Is 2025 the HARDEST year EVER to get a job?
In this episode of The Working Week with entrepreneur Ben Askins - With 1.5 million Britons and 7.1 million people in the US hunting for work - Ben tackles the reasons behind why our job market is so brutal right now.
Ben is joined by Shoshanna Davis, also known as The Fairy Job Mother, best known for empowering young people with career, work and job advice.
You’ll get Ben’s unfiltered take on the truth behind the most ridiculous job descriptions, his best advice for job seeker success, his harsh take on poor recruitment etiquette, and a few laughs along the way!
Whether you’re an applicant struggling to land a role, or you run a company or business in need of a recruitment shake up, this one’s for you!
