It’s May, and for many of you, that means graduation. Whether you’re finishing your MBA or completing another academic journey, this is a moment filled with possibility—and uncertainty. Especially in today’s job market, it’s natural to feel some anxiety about what comes next.
To support you in your job search, I want to point you to a few episodes from the back catalog that offer practical tools and strategies to help you navigate this transition.
First up: Steve Dalton, author of The 2-Hour Job Search. In our conversation, he breaks down a step-by-step approach to landing interviews efficiently—even in a tough market.
If you’re looking to up your LinkedIn game, check out my interview with Jeremy Schifeling, co-author of Linked: Conquer LinkedIn, Get Your Dream Job, Own Your Future. He shares insider tips from his time at LinkedIn and how to stand out online.
Jeremy also returned to the podcast more recently to talk about how job seekers can use generative AI tools like ChatGPT to improve résumés, write better outreach messages, and streamline the job search.
Along those lines, Ryan Dickerson, an executive career coach, joined me to discuss how AI can support career transitions, especially for experienced professionals looking to pivot or reenter the workforce.
And finally, don’t miss my conversation with Priyanka Natrajan, a Foster MBA who used the AI-powered platform Yoodli to practice for internship interviews. It's a great example of how technology can help you build confidence and polish your communication skills.
