The jobs market has changed. AI is reshaping hiring processes, redefining the skills employers want, and, for better or worse, transforming what early career success actually looks like. The question isn't whether AI will affect your career path. It already is.

This live session with Peter Watson cuts through the noise and gives you an honest, practical guide to navigating the early careers landscape in 2026, so you can stand out, get hired, and hit the ground running.

In this session, Peter will cover:

• How AI is changing hiring — from CV screening and application sifting to AI-assisted interviews and automated assessments
• What employers are actually looking for now — and which skills have become more valuable, not less, in an AI-driven world
• How to use AI tools smartly in your job search without undermining your own application
• The commercial awareness edge — why understanding AI's business impact makes you a stronger candidate in any sector
• Sectors and roles that are growing, those that are contracting, and how to position yourself accordingly
• Practical tips on applications, networking, and interviews in a world where everyone has access to the same AI tools

This session is ideal if you're:

• A student or recent graduate actively job hunting or preparing to
• Applying to roles in finance, law, consulting, tech, or any graduate-entry field
• Worried that AI is making the jobs market harder to navigate and want a clearer picture
• Someone who wants to use AI to their advantage, rather than be caught out by it

Peter brings his background as both an ex-City professional and experienced headhunter to give you a perspective that's grounded in how hiring actually works — not just theory.

The graduate job market is more competitive than ever. Come prepared.
