The Corporate Bartender - Looking For a New Gig is Different in 2026 with the TCB Crew

Episode notes

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender! Pull up a stool, settle in, and let’s talk shop for a minute. Around here we spend a lot of time unpacking the messy reality of work - the leadership moments, the career pivots, the things that look simple on LinkedIn but feel a whole lot different in real life. And today? We’re getting into one of the topics that’s quietly stressing out a lot of very smart people right now: finding your next gig in 2026. Because let’s be honest - the job search game has changed. Resumes are getting screened by AI. Interviews sometimes feel like you’re talking to a robot…because sometimes you are. And everyone seems to be asking the same question: How do you actually stand out when the algorithms are also applying for the job? So Lori grabbed the mic and opened it up to the TCB Crew. What followed was a real conversation about the highs, the headaches, and the strategy behind navigating a job search right now - from networking that actually works, to the emotional rollercoaster of the process, to how AI is both helping and absolutely messing with the system. It’s thoughtful. It’s practical.
