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

Finally, this session will be recorded. If you sign up and cannot make it, a recording will be sent to you.

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!

What happens when a tech leader and lifelong military history enthusiast “stumbles into” TikTok—and discovers an underserved audience hungry for museum and battlefield storytelling?

In this talk, Heemeng (Chris) Foo shares the lessons learned from growing a brand-new TikTok channel from 0 to 1,000 followers in 24 days—including the surprising breakthrough of an “unlikely” viral video, what failed when he tried to force formulas, and why authenticity and community-building beat chasing vanity metrics. You’ll learn:

• How he used TikTok as a rapid testing platform
• How early audience insights shaped the content direction
• How short clips can become the top of a funnel that drives deeper engagement on YouTube.

The session ends with a simple toolkit and routine you can copy immediately—so you can start posting consistently, learning faster, and building a real community around what you love.
