In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Andre Jerry explores the growing uncertainty surrounding federal civil service in the wake of the recent DOGE layoffs — and what it means for government employees across the board.
As the idea of “job security” continues to shift, it’s more important than ever for federal workers to rethink their career strategy. From leveraging security clearances to transitioning into the private defense sector, Dr. Jerry breaks down actionable next steps for those who may be facing career instability — or simply looking for more autonomy and opportunity.
This episode also unpacks tools like LinkedIn, ClearanceJobs.com, and Indeed, offering practical insights on how to build visibility, expand your network, and stand out in a crowded job market.
As a secondary topic, Dr. Jerry dives into the idea of underconsumption — how it shapes hiring trends, stagnates economic mobility, and reshapes what the future of work might look like for professionals across sectors.
Whether you’re rethinking your current role, prepping for a pivot, or just trying to make sense of it all — this one’s for you.
