The Jobseeker's Guide To The Galaxy
The Jobseeker's Guide To The Galaxy is for, with and about people experiencing job loss, or coming back from a career break, trying to navigate the challenging job market of today.
I started this podcast after my role was made redundant early 2024, around the same time my mother was dying and life seemed to fall apart.
On this podcast I will talk to jobseeker's as well as recruiters and hiring managers. They will all share their personal stories and share tips/ideas/recommendations for you.
Every episode will have something for you to take with you on your job-hunt.
Episodes released weekly.
Let's share our experiences to help others going through this.
