Careers Matter: College to Career Coaching for Students & Parents

arts · EN-US

Landing that first internship or job offer isn't luck, it's a skill, one most students (and parents) are never taught. Careers Matter pulls back the curtain on how companies actually hire, straight from the people who make the decisions. Host Kathy Spillane, a career coach and recruiting expert with 20+ years of experience, sits down each week with campus recruiting and talent acquisition leaders from top companies to reveal what it really takes to stand out in a workforce being reshaped by AI. Whether you're a college student trying to break into financial services, tech, consulting, marketing, or another industry, or a parent trying to make sense of a job market that looks nothing like the one you graduated into, this show gives you the insider playbook. Episodes cover how companies actually hire, from internship programs and intern-to-full-time conversion rates, to networking, personal branding, skills-based hiring, and the growing role of AI in recruiting. <
