How Parents Can Help Kids Navigate Their Job Search


Listen Later

How can you support the young adult in your life as they embark on the first steps of their career? Gen Z is coming of age in a strange new world, and that can make it tricky to figure out how to help them. My guest on this episode, Beth Hendler-Grunt, founded Next Great Step to help ease this transition. Using approaches grounded in psychology and her own background in sales, Beth and her team support thousands of young adults (and their parents!) to gain confidence in their skills and land their first jobs out of school.

Uncover tools to help the young adult in your life through the modern job search process, including:

  • How to understand the unique challenges this generation faces in today’s job market;
  • Modulate your expectations to balance patience, support, and trust;
  • Understand the inextricable link between sales and the job search;
  • And how to support a young adult whose career goals seem bound to fail.
