Hard not to notice how rough the economic outlook feels right now. Ongoing geopolitical issues, both domestic and international, have created a lot of uncertainty, and that uncertainty is bleeding straight into corporate decision-making.

Instead of allocating funds toward new initiatives, hiring, or transformation work, a lot of companies seem to be in wait and see mode protecting cash, slowing investment, and deferring decisions. The downstream effect is obvious, when will job market improve?

This is so true! I also thought about this while scrolling my linkedin feed, so many people in my network open to work and asking their network for help after a long time of search. It is hard to tell when it will improve.

You’re not wrong. Hiring usually lags confidence, not headlines. Once budgets unlock and companies see a bit of stability, roles come back quickly, often before the news feels “better”. The prep you do now pays off when that switch flips.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
