​🧠 TLDR: Join us for a 1.5-hour AI-assisted job search + networking workshop. We’ll break down a proven Clay.com workflow—one of the most widely used Go-To-Market Engineering tools in B2B sales—to find leads and generate highly personalized LinkedIn outreach, adapted for job searching and high-quality networking.

​This is the exact pipeline we’ll walk through—already used to reach ~1,000 leads with AI-generated outreach messages for real client, that went well above industry average:

​• 40%+ acceptance rate

​• 18%+ reply rate

​

​🧩 What We’ll Cover

​• Clay.com workflow walkthrough:

​  – Build a lead list (companies, hiring managers, founders)

​  – Enrich with context (role, team, signals)

​  – Use AI to generate personalized LinkedIn connection messages

​• Prompt engineering fundamentals (beginner → advanced):

​  – No-code Meta Prompting Technique to dynamically adjust structure, and targeting

​  – Prompting techniques for reducing hallucinations, Chain of Thought, Scratchpad, XML Prompting and others

​  – Structured outputs + iteration loops (draft → critique → rewrite)
