Managing Your IT Career v16 – (Why do recruiters suck so bad?)

Oof. I get it. You are thinking about the grind of an uncertain economy on your tech career.

Truth: I thought about not doing this, but at the Minnestar Happy Hour in March, a number of people from the community said that while I may not have good news or a bunch of answers, the insight is needed. That having an update on what is going on is needed.

Specifically I was asked a number of times to talk about how AI is impacting networking, a job search, and how talent acqusition teams are using it.

OK, I'm in. Let's do this for a 16th year.

I do have some insights and advice to give, along with some crystal ball predictions that, while I can't say when, will likely come true.

I promise you this: you'll feel more certain/aware about things after we finish.

I'll start by talking about:

• The current state of MN, Midwest jobs and hiring trends
• What employers in town are saying, doing, and planning for jobs this year
• How I am thinking about the economy the next 6 to 12 months
• AI impact on networking and job search
• For those planning a job search this year, I'll have info to get you started
• We'll talk about LinkedIn profile makeovers and content to post

NOTE: this year I will have a slide deck as some of the content will be a "how to" and "do this". Yes, I will share it.

Please bring your questions, thoughts, and opinions.
