You can send out 300 applications and hear nothing back, unemployment is only down because people are giving up on the job hunt, and the folks who do have jobs feel like they have nowhere else to go. In this episode, Vivian sits down with Workhap CEO, and Get Hired, Get Paid, Get Happy author Sho Dewan to talk about how to land a job in a bad market, get paid what you’re worth, and maybe even like your job again. Vivian and Sho discuss:
1. Getting hired: The state of the job market today, the most common resume mistakes and how to fix them, applying in the age of AI resume reviews, interview strategies for the socially anxious, and how to get taken seriously for a role in a brand-new industry.
2. Getting paid: How to negotiate a raise when your company swears there’s no budget, telling a bad season apart from a sign it’s time to leave, and whether the highest-paying jobs really have to be in major cities.
3. Building your own opportunities: What actually counts as networking, making connections without being a nepo baby, when to ask for a favor and how to word the outreach message, and Sho’s translations of corporate-speak like “we’re like family” and “unlimited PTO.”
