    The job market has never been more uncertain. Layoffs, reorganizations, and a looming recession mean you can no longer rely solely on traditional employment for your livelihood. Moreover, artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived and threatens many traditional roles, including marketing, finance/accounting, law, operations, HR, and recruiting.

    It's long been known in entrepreneurial circles that having your own business is the path to freedom from economic uncertainty. While the arrival of the internet birthed many new ventures, the arrival of AI has created new freedom, allowing you to start your own business in as little as a weekend.

    If you're looking to start a new side hustle and want to set the foundation to breaking out on your own, this webinar can help you understand how combining your expertise with traditional business approaches and infusing AI can get you to revenue faster than ever, all with lower operating costs.

    You'll learn:

    1. Why Side Hustles are the Key to Future-Proofing Your Career: Gain valuable entrepreneurial skills while hedging against economic uncertainty.
    2. How AI Provides the Launchpad for Your Business: See how AI tools can accelerate everything from branding and marketing to automation and networking.
    3. The Quickest Path from Expertise to Revenue: Leverage what you already know to provide valuable services and products in demand.
    4. Real-World Examples of Expertise-Driven Businesses: Get inspired by success stories across industries.
    5. And much, much more!

    Reinvent your career, build real leverage, and create 2026 opportunities starting now.

    2026 will belong to the professionals and founders who understand how to operate in an AI-native world and not just use AI tools. In this fast-paced, highly actionable session, you’ll learn the strategic frameworks, mental models, and practical steps needed to build long-term leverage in your career or entrepreneurial journey.

    This masterclass is led by two operators who’ve built global cloud, security, and AI platforms, led engineering organizations of 900+, hold 20+ patents, shipped enterprise-grade products, secured regulated industries, and delivered $1B+ in transformations across Fortune 500 clients.

    Whether you’re job seeking, leveling up, launching something new, or exploring your next chapter, you’ll walk away with clarity on where your unique strengths intersect with the AI era — and how to turn that insight into opportunity.

    OVERVIEW

    AI is rewriting the rules of value creation. Tools change. Models evolve. But what doesn’t change? The advantage held by people who understand how to think, operate, build, and lead in an AI-native way.

    This webinar shows you how to:

    Identify your unfair advantage

    Map it to AI-native opportunities

    Build a long-term, market-proof path forward in your career or in a future company

    Expect a rare mix of enterprise-grade insight, emerging founder tactics, and highly practical guidance, distilled to what matters most for 2026. By the end of the session, you’ll know exactly what to do next, whether that’s leveling up in your job, reinventing your career path, or building something real.

    WHAT YOU LEARN:

    The AI-Native Advantage Framework: How elite operators think about AI (very different from ‘enthusiasts’ and side-hustles)

    Your “Career Moat”: How to build long-term defensibility in a world where AI automates everything easily.

    The 5 AI-Native Paths to career security, income expansion, or entrepreneurship (only 1 involves building a weekend project)

    Why your domain knowledge is a gold mine, and how to translate it into AI-native value that most people can’t replicate

    Real examples from cloud, cybersecurity, product, marketing, operations, compliance, consulting, and more

    The exact difference between “using AI tools” vs operating like an AI-native founder or executive

    A live exercise: Design your AI-Native Advantage Map (you’ll walk away with yours)

    What AI still cannot do, and the human skills that will matter more than ever

    The fastest path to becoming AI-native in your career, even if you’re not technical

    WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH:

    A personalized AI-Native Advantage Map (completed live)

    2–3 high-clarity directions for career reinvention or business creation

    A strategic understanding of how AI reshapes value (far beyond the “use ChatGPT to write emails” level)

    The confidence and vocabulary to talk about AI intelligently in interviews, consulting pitches, and conversations with executives

    A preview of January's 6-week program (for those serious about building something real)

    AI won’t take your job — but someone using it strategically will. Join us on December 12th and learn the playbook operators use to stay invaluable, earn more, and build things that last.

    Seats will fill fast. Join us and invite someone who needs a real advantage in 2026.

    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 2026
    • 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

    ATTENTION JOB SEEKERS: The Job Market Is projected to continue cooling in Q1 and Q2, and your career can’t afford guesswork.

    This economy is rewarding the strategic and punishing the hopeful

    That’s why Albert’s List has created HIRED! The 6 Week Roadmap To Your Next Job in 2026.

    This is definitely not another feel-good bootcamp or “brush up your résumé and cross your fingers” pep talk

    We have been in the trenches helping Bay Area job seekers find the advantage they need in the most competitive job markets in the world

    And HIRED! Is the battle-tested, six-week, reality-grounded pathway that has helped thousands of job seekers cut through the noise, sharpen their message, and finally get traction again — even when the market is shaky and competitive as hell



    If You Don’t Have a Proven Strategy, You’re Relying on Luck, And Luck Won’t Pay your Rent.

    Here’s the uncomfortable truth most career coaches refuse to say out loud:

    You can’t out-apply the economy

    You can’t “manifest” a recruiter response

    You can’t spray résumés and pray for interviews

    Every job seeker today faces three invisible walls:

    The Attention Wall:
    Hiring managers drown in qualified applicants, so If you can’t stand out in 6 seconds, you’re done

    The Momentum Wall:
    A scattered, unfocused search burns time you don’t have

    Weeks turn into months. Confidence turns into anxiety

    The Relevance Wall:
    Skills alone don’t matter

    Perceived value does

    If your story, positioning, and outreach aren’t sharpened for today’s market, you get passed over, even if you’re objectively better

    Albert’s List built the Boot Camp to destroy those walls

    Because the market may be unpredictable…
    but your strategy shouldn’t be

    Here’s what we’ll cover in this Bootcamp:

    Week 1: Beat the System, Not the Odds

    You’ll learn how recruiters really filter candidates — and how to stop getting silently screened out. This is the week you finally flip the hiring process back in your favor.



    Week 2: Build a Résumé They Can’t Ignore

    Create job-landing materials that cut through the noise and get interviews fast. No more guessing. No more getting lost in the pile. Just messaging that makes you the obvious choice.



    Week 3: Turn LinkedIn Into Opportunity Mode

    You’ll go from invisible to in-demand with a profile that works for you, messages that get replies, and connections that turn into real leads and real offers.



    Week 4: Replace Chaos With a Plan

    Stop spinning your wheels. You’ll build a targeted, smart search strategy that eliminates wasted effort and restores momentum so you can move toward the right roles, not just any roles.



    Week 5: Interview Like Someone Who Gets Hired

    Learn how to tell your story with confidence, avoid deal-killing mistakes, and take control of the conversation so hiring teams walk away remembering you.



    Week 6: Turn Offers Into Better Offers

    Master reading the room and negotiating with clarity. Our students consistently earn $500–$10,000 more because they finally know what to say, when to push, and how to close without fear.



    Optional Week 7: The Advanced Advantage

    A deeper dive into company signals, late-stage positioning, and negotiation strategy — so you don’t just get an offer, you get the best version of it.
