  • 4 strategies for overcoming a lack of experience in your job search

    4 strategies for overcoming a lack of experience in your job search
    Mar 11 2025
    Employers almost always prefer to hire candidates with experience, even for roles that they consider to be entry-level. Why? Because their risk of hiring the candidate is lower than their risk of hiring a candidate with little to no experience. But if you have no experience, how do you get it? In short, the question isn't right. You do have experience. Everyone does. You have transferable skills from jobs that might, at first glance, not seem related to the job you're now pursuing. Some of those skills may come from other jobs, others from volunteering efforts, and others from classwork. Your job is to inventory your skills, figure out which ones might be relevant to the employer, and then market those skills to that employer. In today's episode, our cohosts first, emphasize actively gaining experience through paid work or volunteering. Second, include all relevant experience, such as volunteer work and academic projects, on resumes and in interviews. Third, showcase your valuable soft skills to compensate for limited experience. Finally, pursue additional training to address any skill gaps. Overlaying the entire process is that job seekers need to objectively consider the skills they've developed, how they're communicating those to potential employers, and acquiring those that are missing. It is up to you to get the experience you need, not a potential employer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Employers love, love, love to hire candidates with foreign language skills

    Employers love, love, love to hire candidates with foreign language skills
    Mar 4 2025
    One of the most important skills in today's increasingly globalized economy is the ability to communicate in another language. Often, employers don't list that skill as a requirement or even preference and yet are far more likely to hire the candidate with that skill set if aware of it. Experts explain that these skills demonstrate initiative, cultural sensitivity, and a well-rounded personality, making candidates stand out. Even if a job doesn't explicitly require a specific language, possessing such skills signals valuable attributes to employers. Our cohosts encourage candidates to highlight their language abilities on resumes and in interviews but to honestly assess their proficiency level. It's not about being perfect. It's about being willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to use all of your skills to make yourself as productive as possible for your next employer. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • How college students and recent grads can create their own job

    How college students and recent grads can create their own job
    Feb 25 2025
    Almost all students and recent graduates want to be employed, but does that always mean that someone else needs to hire you? No. Another option is to become self-employed by starting your own venture. It is one thing to say that you want to start your own business. It is another thing entirely to come up with a good idea for that business, and yet another thing to execute on that idea. Today's episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast focuses on how students and recent grads can create their own online businesses. Our cohosts emphasize a relatively quick turnaround time, suggesting business creation within 12 weeks. They encourage those seeking self-employment to leverage online platforms to generate income.
