What we’re about
Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of Silicon Valley - the innovation capital of the world.
The advent of the Digital Age has democratized innovation and entrepreneurship.
Never before has it been more possible for anyone from anywhere, with a great idea and a burning desire to succeed, to make it big, and in the process, change the world in a relatively short period of time.
HP, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, Google, Facebook and many, many, many other iconic companies all started with just an idea. Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions in Silicon Valley and beyond. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing".
We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, engineers, venture capitalists, angel investors, educators, financial professionals, corporate executives, attorneys, academics, bloggers, writers, content creators, and social activists.
Our mission is to provide entrepreneurs with the knowledge, guidance, tools, and connections they need to succeed. Our goal is to build a strong, vibrant, collaborative entrepreneurial community with deep, lasting business and social relationships from Silicon Valley to Santiago and beyond.

“Tell me about yourself” isn’t just an interview opener — it’s the most important question in your entire job search. Your answer determines whether people lean in… or tune out.
In this practical and energizing webinar, Albert Qian (Founder of Albert’s List, one of the largest job-seekers communities in the U.S.) teams up with Callings.ai to teach you how to craft a personal narrative that resonates everywhere: in networking, interviews, outreach messages, social posts, and even your resume.
You’ll learn the FIT Model — a surprisingly simple and powerful way to introduce yourself with Focus, Impact, and Trajectory — and use it to tell a memorable story that opens doors.
## What You’ll Learn
Attendees will learn how to:
- Properly introduce themselves with maximum impact — whether in interviews, networking events, or online
- Apply your “Tell me about yourself” story across all your career assets (LinkedIn, resume summary, networking outreach, interview answers, etc.)
- Use AI to generate custom outreach templates that help you connect with hiring managers, alumni, and warm contacts
- Identify the right — not just any — events to attend, so you meet the people who actually move your job hunt forward
- Build a cohesive narrative that ties together your skills, goals, and value
- …and much more!
This session will include live examples, story rewrites, and practical steps you can take immediately after the workshop.
## Who Should Attend
- Job seekers who struggle with self-intros
- Career changers who need a clear, cohesive story
- Professionals who want to make stronger networking impressions
- Anyone preparing for interviews, informational chats, or outreach sequences

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.
