AI Made Simple:
Leverage Technology to Land Your Outdoor Dream Job
A 90-minute virtual workshop with Jess Vandenbush
AI is changing the world of work. The question isn't whether to use it, but how to use it well.
Maybe you've experimented with ChatGPT a few times. Maybe you've watched everyone else talk about AI while quietly wondering if you're already behind. Or maybe you've tried using it, only to end up with something that sounded polished...but nothing like you.
The truth is, AI isn't most powerful when it writes for you. It's most powerful when it helps you think.
In this interactive workshop, you'll learn how to use AI as a career partner, one that helps you get clearer on who you are, uncover the strengths you might be overlooking, and build momentum toward your next opportunity. Whether you're exploring a career change, actively job searching, or simply trying to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world, you'll leave with practical tools you can start using immediately.
No technical background required. No coding. No AI agents. Just practical, real-world ways to use AI to become a more confident, capable, and intentional professional.
You'll Leave With
A practical framework for using AI as a thinking partner, not a shortcut.
Greater clarity about your strengths, values, and career direction.
Practical prompts you can immediately apply to your resume, LinkedIn, networking, company research, and interview preparation.
At least one tangible output you'll create during the workshop.
The confidence to use AI in a way that amplifies your voice instead of replacing it.
All registrants will receive a recording of the workshop along with any resources, prompts, and materials shared during the session.
