The Job Market, Decoded. Part 4: Come Here, Sit Down

Send us Fan Mail"Lauren. Is it going to get better?"I have dodged that question for about a year. I've given the diplomatic answer, I've given the data answer, and both of those were a coward's way out.So here is the honest one. No, I don't think "better" is coming, not the way you're picturing it. And no, I don't think you need it to.This one is less of a lesson and more of a conversation. I'm not teaching anything for the first ten minutes. I'm just going to talk to you, and some of it you are not going to like.What we get into:The 410 applicants nobody could hire, and the sentence from that hiring manager I still cannot shakeWhy almost every piece of job search advice you have been given assumes the exact opposite of what is actually happeningThe thing some of you are doing that you're calling persistence, and what it actually isWhy unemployment went DOWN this year and why that is not good newsWhether five months of no is evidence that it's you (it is not, and I explain exactly why)The single move that removes the most reasons to say no, and it costs you one sentenceEverything from four episodes comes down to one idea:They are not looking for a reason to say yes. They are drowning, and they are looking for a reason to say no.Take away their reasons. That is the whole season.FREE: The Offer Closer Kit.
