2026 is now in full swing and the job market has been a mixed bag. Returning inflation, AI-based layoffs, global uncertainty, and declining consumer confidence—amid sky-high demand for AI-centric roles—are dominating the job market. As we get into the second half, where do things stand?
We'll discuss:

• Our predictions for 2026 and how they look so far
• Which industries are hot and which are not
• Where AI is affecting the job search, and where they aren't
• Tactics that still matter in an uncertain market
• Upcoming Albert's List events you can attend to help your job search
• And much more!

Whether you are employed and looking for a new role, or out of work and looking, this webinar will have resources and ideas you can use to create a meaningful job hunt for the rest of the year.

AI skills are no longer optional—but learning them doesn’t require a technical background or months of tutorials.
In this live session, Albert of Albert’s List shows how professionals are using vibe coding to build real AI projects, build agents, and be more efficient.
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
• What agents actually are—and why you should build them at work.
• How to go from idea → concept in mere minutes or days.
• 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
