How can you leverage AI to help you choose, prepare for, and land your next great job? A lot of you are planning or in the thick of the job search right now, and with the ever-increasing AI involvement in company hiring practices, the landscape looks a lot different than even a few years ago. This conversation with Marlo Lyons, a career coach, author, and HR pro with 20 years of experience, is here to help you navigate these choppy, rapidly changing waters. 

Marlo and I discuss what’s changed (AI interviewers) and what hasn’t (building real connections is still vital). She shares her expert advice on how AI programs can help you not only prepare for applications and interviews, but also uncover a new career that really aligns with your values. The robots can’t do everything for us, but they definitely belong in your toolbox.
