Job Market 2024: Challenge Accepted

Dive into the most frustrating—and frankly, broken—parts of today’s hiring practices …

Teaser! 5 Part Series Incoming

Hey everyone! It’s no secret that the job market in 2024 is… well, let’s just say, a challenge. Whether you’ve been hunting for months, drowning in applications, or scratching your head over confusing job descriptions, I’m right there with you.

That’s why I’m launching a 5-part series, “Job Market 2024: Challenge Accepted,” where I’ll dive into the most frustrating—and frankly, broken—parts of today’s hiring practices. From resumes that don’t get seen, to ghost job postings, to the ridiculous expectations within job descriptions… we’re going to break it all down.

Each part of this series will tackle a different issue, give you my take on what’s going on, and get the conversation started.

Key Points of the Series:

  1. We’ll talk about resumes that seem to disappear into the void—where are they going?!

  2. We’ll dive into the confusion of ghost job postings—are they even hiring?

  3. We’ll explore why job descriptions today feel more like wish lists.

  4. We’ll unpack the work-from-home vs. return-to-office debate—what do I prefer?

  5. And finally, we’ll tackle the unrealistic expectation of wearing too many hats—can one person really do it all?

So if you’re tired of the same old job search grind and ready for some real talk, stick with me for the next few weeks. We’re going to take a hard look at what’s broken in today’s job market—and what we can do about it. Stay tuned for the first part in the series, coming soon!

Let’s take on this challenge together!
