How to Use Your First Job to Build Career Skills

In this episode of The First Job Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore a practical framework for identifying and building transferable career skills in your first job. They discuss the 'skill stack' concept, using a real example of a recent grad who turned a data entry role into a data analyst position by systematically documenting and expanding her skills. Lucas breaks down the three skill categories every early-career professional should focus on: technical, domain-specific, and soft skills. Luna shares how she applied this framework in her first job at a marketing agency, learning SEO and content strategy. The hosts also touch on the importance of aligning skill-building with company needs and how to track progress without burning out.
