Class of 2026: Navigating the Hiring Reset and Getting Hired Anyway

Feeling stuck after graduation isn’t a failure — it’s a hiring reset. This episode explains why entry-level roles have tightened (a “stasis economy”), where hiring is still strong (healthcare and life sciences, AI infrastructure and cybersecurity, renewable energy, and government/infrastructure), and why translating your skills into adjacent industries matters more than changing majors. Learn a practical strategy: add one credible “plus-one” technical or semi-technical skill to become a hybrid candidate, target sectors that are actively hiring, and use resources like MyHECS (JOBS26 coaching and career roadmaps) and the upcoming Empower Coach app to tailor resumes, prep interviews, and map a realistic path forward.
