When it comes to job searching in modern times, it can feel like you’re doing everything “right” and still going nowhere. That kind of effort without results isn’t sustainable. And it’s certainly not getting you any closer to where you want to be. The facts are: the job market and hiring process are shifting directly beneath our feet, and it may feel like you’re being left behind.But here’s the good news: You’re not the problem. We’re here to show you how you can learn the new rules and master them! Once you understand how hiring actually works in 2026, you can stop guessing, stop spiraling, and start building a job search strategy that gets you results. Join Tauri from Skillcrush for a practical, compassionate session on navigating today’s job market with confidence. We’ll talk about what’s changed, what hasn’t, and how to let employers know that you are the employee they are looking for. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Find your “candidate market fit” by identifying roles that actually match your strengths, experience, and interests
  • Showcase your unique story in a way that highlights your personality, values, and professional journey — beyond what AI can mimic
  • Build a human-powered job search strategy, using community, networking, and peer support (even if networking gives you “the ick”)
  • Leverage LinkedIn and your online presence so recruiters can find you based on the right keywords
  • Network strategically and authentically, including what to say, how to follow up, and how to stay visible
  • Stay competitive in the 2026 tech landscape, with insights into the newest hiring trends featuring AI based skills
  • Keep your momentum up, avoid burnout, and create a job search rhythm that works with real life
