Getting a Job Is Now a Full-Time Job - Zachary Kuhl

AI is changing the job market faster than most people realize—but not in the way headlines suggest. Career coach Zach breaks down the growing "AI gap," why entry-level jobs are disappearing, how recruiters actually evaluate candidates, and what job seekers can do to stay competitive. The conversation covers LinkedIn, networking after COVID, resume strategy, cold outreach, military-to-civilian transitions, and why being more visible may matter more than having another certification. Whether you're changing careers, leaving the military, or trying to future-proof your career, this episode offers practical strategies grounded in today's hiring reality.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Meet Zach01:00 – Hockey, Community, and Getting Involved04:15 – What Is the AI Gap?09:45 – How AI Is Changing LinkedIn & Hiring13:00 – Why Networking Matters More Than Ever19:10 – Why Finding a Job Feels Harder Today21:05 – The Numbers Game Behind Job Hunting25:45 – Applying Without Meeting Every Requirement32:25 – Using AI to Find Jobs (Without Hurting Yourself)39:40 – The Strategic Human & The Future of Work41:00 – Is It Better to Stay or Change Jobs?46:30 – Should Young People Avoid Careers AI Might Replace?47:10 – The Pneumatic Tube Story: Why AI Isn't the End52:30 – Standing Out in an AI Job Market58:10 – Self-Promotion Without Feeling Fake1:01:50 – Advice for Veterans Entering the Civilian Workforce1:04:50 – Final Thoughts & Where to Find Zach
