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.

This isn’t about quick answers from AI. It’s about using ChatGPT as a thinking partner to help you take control and move forward confidently.

### 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.
- Improve your interviewing, including creating interview answers and as a mock interviewer.
- Build your personal brand in your voice.
- And much more!
### What you’ll walk away with:
- A repeatable system for job searching in 2025
- Custom ChatGPT prompts you can use immediately to: Organize your thoughts into a clear strategy, create compelling, tailored content for every stage of the process, prepare with confidence for networking and interviews
Finally, this session will be recorded. If you sign up and cannot make it, a recording will be sent to you.
