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.

AI skills are no longer optional—but learning them doesn’t require a technical background or months of tutorials.

In this live session, Albert’s List teams up with Scott Simson, founder of AI Marketing World, to show how professionals are using vibe coding to build real AI projects, develop in-demand skills, and ship usable MVPs—fast.
This is a practical, beginner-friendly walkthrough, not a theory talk.

### What You’ll Learn

• The top AI tools to focus on in 2026 (and which ones to ignore)
• What “vibe coding” actually means—and why it works for non-technical builders
• How to identify high-leverage software niches where simple AI products win
• How to build AI workflows and apps with zero prior coding experience
• How to go from idea → prototype → MVP in days, not months
• What to do after you build: validation, iteration, and next steps
• How these skills translate into career leverage, consulting, or side projects

### Who This Event Is For

• Job seekers looking to future-proof their skills
• Marketers, operators, and product-adjacent professionals
• Non-technical builders who want to ship real AI projects
• Anyone curious about AI but overwhelmed by the technical barrier
