Job Readiness & AI‑Era Careers
About this event
Interviews are exhausting. Resumes feel like a black box. And now AI is screening applications before a human even sees your name. This CreateHER Fest session is a live, practical workshop + panel on how to tell your story, tune your resume, and navigate job searches in an AI‑driven hiring landscape.
You’ll hear from:
Neha Rathi – Quality Engineer II and AI/ML enthusiast focused on intelligent automation and ethical AI practices, with a background across QA, data, and mentoring women in tech.
Khushboo Nigam – Principal Cloud Architect at Oracle, speaker on cloud engineering and career development, and advocate for women in cloud and AI.
Jazmine Walker – AI Strategist & Creative Technologist, community architect, and personal branding advisor who helps professionals elevate their digital presence and stand out on LinkedIn.
Together, they’ll break down what actually stands out in today’s resumes and interviews—and how to stay human, visible, and confident along the way.
What we’ll cover
How AI shows up in hiring (ATS, keyword screening, certificates, layoffs) and what you can control.
Turning “I ramble when I’m excited” into concise, compelling interview stories using simple frameworks.
Using AI tools ethically to strengthen your resume and bullet points—without losing your voice.
Building a LinkedIn presence that matches your goals: profiles, posts, and networking moves that open doors.
Reframing rejection, reading confusing job requirements, and deciding when to keep going vs. pivot.
Making space for neurodiverse and non‑traditional career paths in tech.
You’ll leave with
By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with:
A draft answer to “Tell me about yourself” or a key behavioral question, in a reusable story format.
An AI‑polished set of resume bullets you can plug into your resume or LinkedIn.
A refreshed LinkedIn headline or About blurb aligned to AI/cloud/tech roles, plus concrete networking actions inspired by Jazmine’s playbook.
A short list of next steps for your job search (networking, applications, or portfolio updates).
Who this is for
This session is for you if:
You’re actively interviewing or planning a pivot into AI, cloud, data, product, or adjacent roles.
You’ve ever left an interview thinking “I talked too much” or “I didn’t show what I can really do.”
You’re navigating neurodiversity, career gaps, or unconventional paths and want language that honors your story.
You want your LinkedIn and network to reflect the kind of builder you’re becoming, not just your last job title.
