Episode 44: Hot Take: Is the hiring process broken?

**Please note: this episode includes strong language!**

In this episode of 'Careers at the End of the World,' host Jenn Walker Wall addresses misconceptions around the hiring process, emphasizing that it works as designed to meet employer needs rather than job seeker aspirations.

She encourages listeners to focus on elements within their control, build relationships, and contextualize their frustrations as stemming from broader systemic issues, rather than blaming recruiters (and doing so publicly on LinkedIn!). Jenn also discusses the importance of investing energy wisely and invites listeners to connect with her on LinkedIn and join her networking group for further support.
