FutureProof You

In this episode, Aaron Makelky, Dan Yu, and John Lovig cover how to navigate layoffs, whether you're watching them happen around you or going through one yourself.

Dan shares the numbers: over 1.1 million layoffs in 2025, a 54% jump year-over-year, making it the worst since COVID and the 2008 financial crisis. Tech, telecom, retail, airlines, and food service have all been hit. Amazon, Verizon, IBM, Starbucks, Meta, Microsoft, and UPS have made cuts, and seasonal hiring is down by about half compared to previous years.

The hosts offer practical advice for those seeing colleagues get let go. Dan recommends downloading your contacts, performance reviews, and any kudos emails while you still have access. These documents become critical when job searching. John emphasizes starting to network before you need to: coffee chats, reaching out to recruiters, or posting content on LinkedIn. Aaron's mental test: ask yourself what you'd wish you were doing right now if it had been you on that list.

John introduces the concept of "layoff fatigue"—the psychological and emotional toll of either enduring a prolonged job search or surviving multiple rounds of cuts at your company. The hosts discuss how this fatigue shows up in interviews (recruiters can spot cynicism immediately) and offer strategies for combating it, including finding joy outside of work, getting accountability partners, and maintaining perspective on what's actually within your control.

The episode wraps with a discussion on outplacement services—what they actually provide, the right questions to ask, and how to maximize their value, including the tip to pause services during slow hiring periods like the holidays.

FutureProof You Podcast — EP 18: “Seasons of Hiring”

One‑liner

When should a job seeker push hard versus play the long game? Aaron Makelky, John Lovig, and Dan Yu map the hiring year—late summer slowdown, Q4 surge, bonus-season churn, and spring steadiness—and give a practical playbook for each.

TL;DR Takeaways

• Late summer is slower (vacations, back‑to‑school), so expect longer response times—use the window to upgrade the profile, post consistently, and pre-seed networking for September.

• Signals that the market’s waking up: more job postings, noticeable LinkedIn activity, and companies hiring recruiters (hiring follows recruiters).

• Q4 moves fast: “use‑it‑or‑lose‑it” budgets, pockets of holiday slowdowns—win with “politeful pestering,” clear availability, and transparent timing across parallel processes.

• Year‑end to Q1: bonus visibility and payouts trigger candidate movement; January is quiet, then momentum builds—by March through May, hiring is steady and planned.

• Always be networking and creating social proof (content, recommendations); the work done today often pays off quarters later.

Chapter Guide

• 00:00 — Welcome + why “seasons of hiring” matter

• 01:07 — Late summer slowdown: vacations, back‑to‑school, two‑week decision drag

• 02:30 — What to do now: still apply to active roles, and always apply on the company site (ATS searchable)

• 04:05 — Signs of the turn: more postings, more LinkedIn activity, recruiter job counts as a health gauge

• 05:24 — Q4 dynamic: budgets, “use it or lose it,” and holiday slowdowns to plan around

• 07:08 — Content still works in “dead zones” (algorithms serve later); prep for the fall push

• 08:30 — Natural holiday networking + plotting the rest of the year

• 09:16 — Client win: from placeholder profile to offer in ~60 days through optimization + posting

• 12:00 — Social proof: help your network (and yourself) with better profiles and recommendations

• 17:20 — October tactics: “time kills all deals,” sequence outreach to newly hired recruiters

• 19:19 — “Politeful pestering,” follow‑ups, and being mindful of varied holiday calendars

• 20:32 — Share real timing across processes to create urgency (without games)

• 22:00 — “Sell to the no”: fast no beats a slow maybe

• 23:03 — Bonus season timing: when movement spikes and how to plan

• 24:33 — Q1/Q2 cadence: January quiet → March–May steady, with quarterly headcount plans

• 27:03 — The long game: groundwork in Q3 pays off in Q4/Q1/Q2

• 28:00 — Parting mindset: network when you have a job as if you don’t

The Seasonal Playbook

Late Summer (now → early September)

• Expect slower scheduling; keep applying where signals are active (recent views, engaged recruiters).

• Always apply on the corporate site in addition to Easy Apply to get searchable in the ATS.

• Post consistently—algorithms will surface good content when the audience returns.

• Pre‑seed September: identify target teams, warm up intros, and reconnect with recruiters.

Fall/Q4 (late September → mid‑December)

• Budgets drive urgency; hiring velocity increases.

• Sequence outreach to newly hired recruiters: congrats note → light check‑in week 2/3 → request informational.

• “Politeful pestering”: short, specific follow‑ups with ready‑to‑book availability to reduce friction.

• Be transparent about timelines if in mid‑rounds elsewhere; it gives partners permission to accelerate.

• Plan around holiday gaps (e.g., Thanksgiving week and other cultural/faith calendars).

Year‑End/Bonus Season (late Dec → Q1)

• Understand bonus timing in the target industry; movement often starts at visibility, spikes post‑payout.

• If moving, get pipelines warmed ahead of payout so interviews land just‑in‑time.

Q1/Q2 (Jan → May)

• January is quiet but directional; executive and strategic hires form early.

• By March–May, hiring is steady and planned across quarterly headcount—network before roles post.

Social Proof & Profile Moves

• Upgrade from “placeholder” to discoverable: banner, headline, outcomes in experience, relevant skills, and consistent posting.

• Give and request recommendations to create undeniable social proof.

• “Conference commando” strategy: follow speakers, send thoughtful pre‑event DMs, and be top‑of‑mind offline.

Power Lines to Steal

• “Time kills all deals.”

• “Politeful pestering.”

• “Sell to the no.”

• “Use‑it‑or‑lose‑it budgets.”

• “The algorithm will serve good content when the audience returns.”

AI tools like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT are improving at a breakneck pace, sometimes feeling like they get better week by week, or even day by day. What does this rapid rate of change mean for your career, especially if you're job hunting, considering a pivot, or were recently laid off?

Join Aaron Makelky, Dan Yu, and John Lovig as they tackle this head-on. They discuss the startling acceleration of AI capabilities, moving from "eager intern" needing supervision to powerful assistants requiring minimal checks [00:01:50]. Learn the real implications for jobs traditionally focused on "handling things" (admins, VAs, paralegals) and why re-skilling with AI tools isn't just advice, it's essential [00:02:30].

The team dives into practical strategies: understand the "data moat" – why sticking with one AI tool can be smarter than chasing the newest model due to your built-in context and history [00:03:15]. Explore the alternative multi-tool approach and the power of integrating AI with your existing workflows, like connecting Google Drive to Perplexity [00:04:00].

Plus, get insights into the future of AI hardware integration [00:06:15] and a crucial breakdown of free vs. paid AI – what you're really paying for often isn't just features, but vital data privacy and control [00:07:40]. Get actionable advice to navigate the AI landscape and take control of your career today!

Key Topics Discussed:

• [00:00:45] The accelerating pace of AI improvements (Claude, Gemini examples).
• [00:01:50] AI evolving from "eager intern" to highly capable assistant needing less oversight.
• [00:02:30] Real-world implications for administrative, VA, paralegal roles.
• [00:02:50] Why it's not AI replacing you, but people using AI. The urgent need to re-skill.
• [00:03:15] Understanding the "Data Moat": The value of your history and context in a single AI tool (like ChatGPT).
• [00:04:00] Integrating AI with existing workflows (e.g., Perplexity + Google Drive).
• [00:04:25] The potential for team collaboration with shared AI context.
• [00:05:00] Balancing the "Data Moat" vs. using multiple AI tools for specific tasks.
• [00:06:15] The future of AI: Hardware integration (Apple example) and embedded context.
• [00:06:50] Trust, data privacy, and the "Big Brother" concerns with ubiquitous AI.
• [00:07:40] Free vs. Paid AI Tiers: What you gain (data control, opting out of model training, deletion policies).
• [00:08:30] Comparing AI data privacy policies (e.g., Google vs. Perplexity Enterprise Pro).
• [00:10:15] The value of understanding these nuances for everyday users.
