Job hunting is a job in itself: applications, deadlines, interviews, follow-ups. What if you could build your own AI-powered system to help you manage it?
In this hands-on class with our Innovator-in-Residence, Ryan Kelln, you'll explore a job-hunting dashboard built with AI: how it tracks applications, sets automatic alerts for postings that match you, and practices interviews with you through role-play. You'll leave with the templates to build your own. We'll also talk about how employers screen applications, and how it can make things unfair. Come explore a tool that works for you, not the other way around.
Prerequisites: Mouse, keyboarding and internet skills. Computers are provided. No coding experience required. If you wish to save your work from this hands-on program, please bring your own USB stick.
Registration is required and will start September 9, 2026 at 9:00 AM.
Note: Your spot will not be guaranteed after 5 minutes of the start of the program. After this time, remaining seats will be filled on a first come, first serve basis until capacity is reached.
