The job search has fundamentally changed. Hundreds of applications into the void, ghosted by ATS systems, and AI tools that can either get you filtered to the top—or thrown out entirely.

Meanwhile, people are getting hired. What do they know that you don't?

Join us for an interactive panel and live demo exploring how to use AI strategically in your job search: from building a personal career navigator in NotebookLM, to tools like Google Career Dreamer, to protecting yourself from the pitfalls of copy-paste AI responses that get you blacklisted.

Whether you've never touched AI or you're looking to sharpen your approach, you'll walk away with practical tools and a clearer understanding of what actually works in today's hiring landscape.

Panelists:

Tony Verde- inspHIRE Talent Solutions

Al Smith- The HIRED Group, LLC

Robby Gulri- RapidScale

Moderated by:

Reina Lingle - Social Matters Management

What you will learn:

The "Black Box" Reality – Why spray-and-pray applications fail, and how AI cuts both ways (can elevate you or get you filtered out)
Practical AI Tools – Google Career Dreamer, NotebookLM as a personal career navigator (with 13+ book summaries), LinkedIn Career Explorer
AI Safety for Job Seekers – Protecting PII, avoiding copy-paste disasters, maintaining your authentic voice
Online Visibility as Differentiator – Content creation and LinkedIn presence as a way to bypass the noise
Alternative Work Platforms – Fractional work through Upwork, Ripple, and why you need an MSA for Fortune 500 access
Networking > Applications – "No one's coming to your house to hire you"

As always, food and drink, engaging conversation, and incredible company will all be provided.
