Job Search Support Part 1: How to Succeed in This Job Market
This Limited Podcast Series was recorded on August 27, 2024 with 50+ job seekers in attendance. Michele Dye, a former hiring manager, gave a state of the current job market and stayed on the call taking questions from the audience for 2 hours. Dyenamic Careers has created short podcast episodes from this call to help you quickly find the answers you need to get hired in this job market.
It’s no secret that this job market sucks. Recent data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) confirmed what I’ve been thinking all along… this is the worst job market since 2007/2008. BLS made a big blunder in their reporting earlier this year, where they overestimated job creation by 800,000+ jobs.
In today's episode, we'll be diving into the current state of the job market with a focus on fresh strategies to turn things around. Listen in so you can start making positive changes in your job search strategy so you can get the results you want.
