52:38Now PlayingThe headlines about this job market are frightening, and the advice often feels contradictory, particularly for young people. Sarah sits down with professor Kim Miller — who taught both of us at Transylvania — to talk honestly about what is actually happening and what you can do about it. We cover negotiation, the power of real relationships, and how to make yourself ready for opportunities you can't yet see.
Topics discussed:
• Why the job market feels so chaotic right now: AI, economic uncertainty, mass layoffs, and even retirees re-entering the workforce
• Negotiation as the skill nobody teaches you — and why it matters more than ever
• Building relationships instead of "networking," and graduating with at least one good mentor
• Getting work experience before you graduate, paid or unpaid
• How to handle a job offer: asking for 48 hours and negotiating beyond base salary
• Outside of Politics: Sarah opens Meander Bookshop in Paducah
