So many Gen Z job seekers today are smart, qualified, and motivated — yet struggling to break into the workforce. Despite applying to hundreds of roles, many receive rejections or, worse, silence. Why? Because the rules of hiring have changed. Job readiness looks different now. Communication expectations are shifting. AI, hybrid work, and shrinking mentoring structures have created a new environment where traditional applications aren’t enough — and confidence, clarity, and career strategy matter more than ever.
In this episode, we explore the real reasons behind the Gen Z hiring challenge — from skills gaps and unrealistic expectations to new hiring filters and employer perceptions. We also dive deep into one of the biggest differentiators in today’s career landscape: networking. We discuss why networking is no longer optional, how Gen Z can build meaningful professional relationships, and how visibility, mentorship, and social capital can open doors long before a job is advertised.
Joining me is Michael Forman, networking expert and career strategist, who shares practical, accessible ways early-career talent can build meaningful connections, expand visibility, and tap into the hidden job market. Together, we explore how networking, mentorship, and relationship capital can accelerate careers long before a role is advertised — and why mastering these skills may be the game-changer Gen Z needs now.
