The Cozy Impact Pod, hosted by Malia and Julia, welcomes Mariam Matin, an Austin-based talent entrepreneur passionate about making hiring more equitable and empowering. They delve into the performative nature of job interviews and the invisible barriers that perpetuate inequities in the job search process, particularly for marginalized groups like first-generation college students. Mariam shares her journey of founding Second Day, a nonprofit aiding diverse talent in launching social impact careers, driven by her desire to redefine success and create pathways into meaningful work. They discuss the importance of breaking the cycle of rewarding those who know how to play the game in hiring, highlighting the need for changes both on the job seeker and employer sides to foster greater inclusivity and diversity in the workforce. Mariam introduces her new startup, Forward, co-founded with her sister, a product that better connects early-career professionals and the employers who hire them because the job-matching process sucks.
