  • Episode 23:

    In this episode of 'Careers at the End of the World,' host Jenn Walker Wall addresses the challenges of enduring prolonged job searches in a competitive market. Drawing from a recent webinar and experiences with her clients, Jenn discusses the trend of longer job search processes, citing examples of clients in multiple rounds of interviews. 

    She offers survival strategies for job seekers, emphasizing the importance of starting the search before you’re ready, budgeting for financial flexibility, navigating unemployment, considering interim 'bridge jobs,' and possibly accepting less than perfect job opportunities. 

    Jenn also highlights the need for both professional and social support for job search and career transitions, and she touches on the concept of energetic hygiene to manage stress and maintain a positive outlook during these challenging times.
