"UNHIREABLE"...the podcast
Do you feel stressed about picking a major or finding internship experiences? Does everyone else seem to have their life together and you don’t? Does it feel like they are on some path to success that you can’t seem to see? Like something is just missing? Preparing for early career is one of the hardest parts of navigating college, and school is not helping.
The UNHIREABLE podcast is an honest discussion on how college is failing to prepare students for early career success. We’re not pulling any punches. Hosted by Kevin Mihata, Matt Erickson, Liz Copland, Kiera Dempsey, and Maile Soo, an eclectic team including a social theorist, an employer partner liaison, a former academic advisor, and gen-z novice professionals. If you want to hear a roundtable discussion on college and early career topics that no one will talk about (or you’re just curious how many times we can get an associate dean to swear on camera), join us on YouTube or Spotify.
