About This Event


TECH AND...is a monthly event series where we host thought-leaders from a specific industry and explore new intersections between their field and technology. Together, we discuss how they’ve been impacted by the rise of tech, ways they’ve adapted and innovated along the way, and what they expect to see in the future.
Job Hunting in the Digital Age


As a part of May's Career Camp week, General Assembly and TechGen are coming together to discuss the evolution of job hunting in the past decade, and how technology now plays an instrumental part in helping you land a job.


Do you remember when job hunting meant going through the newspaper and circling interesting job listings? We have come a long way since then. Now most companies manage their open job opportunities through online applicant tracking systems like Greenhouse or Bullhorn. Not only are companies moving over to this high tech recruiting software, networks like LinkedIn have also become a big part of how candidates are now evaluated.


A few years ago we worked hard to keep our social media accounts off the radar of potential employers (hide all of the incriminating keg party photos!). Now having an online presence, especially on LinkedIn is a crucial part of the interview process.


What You’ll Take Away:


Gain insight and inspiration from experts working in the hiring industry in Boston and hear first-hand how technology is transforming their work. You will also learn tips for building your online presence through LinkedIn and using that to leverage in the job search process.
