How Technology Can and Can’t Advance Your Job Search

Join the founders of Prepare to Launch U as they explain what technical tools you may encounter during your career relaunch, pivot, or general job search, and why and how companies use them. Kelley and Susan will also dive into what tech tools can help you during your job search, and how they can help or hinder you in the key phases of your job search (resumé writing, networking, applying, interviewing, and negotiating). They’ll discuss the specific role of AI and the popular ChatGPT in job-searching and – perhaps most importantly – when to use tech tools and when to stick with the tried and true “low-tech” approach to finding and landing the job you want.
