Most people take weeks or even months to organize their job search. In the AI era, the market moves so fast that by the time you’ve figured out your plan, everything has changed—and you’re stuck pivoting again. The result? Job seekers are always chasing the market instead of leading it.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

AI isn’t just for recruiters and hiring managers—it’s for you too. If you’re stuck figuring out where to start, how to build a strategy, or just want to get back into the market faster, this one-hour webinar is your solution.
Using ChatGPT, you’ll learn how to plan, organize, and execute your job search with clarity and speed—without the burnout—with a real resume and LinkedIn profile from a peer.

### We'll cover how you can use ChatGPT to:
- Serve as your personalized career advisor with your existing resume and LinkedIn profile.
- Act as an accountability partner for your job search, including with daily tasks.
- Edit your resume and LinkedIn so it can be more visible, including tailored for individual job listings.
- Identify where you need more experience or education so you can become a better candidate.
- Develop a company application strategy, including reading the trends and seeing what's hot and what's not.

It's a tough market for software engineers right now, with fewer open roles. Hiring managers have their pick of candidates, and standing out is harder than ever. Companies are also taking the industry in a different direction, choosing to use artificial intelligence or hire abroad since both are cheaper. Educational attainment also matters, with bootcamp graduates most sidelined as hiring managers view curriculums as incomplete and generic.

Despite the doom and gloom, those with the right strategies can still find opportunities in an uncertain market including the usage of AI. Join software engineer and career coach Phong Lam for an educational session where he'll share how he landed his latest job in August 2025 in just 3 weeks with the help of AI, despite being a bootcamp graduate.

You will learn:
- Why the software engineering market has become so uncertain.
- Where the opportunities lie in software engineering today.
- How software engineers can master the interview process, including identifying the patterns in questions, versus doing hours of leetcode, overcome the ambiguity of. interviews, and prepare.
- What software engineering candidates can do to stand out, including building their personal brand, position their experience, or look for new roles.
- What bootcamp graduates can do to go beyond what they've learned in their programs and become hireable software engineers.
- How software engineers can use AI in their job search to get opportunities faster.
- And much more!
Come with your questions and scenarios!

Phong Lam is a senior software engineer currently working in the blockchain industry with past stops at Doordash, Walmart, and IBM. In addition to his career, he also mentors junior and senior level engineers, guiding them on how to solve algorithmic problems, understand web frameworks, and navigate interviews.
