Summary:
According to Forbes, only 30% of new grads in 2025 are working in a field related to their degree — down from 41% just a year ago. The job market is tough, but it’s not hopeless. In this episode of the 2Talented Podcast, we share our best advice for new graduates stepping into the workforce for the first time.

We’ll cover how to stand out when all you have to offer is potential, how to build a strong resume and LinkedIn profile, and why applying broadly (even if you’re not a 100% match) matters. Plus, we’ll talk about getting away from your computer to build real connections — from coffee chats to networking events — and why early in your career, experience and growth matter more than chasing top-dollar offers.

As always, we’ll start with our latest running and business updates before diving into real-world strategies that help new grads get noticed, get hired, and start building momentum in their careers.
