Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a revolutionary tool that can be used to maximize the job search process. This webinar takes an in-depth look and shows the ways AI may assist with the exploration of a career field, craft a resume, develop interview questions, and so much more.

In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into:

  • Prompt Engineering Basics – Learn how to craft clear, structured prompts that guide AI tools (like ChatGPT) to generate relevant and actionable job search content.
  • Refining & Expanding Prompts – Discover how to tweak and improve your inputs to uncover deeper insights, more tailored results, and richer support throughout your job search.
  • Interactive Engagement – This is not just a lecture! You’ll have the opportunity to:
    • Share your own experiences using AI in your job search
    • Ask questions in real-time
    • See live demonstrations of prompts in action

From career exploration and resume writing to interview prep and networking strategies, this webinar will equip you with the tools to make AI work for you.
