Does networking feel overwhelming? Let’s fix that. In today’s market, 40–80% of roles are filled through referrals, not online applications. But building and maintaining those relationships is hard. In this video, I’ll walk you through how to automate your entire job search networking system using n8n and ChatGPT. You’ll learn how to auto-track every connection, generate personalized follow-up reminders, and use AI to create summaries and next steps…All based on the exact system that helped me land roles at Google, Microsoft, and Twitter after getting 0 replies from 300 job applications.

You’ll also get a free copy of my networking tracker template, n8n automation workflow, and all of the ChatGPT prompts I used. This automation isn't just theory. It's part of the system we use with our job search coaching clients.

Note On AI Use: AI isn't meant to be a replacement for you. If you're simply copying and pasting outputs, you're not going to see the benefits. Instead, you need to view AI as a supplement that saves you energy via automation, amplifies your critical thinking as a brainstorm partner, etc. Use it to remove 80% of the tedious baseline work so you save 100% of your energy for the high ROI actions that move the needle.
