Landing a job after college isn’t as easy as it sounds—just ask Alexis. In this episode, recent graduate Alexis shares her candid journey of navigating the post-college job hunt, the mistakes she made, and what she wished she had done differently while still in school. From a resume that didn’t sell her skills to feeling completely unprepared for the hiring process, Alexis learned the hard way what it really takes to stand out to employers.
Her story takes an unexpected turn when she lands a role at UPS—her dream company—only to be laid off just after completing training at the top of her class. But instead of giving up, Alexis kept pushing forward, learning from her setbacks and refining her job search strategy. Her determination paid off—she landed an incredible position at a company known for hiring new graduates and investing in their success.
Tune in as we break down the realities of the job search, what colleges don’t teach you about getting hired, and the lessons Alexis wants every new graduate to hear.
