[D] What to do with an ML PhD

Hi Folks,

Feeling completely lost so thought about turning here for some suggestions.

I am 5th year PhD student in a US university and looking to graduate in the next 8 months. Currently I have not been to an internship and my publication record is not stellar.
What skills can I learn and which roles in the industry can I pitch myself for and not loose out due to the lack of a stellar publication record?

Thanks!
