It’s the end of season one of The Layoff podcast, and we celebrated with our first in studio episode! Marissa sat down with our editor to discuss the current state of the market, the “September Surge”, and several free resources to assist you in your job search. 

Don’t worry – we’re already recording episodes for season 2 and will be back on the air soon. We can’t thank you enough for all of your support in season one and are looking forward to serving this incredible community next season.
