What's Working for Job Searches in 2025


Listen Later

It used to be the case that, if you were unhappy in your job, friends would tell you, "maybe it's time to look for a new job."

But these days, people will tell you "hang onto whatever you've got." Because a lot of people are getting burned in the current job market.

The job market in 2025 looks dramatically different from what it did 2 years (or even 12 months) ago.

So, if you're feeling stuck in your job – or going through a layoff – it might feel like you should be grateful for any job you can get.

Even if you love your job, you might be anxious about looming layoffs, hiring freezes, or rumors of a punishing return-to-office mandate.

This week on the podcast, I'm taking some of the uncertainty out of the current job market. I break down why so many talented women are spinning their wheels in this market. And I share the exact moves my clients are using to land better, more flexible roles right now.

This episode is for you if you're ready to stop waiting for the market to "get better," and start landing your next, best role.

What You'll Learn:

  • 5 key trends shaping the 2025 job market

  • The traditional job search strategy that is bombing in the age of AI

  • The networking mistake that you think is getting you referrals, but is leading nowhere

  • A key technique for finding the companies that line up with your values and work-life balance needs

  • …and a whole lot more

You'll walk away with clarity, focus, and a fresh sense of what's actually possible for you—no matter what the headlines say.
