As an executive recruiter, I’ve been having a lot of conversations with parents who are worried about their kids and what the job market will look like for them. So, in this episode, I’m going to share my thoughts on the prospects for careers and the job market for Gen Z, including the paths I’ve seen people taking to succeed, the common themes amongst successful students, and the opportunities that I see opening up.
Listen in to learn some of the key differences between how people go into and choose careers now based on how careers were chosen 20, 30, or 40 years ago. You will also get a glimpse into an event for practicing pitches that I judged and key things I observed about the winners. The options and decision-making when it comes to careers have changed so much over the last couple decades, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing!
