The entry-level job market is bad! Crowd: “How bad is it?” It’s so bad that journalism majors are having an easier time finding work than computer science grads.

Despite a strong overall job market, recent grads are getting squeezed. “Entry-level” roles now require experience, companies have slashed college recruiting programs, and AI is replacing a lot of junior work entirely. But why is this happening? And what can new grads do about

Candidate Experience sucks right now. That’s it. That’s the show. If you think back to 2021, when the job market was on fire, it was top of mind for everyone. Not just LinkedIn think pieces, but companies poured lots of time and effort into white-glove interview interview processes. Now that the market cooled off, so did the effort. But there’s a disconnect: attracting talent isn’t any easier right now. In fact, it’s harder when you inadvertently cut corners. Jeff Smith and James Hornick
