters, editors, trade-publication writers, freelance journalists, and newsletter writers to provide expert insight as part of a project for the LinkedIn AI Trainer Program. No preparation required - just your real-world experience.
This is not a full-time employment position - you will be engaged as an expert project consultant on a contract basis.
Location: U.S.-based experts only
Engagement: Part-time, project-based expert work
Work Type: Remote
Estimated rate: $105/hr (prorated per 40-minute interview)
What You'll Do
You will complete tasks in the form of ~40-minute, recorded, AI-led video interviews, in which you walk through your professional workflows and decision-making.
This project will focus on how you handle the day-to-day workflows below. If selected, you may be invited to one or more of them:
- How you monitor your regular sources for story leads and decide which to pursue
- How you keep up with developments on your beat and decide which ones are worth covering
You should only apply if you can confidently walk through one or more of these areas step-by-step, drawing on your own experience, and respond to AI-led interview questions with depth, clarity, and real-world examples.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in reporting or editing on business, technology, or industry topics for a U.S. outlet, trade publication, or newsletter, or as a freelancer
- Direct, hands-on experience in one or more of: monitoring sources for story leads, or keeping up with developments on your beat, including making the related decisions
- Strong ability to clearly explain workflows, decisions, and reasoning
About the Interview
The interviews are designed to elicit step-by-step explanations of real workflows and decision-making processes, with an emphasis on detailed, experience-based responses rather than high-level summaries.
This is a project-based engagement. Selected participants will be paid for completing recorded AI-led video interviews; hourly rates are estimates based upon anticipated time of completion. Participants will control their own schedule, provide their own tools to complete the interviews, and may participate in other opportunities as they choose.
Once you complete an interview, we'll send your video recording and transcript, along with AI-generated insights, to the internal research team and AI lab partner. This data will be used to generate a structured list of tasks associated with your profession and for AI model improvement.
