Talent-Connect

The job market wasn't built for this generation.

And most of the advice out there still isn't either.

I sat down with ‌Jeremy Schifeling from The Job Insiders this week

Someone who has spent years helping students and grads navigate a world that keeps moving faster than the rulebook can keep up with.

One thing he said stuck with me.

It's okay to suck at something as long as you know what you're good at and you lean into that.

We got into what it actually takes to find your footing right now.

How to use AI to uncover roles that match who you are.

Why the big company name isn't the goal it's been made out to be.

And how to have the kind of conversations that actually open doors.

If you know a recent grad who's feeling the weight of it all right now, send this one their way.

70–80% of jobs are never posted.

They're filled through internal conversations.

Through someone mentioning your name. Through a resume that landed on a desk because three different people passed it along.

If you're only applying to what you can find on a job board, you're already behind.

The bigger problem is that most people's networking emails are killing their chances before they even start.

Leading with "I need a job" makes the person on the other end feel cornered and cornered people don't respond.

In this episode of Careering with Cameron I break down three outreach templates that actually get replies, the psychology behind why they work, and why three referrals into the same company is your cheat code around ATS entirely.
