Looking for a job in a tough market? Jocelyn and Jade keep it real about what actually works—and what definitely doesn’t. Jocelyn shares how she lowballed herself in an interview and what that taught her about knowing your worth. They break down why blaming the job market is often just an excuse, the importance of tailoring your resume (yes, multiple versions), and how to use tools like ChatGPT to actually land interviews—not just write cute bios.

They also get into:

Why your salary expectations might not match your skillset
What “passive” job hunting looks like (and why it gets you nowhere)
How remote work could be hurting your promotion chances
The difference between job rejection and being the problem
And why being someone’s “B-roll friend” will have you catching a fade 😤

This one’s part career advice, part real talk, part chaos—and you’ll feel seen, dragged, and entertained all at the same time.
