Description

Everyone says the job market is impossible right now — but the data tells a completely different story. In this episode of the Happen to Your Career Podcast, Scott breaks down why the job market isn't as bad as you've been told, what's actually making job searches harder, and what you can do today to stand out and land your ideal role.

 

What You'll Learn

  • Why the job market isn't actually bad — and how media headlines distort the real data.
  • How to see past job board "noise" and stop competing with thousands of applicants.
  • The hidden reason it feels hard to find a job (hint: it's not the economy).
  • Smarter strategies to land interviews without relying on "easy apply" buttons.
  • How top professionals create opportunities — often getting offers before they even apply.
