Episode 32: How to get your first job

Gen Nows, get your notebooks/iPads ready! This week I sit down with Laurie Anne Nilo - who runs the Post College Journey blog and aims to help recent college grads land their first job. She specializes in comms/marketing - but as we discuss in the episode, you kind of have to adapt the marketing perspective no matter what type of job you're applying to. We talk about how to make your resume stand out in a sea of entry-level applicants, how to rock an interview and why you should always job hunt with a purpose. Once you're done the episode, join the #generationnow community by following @generationnowpodcast on Instagram or @generationnowpodcast on Pinterest.

@kindredtext question of the episode: Do you think the image you have of yourself matches the image other people have of you?
