from The College to Careers Podcast · host efeldmanj

Feeling torn before you hit submit? Bree breaks down the Search Paradox and shows how to stop choosing the safest option and start choosing the roles that accelerate your story. Learn the 70/30 rule to target jobs that stretch you—and why being 100% qualified can actually stall your growth. Use the Triple‑A Test—Autonomy, Advancement, Alignment—to separate meaningful moves from shiny dead ends, understand the Iceberg Effect of hidden opportunities, and get practical next steps for positioning yourself as the solution employers need.
