Episode notes
Job Market Is Not One-Size-Fits-All
- The job market feels chaotic because headlines amplify specific industry pain, not the whole economy.
- Your personal market depends on industry, geography, and role, so data matters more than headlines.
Vet Culture By Talking To Employees
- Start by setting realistic expectations for what work will feel like and what you need from a job.
- Then talk to current employees and ask specific questions about day-to-day life and one thing they'd change.
Speak With Similar Colleagues For Honest Insight
- If you need representation, ask recruiters to connect you with employees who share your background.
- Speaking with similar-minted colleagues yields clearer insight into inclusion and belonging.
