The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: ‘Preparing for an “AI Interview” – Regardless of your AI Expertise’ by George Pace
Please share this with other groups you may be in. Join us on Meetup.com at: http://www.meetup.com/The-Breakfast-Club-NJ/ to RSVP for the meeting.
Presentation: You have learned how to use AI tools like ChatGPT to refine your resume, craft standout cover letters, and land interviews. But employers are rapidly shifting expectations: they now want candidates who can use AI to solve real business problems, not just boost personal productivity. In this new landscape, interviewers will increasingly ask questions like, “How would you use AI to solve this business problem?” – and without preparation, those questions will be difficult – if not impossible – to answer.
This BRAND NEW 2026 presentation shows you how to get ready for that shift, regardless of your current AI expertise. In this dynamic and actionable session, George will walk you through how to prepare for an AI-focused interview by covering:
- 2025 AI news stories that are reshaping talent and skills expectations
- How AI will impact every phase of job search
- Explore 6 core activities that form the foundation of your AI journey
- How to set realistic time investments and expectations
- Techniques to visualize AI solutions specific to your industry
- How to build a digital footprint that markets your AI skills
- Key resources for tracking current AI use cases and industry direction
- How to research a company’s AI ambitions and align your skills
- How to deconstruct business workflows to identify AI opportunities and risks
You will leave with practical guidance and examples you can immediately use / reference in future interviews.
About the Speaker:
George Pace is an IT technology leader focused on extracting business value from the latest technologies, with a particular emphasis on Artificial Intelligence. His work centers on how AI can be trusted in real-world, governed environments, building on the principle that “Trusted AI is Governed AI.”
George holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Seton Hall University and an MBA from Rutgers Business School. He shares his insights on his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/keeppace and in AI and Intelligent Agents blog at https://keeppace.substack.com.

Speaker: Paul Cecala
Topic: Listen More, Talk Less: A Key to Career Succes
Overview: Join Paul for an interactive workshop that will allow participants to practice new or existing listening skills.

In most cases, being better listeners makes both these concerns disappear. Perfect 3 types of listening – Intentional, Inquisitive, and Reflective. Learn how better listening and less talking makes others more memorable.

Want to learn how to get interviews even when rejected by the Applicant Tracking System (ATS)?
– Wish you knew how to access the “Hidden Job Market” that accounts for more than half of all the positions that companies are trying to fill?
These are just 2 of the topics that will be covered during my presentation. The biggest reason why it’s taking most job seekers 4-9 months to land their next job is due to a lack of “VISIBILITY”. When there are 200-400 applicants to every open job, trying to stand out from a crowd of qualified candidates can be tough. And that’s why you need to be willing to TAKE CHANCES that other job seekers aren’t willing to do. That’s how you get noticed and get interviews you may not be getting today.
During this presentation, I’ll share more than 10+ seldom used tactics you can implement to beat your competition. There’s a lot to be said about people who demonstrate initiative, and I’ll show you how you can be characterized in a much more positive and visible light. That’s what gets you interviews.
Here are a few of the topics that I’ll discuss:
– Ways to stand out from your competition
– How to access the Hidden Job Market
– Increasing your visibility on LinkedIn
– Getting interviews after you’ve been rejected by the ATS
– Maximizing the value of your network for introductions
The agenda is as follows:
6:00 – 6:15 Open networking
6:15 – 7:45 Presentation and Q&A
7:45 – 8:30 Virtual networking via Zoom breakout rooms
All registrants will receive:
– a recording of the presentation
– 75 minutes of networking
– a list of all registrants and email addresses to expand your network

More Information: Work Team meets every Monday morning. Networking starts from 9 to 9:30am and the meeting starts at 9:30 to 10:30 while virtual. Members hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of “landings” by those conducting an active and vigorous job search.
Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.
Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared “elevator pitch” to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there’s a problem to solve or a need to fill.
