Podcasts about job market

Matthew Bidwell, Professor of Management at the Wharton School, explores how the job search process is evolving for today's graduates and what it takes to break into the workforce. As hiring has slowed across traditional pipelines like consulting and tech, the path to a first role has become more competitive and fragmented.In this episode, Bidwell explains how AI is transforming applications, making it easier to apply at scale while increasing competition, and shares how candidates can still stand out by leveraging networking, personal connections, and targeted outreach.The conversation also highlights the importance of internships and viewing early careers as a period of exploration, where individuals build skills and refine their long-term direction.

I still can't stop thinking about something that happened back in May and the college commencement season. There were several news reports that popped up regarding the response of graduating students to things that their commencement speakers were saying. It seems that concerns over Artificial Intelligence spurred on choruses of boos at a variety of schools where the commencement speakers were touting AI. One of the main reasons for the pushback is the fact that college graduates are watching the quick advance of AI and wondering if the technology will actually take their place in the job market. During a recent dinner out in a restaurant, I interacted with a waitress who had graduated with a dual degree in IT and Marketing. She blamed her lack of a job on the presence of AI in those fields. I believe that the response of these students is warranted as we have to tap the brakes and exercise caution regarding the space we carve out for Ai in our lives.

Now in any recession, it's the young ones who are going to find it hardest to get jobs, and this recession is no different. Student Job Search says many students and graduates are really struggling to find jobs, part time, full time, which means they're also finding it tough to pay the rent and to put food on the table. And just looking at the story, it seems that many young people who've followed their passions are finding it the most difficult to get work. They've taken out student loans to get degrees in fields like screen production or radio, or they've done a Bachelor of Communications and then they're finding that the jobs simply aren't there, not for entry level. Or there are fears that the jobs for which the young people have qualified, taken out the student loans, worked their way through and qualified, simply won't exist in the future. Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, has warned that up to half of white collar work could be automated by 2030 In this country, MB warns that young people may struggle to get onto the employment ladder as an increasing amount of entry level work is automated. The unemployment rate among New Zealand's 15 to 24 year olds currently sits at around 15% triple that of the working age population. These are young people who are looking for work. They weren't faffing around just taking a dole or a youth allowance. These are young people who want work and the unemployment rate is around 15% Research from the AI Forum in this country earlier this year showed that 45% of businesses were planning to lower their headcount due to implementing AI. So not only are they struggling to find jobs in the field that they've studied and they've graduated in, there's real concern that they're not going to get a job in 10 years from now, that job simply won't be there. There was a review of a number of go get em tiger type books in The Economist this week under the heading "Traditional career advice is failing Gen Z". Two of the books have authors who tell their readers to get out there and find a career you love, to follow your passion, nothing will make you more successful than loving what you do for a living. But the third author took the opposite approach and I think it's probably the more sensible one. He says get good at something that helps others and the passion will follow. His argument is that if you're good at your job, you'll have more leverage to do enjoyable work than if you pursue a passion and you're mediocre. Don't go for the big bucks, he cites the happiness paradox where once basic comfort and security are met, extra income yields much smaller gains in daily emotional well being. Just being wealthy isn't going to make you happy. You get to a certain tipping point where you can pay all your bills on time, have a little bit set aside for disposable income, a holiday once a year perhaps, that'll do you. Anything beyond that and it's not really worth it. He says do something where you feel valued and where your skills are in demand. Do that rather than follow your dream of becoming a professional YouTuber or a cinematographer or what have you. I have been very, very lucky to begin a job at 17 that I have loved, and I've pretty much done it on and off since I was 17 working in the media. Being a television presenter, being a radio journalist, being a writer, being a columnist, loved it. Apart from two years of COVID, but we don't need to go into that right now, not today. Absolutely loved it and feel very, very lucky to have done so. But what is your advice to your young people? Or if you are a young person who has recently graduated, how did you decide what to do? How difficult has it been trying to find a job? I mean 15% unemployment among the 15 to 24 year olds. That's a lot of young kids that are knocking on doors willing to do anything, and they are. These aren't lazy kids. They're willing to do damn near anything. They've given up working in screen production or radio or public relations, they just want a job. What's your advice? Do a bit of research and find out what jobs might be AI proof, service jobs, or do you still think it's important to tell kids to follow their passion?

Guest: Dr. Telisha Roberts, Founder and President of Creative IntentionsHost: Rushion McDonaldTopic: Career development, leadership growth, entrepreneurship, workforce readiness, and navigating today's changing job market. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the conversation was to help students, early-career professionals, corporate employees, and aspiring entrepreneurs understand how to successfully navigate career transitions and professional growth. Dr. Roberts shared insights from her 26-year corporate career and explained how Creative Intentions helps individuals bridge the gap between potential and achievement. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] The interview focused on preparing people for workplace success, leadership roles, entrepreneurship, and adapting to economic uncertainty, layoffs, and artificial intelligence-driven workforce changes. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Key Takeaways 1. Success Requires More Than Opportunity Dr. Roberts emphasized that securing a job, internship, or promotion is only the beginning. What determines long-term success is how effectively individuals navigate and perform once they enter those opportunities. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Getting the opportunity and succeeding in it are two different challenges. 2. Always Have a Plan One of the strongest themes throughout the interview was intentional planning. Roberts shared that before leaving her 26-year corporate career, she spent roughly a year preparing and developing a plan to ensure a successful transition. She encourages others to proactively prepare for career changes instead of reacting after a crisis occurs. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Faith, passion, and ambition should always be supported by a structured plan. 3. Career Development Is a Lifelong Process Creative Intentions supports: College juniors and seniors Early-career professionals Managers and executives Entrepreneurs Small business owners Roberts believes individuals need guidance at every stage of professional growth. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Professional development does not stop after graduation. 4. Hard Work Alone Does Not Guarantee Promotion One of the most discussed topics in the interview was the misconception that simply working hard will automatically lead to advancement. Roberts explained that employees must learn how to communicate their value, connect their accomplishments to organizational goals, and demonstrate strategic impact. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Visibility, communication, and strategic alignment are as important as effort. 5. Tell Your Own Story According to Roberts, many talented professionals fail to advance because they expect others to recognize their contributions automatically. She stresses that employees must be capable of: Articulating their value Demonstrating impact Understanding organizational priorities Forecasting future needs [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: If you cannot explain your value, others may overlook it. 6. Mentorship Can Change Lives The creation of Creative Intentions was inspired by a young intern Roberts mentored who did not receive a job offer after her internship. The experience deeply affected Roberts and motivated her to create an organization dedicated to helping people gain the skills and support necessary for career success. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Investing in people can have a lasting impact on their lives and careers. 7. Success Has No Easy Path Roberts repeatedly emphasized that whether someone pursues corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, content creation, or business ownership, all meaningful success requires discipline and hard work. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: There are no shortcuts to sustainable success. 8. Every Person Requires an Individualized Approach Unlike many coaching and training programs, Roberts believes there is no one-size-fits-all method for development. Her team uses assessments and personalized coaching to understand an individual's strengths, preferences, experiences, and leadership potential. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Effective development starts with understanding the individual. 9. Confidence Often Comes Through Investment and Support Many people struggle because they do not recognize their own potential. Roberts noted that some individuals have never been encouraged to explore their gifts or strengths. Her work focuses on helping people discover abilities they may not yet see in themselves. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Confidence is often built through mentorship, support, and self-discovery. 10. AI and Workforce Disruption Are Real Challenges Roberts directly addressed concerns about artificial intelligence and layoffs. She acknowledged that organizations are reallocating resources toward AI and that competition for jobs has intensified. However, she encourages professionals to remain proactive, strategic, and adaptable rather than fearful. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Career resilience requires strategy, adaptability, and continuous learning. 11. Stay Calm During Uncertainty A defining characteristic of Roberts' leadership philosophy is maintaining composure under pressure. She shared examples from both her corporate career and personal life to illustrate the importance of responding to challenges with clarity and purpose rather than panic. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Effective leaders remain calm while taking decisive action.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Telisha Roberts. Guest: Dr. Telisha Roberts, Founder and President of Creative IntentionsHost: Rushion McDonaldTopic: Career development, leadership growth, entrepreneurship, workforce readiness, and navigating today's changing job market. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the conversation was to help students, early-career professionals, corporate employees, and aspiring entrepreneurs understand how to successfully navigate career transitions and professional growth. Dr. Roberts shared insights from her 26-year corporate career and explained how Creative Intentions helps individuals bridge the gap between potential and achievement. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] The interview focused on preparing people for workplace success, leadership roles, entrepreneurship, and adapting to economic uncertainty, layoffs, and artificial intelligence-driven workforce changes. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Key Takeaways 1. Success Requires More Than Opportunity Dr. Roberts emphasized that securing a job, internship, or promotion is only the beginning. What determines long-term success is how effectively individuals navigate and perform once they enter those opportunities. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Getting the opportunity and succeeding in it are two different challenges. 2. Always Have a Plan One of the strongest themes throughout the interview was intentional planning. Roberts shared that before leaving her 26-year corporate career, she spent roughly a year preparing and developing a plan to ensure a successful transition. She encourages others to proactively prepare for career changes instead of reacting after a crisis occurs. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Faith, passion, and ambition should always be supported by a structured plan. 3. Career Development Is a Lifelong Process Creative Intentions supports: College juniors and seniors Early-career professionals Managers and executives Entrepreneurs Small business owners Roberts believes individuals need guidance at every stage of professional growth. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Professional development does not stop after graduation. 4. Hard Work Alone Does Not Guarantee Promotion One of the most discussed topics in the interview was the misconception that simply working hard will automatically lead to advancement. Roberts explained that employees must learn how to communicate their value, connect their accomplishments to organizational goals, and demonstrate strategic impact. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Visibility, communication, and strategic alignment are as important as effort. 5. Tell Your Own Story According to Roberts, many talented professionals fail to advance because they expect others to recognize their contributions automatically. She stresses that employees must be capable of: Articulating their value Demonstrating impact Understanding organizational priorities Forecasting future needs [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: If you cannot explain your value, others may overlook it. 6. Mentorship Can Change Lives The creation of Creative Intentions was inspired by a young intern Roberts mentored who did not receive a job offer after her internship. The experience deeply affected Roberts and motivated her to create an organization dedicated to helping people gain the skills and support necessary for career success. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Investing in people can have a lasting impact on their lives and careers. 7. Success Has No Easy Path Roberts repeatedly emphasized that whether someone pursues corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, content creation, or business ownership, all meaningful success requires discipline and hard work. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: There are no shortcuts to sustainable success. 8. Every Person Requires an Individualized Approach Unlike many coaching and training programs, Roberts believes there is no one-size-fits-all method for development. Her team uses assessments and personalized coaching to understand an individual's strengths, preferences, experiences, and leadership potential. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Effective development starts with understanding the individual. 9. Confidence Often Comes Through Investment and Support Many people struggle because they do not recognize their own potential. Roberts noted that some individuals have never been encouraged to explore their gifts or strengths. Her work focuses on helping people discover abilities they may not yet see in themselves. [Dr. Telish...(Podcast) | Txt] Takeaway: Confidence is often built through mentorship, support, and self-discovery. 10.

Is AI making the job market better or worse? Jonathan Green talks with executive job-search expert and Army veteran Dante Crowther about breaking through a market where hundreds apply for every role — why AI screening can filter out the best candidate, why human connection still wins, and how to bet on yourself when the algorithms are stacked against you. Key Takeaways: • The problem isn't too few jobs — it's the signal-to-noise of too many applicants per role • AI hiring filters can screen out the most qualified person because they read keywords, not people • The nonverbals and judgment that land jobs are exactly what AI can't replicate • Networking is the edge — most real opportunities come from human connection, not applications • Bet on yourself: your time and what you offer are more valuable than you think Notable Quotes: "Good luck insulting me — I'm a salesman, I'll sit down and talk with anyone." — Dante Crowther "If you believe what you have to offer is that valuable, you should bet on yourself." — Dante Crowther Connect with Dante Crowther: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dante-crowther Website: https://executivejobsearch.net/ Enjoyed this?

Every time you open LinkedIn, someone is telling you what career to pursue next.Go into tech. Learn AI. Get another certification. Go into the trades. Get another degree.But what if constantly chasing the next "hot" industry is actually keeping you behind?In this episode, I explain why today's job market reminds me of fast fashion.

On this bonus episode of Find Your Dream Job, Mac steps into the guest seat alongside executive career strategist Gina Riley for the Intel Alumni Network's Path to Next series. Mac and Gina name what many job seekers are feeling right now. The market has tightened with fewer roles, more applicants, and easy-apply tools that leave too many qualified professionals sending out thoughtful résumés into silence.What sets you apart is knowing the job you're after, building a short list of employers you'd love to work for, and pursuing organizations rather than openings. Mac and Gina discuss how to ask for an informational interview, why a referral carries more weight than an online application, and how to follow up when someone goes quiet without feeling like a pest. Their parting advice is: don't wait to be picked; being qualified isn't enough in this job market.About the Host:Gina Riley is an executive career strategist and the author of the book, Qualified Isn't Enough: Develop Your Story.

AI. “AI is taking the jobs.”  “White-collar work is being automated.” And look, that story is emotionally powerful. It feels like it explains everything. But it's completely missing the point. And for many of these announcements, that is the point. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Webinar June 2026: Why Smart Investors Keep Missing Every Major Economic Turning PointIt isn't that they're buying the wrong assets.

Jason Hartman discusses the enduring stability of income property as a premier asset class. He highlights updates to his Property Tracker software, which now integrates real-time inflation data and calculates suggested cash reserves to help investors manage risk. He critiques the reliability of official CPI figures, arguing that higher actual inflation creates significant wealth through inflation-induced debt destruction. Jason also shares a personal anecdote about shutting down his Bitcoin miners due to unprofitability, using the story to warn against over-diversification in unproven assets. He then welcomes Lawrence Yun, the Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, as he provides a comprehensive update on the current state of the U.S. housing market. Yun highlights a significant "slump" in home sales volume over the last four years, even as property prices remain at record highs due to an estimated shortage of four million homes. The discussion covers how high mortgage rates and tax policies like capital gains are freezing inventory by discouraging homeowners from moving. Despite these challenges, Yun remains optimistic, citing strong job growth and potential interest rate cuts driven by future technological productivity as catalysts for a multi-year market recovery. He concludes th at the market is finally turning a corner, with pent-up demand likely to drive increased activity through 2026.   PropertyTracker.com http://empoweredinvestor.com/   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 0:00 Bitcoin miners and focusing on making money 9:34 Upgrades to PropertyTracker software   Laurence Yun interview 20:48 Update on the housing market 26:19 Rising house prices and the coming equilibrium 32:39 Job market and housing demand 40:25 Kevin Warsh and the economy 44:03 Capital gains tax and housing supply 50:29 Housing demand 54:32 The new housing bill 57:30 Market forecast      _______________________________________________________________   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

The job market feels broken to a lot of people right now. Bonnie Dilber has a different read on it. As Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition at Zapier, she looks at hiring data for fun, and she says the problem is not that the jobs disappeared. It is that more people are competing for a pool of roles that has stayed flat, while plenty of work in trades, healthcare, and education goes unfilled. In this conversation, Bonnie and Brandon Laws get honest about what is actually happening in hiring. They cover the myths job seekers still believe, why AI-written resumes are making recruiters work harder, and how Zapier is using agentic AI interviews and automation across its process. Bonnie also shares direct advice for anyone stuck in a long search, including why your self-assessment is probably off and where the real opportunities are. If you hire people or are looking for your next role, this one is worth your time.
