This episode will completely transform the way you apply to jobs. Yes, I go over what to include in your resume. But your resume alone is NOT what's gonna drive more job interviews.

These are the steps my clients have used to get job offers and over $600,000 in salary increases.  If you're tired of endlessly scrolling LinkedIn and drawing a blank at where high-paying jobs are posted, this episode is for you.

Send us a textHiring shouldn't feel like a maze you have to sprint through. We slow it down and map a clear route: tailor your CV to value, prepare for interviews with repeatable frameworks, and make smart choices about disclosure, culture fit, and negotiation—especially if you're neurodivergent and juggling burnout risk, memory load, or short tenures.Andrew Arkley, founder of Purple CV, brings 12 years of hands‑on expertise in CV writing, interview coaching, and ATS‑friendly formatting. We dig into when a functional CV beats a chronological one, how to turn frequent job changes into a story of adaptability, and why specifics sell: the exact tools, frameworks, and metrics that mirror the job spec. Clean structure wins; generic phrases don't. You'll hear how to use AI as a helper without losing your voice, and how modern ATS actually reads applications. Then we shift to live‑fire tactics: learn the interview format before you arrive, roleplay the common prompts, and answer with STAR to stay concise and confident.Researcher and coach Esther Bangoura shares fresh insights from a UK survey on neurodivergence and money: most respondents believe they could earn more with better clarity, feedback, and flexibility. We connect those findings to everyday decisions—when to disclose, how to negotiate for the top of a salary band by tying asks to business outcomes, and what red flags to spot in vague job descriptions. We round it out with a sustainable job search strategy: define criteria, track outcomes, adjust instead of “spray and pray,” keep a living log of wins, and align LinkedIn with your narrative without oversharing.If you're ready to stop guessing and start landing interviews that fit, this conversation gives you the tools: targeted keywords, measurable achievements, format intel, culture research, and calm, repeatable interview prep.

College used to be a reliable path to a professional career. Now, facing an increase in layoffs and a difficult job market, some workers say it's not enough. In The Loop learns more about why this is happening and what it means for both workers and the economy.

“America's Job Market Has  Entered the Slow Lane”—that was a recent Wall Street Journal headline. Most of the mainstream media echoes this interpretation, but the reality is much better than the headlines suggest. In fact, it's as if the reporters who wrote those headlines didn't read beyond the headline of the jobs report. Here's what the Dec. 2025 jobs report actually showed:  ✅People working multiple part-time jobs exchanged them for single full-time jobs in December.  ✅During nearly the entire final year of the Biden admin, annual native-born employment was in the red. In 2025, native-born employment beat foreign-born employment by over 1.6 million. ✅The federal workforce is the smallest it's been since 2014. “So, despite all the naysayers, Trump's first year back at the helm saw a labor market undergo badly needed structural changes that are making Americans better off… If we keep up with tax reform, regulatory reform, and energy reform, economic growth will turn into a rocket sled on rails.” For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal's YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 ⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.

The U.S. economy added a modest 50,000 jobs in December. It was below expectations and capped the weakest year for job growth since the pandemic. Employers added a total of 584,000 jobs for all of 2025, a big drop from the 2 million created in 2024. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.4%, but the jobs report points to a soft market.

Jack Janasiewicz isn't as optimistic on the Trump administration's "Big Beautiful Bill" as others. He suggests there are "plenty of things" that can offset a "boost to the consumer." As for labor, Jack sees a "no hire, no fire" jobs market holding a "goldilocks" scenario. However, a climb in firings will raise a "red flag" for market. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

The job market isn't what it used to be. A strong resume and decades of experience are no longer enough to carry even the most qualified applicants, especially in a market flooded with applications and filtered by AI before a human ever looks twice. Hiring works differently now, and that shift catches a lot of experienced workers off guard. That's why today's guest matters big time. We're joined by Rick Denius, founder of HR Search Co., to break down how the hiring process really works today and what job seekers need to understand to navigate it.In this conversation, Rick walks through what he sees every day behind the scenes of hiring — why companies post jobs as a last resort, how roles actually get filled before they ever appear online, and where experienced candidates lose leverage without realizing it. He explains why applying online so often leads nowhere, how age bias quietly shows up in modern hiring (ageism is real!), and what older workers can do to stay visible and in demand.

Conflicting jobs data indicates a complex economic landscape for IT service providers, as the unemployment rate in the tech sector has risen to 4% with a loss of 134,000 jobs between October and November 2025. Despite a drop in the overall unemployment rate to 4.2% and a projected growth of managed services contributing $608 billion to the B2B technology sector, the mixed signals from economic indicators complicate decision-making for the Federal Reserve and raise concerns about consumer spending. Analysts emphasize that the current job losses reflect a shift in responsibility from internal roles to external managed service providers (MSPs), which may not alleviate underlying risks.The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a draft profile addressing cybersecurity challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting the need for organizations to manage AI-related security risks effectively. This profile outlines how AI can enhance cybersecurity defenses while also detailing the responsibilities that come with its deployment. Recent assessments reveal that while some AI models perform better in security contexts, the lack of clarity around accountability when AI systems make decisions remains a significant concern for MSPs.Private equity activity is accelerating in the managed services sector, exemplified by Broadwing Capital's acquisition of CloudScale365, which aims to create a platform addressing gaps in the fragmented IT-managed services market. This consolidation trend raises questions for MSPs about operational norms and the potential loss of control over their business models. As platforms seek to standardize pricing and decision-making processes, MSPs must consider how these changes will affect their service delivery and customer relationships.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the evolving landscape underscores the importance of understanding where risk is shifting and how to price and govern accordingly.
