Struggling to get experience when every job requires it?

In this episode of the Career Intelligence Podcast, Betsy Jewell sits down with Jeffrey Moss, Founder and CEO of Parker Dewey, to break down the reality of today’s early career job market—and what students and recent grads can do about it.

They discuss the growing gap between internship demand and supply, why traditional hiring signals like GPA and school no longer matter as much, and how micro-internships and project-based work are changing the way students gain experience and get hired.

You’ll also learn how to build proof of work, take ownership of your job search, and create opportunities instead of waiting for them.

Whether you’re a college student, recent graduate, or parent, this episode offers practical strategies to stand out in a competitive job market.
