The Strategic Job Search: Positioning, Networking, and Interview Success in the Age of AI – Part II

This course helps participants actively explore career opportunities and tailor their job search strategy to their individual goals and desired positions in the age of artificial intelligence.

Details

As the second part of the training series “Stand Out with Confidence – A Practical Guide to Job Applications,” this module focuses on going beyond traditional application processes and proactively positioning yourself for desired career opportunities.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of the evolving job market, particularly the key differences between simply applying for jobs and strategically building visibility and relevance within their target industry. The course will also explore the growing role of AI in the recruitment and selection process and demonstrate how it can be used effectively to optimize and enhance application processes.

The program combines practical insights, interactive exercises, and real-world case studies, so that participants not only gain theoretical knowledge but can also apply it directly to their own job search.

What you can expect and what you will learn:

  • Understand what strategic networking entails and how it can be tailored to individual career goals
  • Identify and tap into the hidden job market, and position yourself strategically within it
  • Developing an effective interview preparation strategy, including the role and impact of AI in modern recruiting
  • Strengthen your negotiation skills and use them strategically to successfully secure better job offers and terms

For participants who would like more personalized support, there is an option to book a follow-up one-on-one coaching session with Zsofia. These sessions are tailored to your specific situation and provide an opportunity to focus on individual questions, challenges, or application materials.
