Breaking into the job market can feel like a lot, especially when you’re trying to get everything “just right.” But what if the hardest part is simply getting started?

In this episode, career experts from NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development share practical guidance on navigating the modern job search. From working through perfectionism and actually hitting “apply,” to using AI strategically without losing your voice, they break down what really matters in resumes, cover letters, and interviews.

You’ll learn why you don’t need to meet every job qualification to apply, how to stand out in a way that feels authentic, and why the interview matters more than your resume.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure where to begin, or overwhelmed by options, this is a great place to start!

• The role of advocates and support people throughout the process

• What control survivors have, including the ability to pause or step back

• How NYPD approaches fears around immigration status, substance use, and more

• The rise of tech-facilitated sexual abuse and what it means today
