About this event

Startups aren’t just for founders—they hire for real roles across customer support, operations, sales, marketing, and tech. This 90-minute session breaks down what a startup is, how it differs from traditional employers, and why working at one can accelerate your career through faster responsibility, real-world skill building, and measurable impact.

You’ll also learn how to build job-search advantage with practical AI skills: using AI tools to tailor resumes and outreach messages, prepare for interviews, and create portfolio-ready work samples—while verifying accuracy and avoiding common mistakes. The focus is on turning AI into a repeatable job-search workflow that helps you apply smarter, communicate more clearly, and stand out with proof of what you can do.

We are collaborating with the Visionary Philanthropy Group and holding this event at their location, not our regular venue.
