It’s the end of season one of The Layoff podcast, and we celebrated with our first in studio episode! Marissa sat down with our editor to discuss the current state of the market, the “September Surge”, and several free resources to assist you in your job search.  Don’t worry – we’re already recording episodes for season 2 and will be back on the air soon. We can’t thank you enough for all of your support in season one and are looking forward to serving this incredible community next season.  State of market sources https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/04/economy/july-jobs-report-final/index.html https://careercloud.com/current-state-of-the-job-market/#:~:text=The%20labor%20force%20participation%20rate%20ticked%20up%20to%2062.8%25%20after,point%20to%203.8%25%20in%20July. https://apnews.com/article/unemployment-jobs-labor-economy-layoffs-f69a8feeff8611766588eef2d51f29bb September surge sources https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-september-surge-ayanna-e-jackson/ https://news.yahoo.com/black-women-ahead-september-surge-173000490.html https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/september-surge-tips-37299879 Content Creators: Cinneah El-Amin with Flynanced LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/cinneahelamin/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/fly.nanced/ Christian Lovell with Careers by Chris Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/careersbychris/ Tori Dunlap with Herfirst100k LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/toridunlap/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/herfirst100k/ Julie Harris with Stilbe LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-a-harris/ Stilbe - https://www.linkedin.com/company/stilbe/ Faith Saenz LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/faith-saenz-5559a386/ NeuroTalent Consulting - https://www.linkedin.com/company/neurotalent-consulting/ Alan Stein LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanjstein/ Kadima Careers - https://www.linkedin.com/company/kadimacareers/ Sara Flip LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahflip/ Win Every Interview - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wineveryinterview/ Dan Goodman LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-goodman2001/ TruCommish - https://www.linkedin.com/company/trucommish/ To connect with our guest for an opportunity or to apply to be featured on the show visit us at www.thelayoffpod.com.  To support the show you can follow us on Linkedin, Facebook, and Instagram.
