  • Helpful, but a little out of touch

    I really appreciate all the helpful insight and resources offered by your podcast, but I feel it’s often missing the mark as the current job market is so fraught with unique challenges that are not always reflected in your conversations. I’d like to see less subjective advice and more concrete tips about how to survive and navigate the current economic reality in 2026.

  • Disappointed😔

    Just disappointed by your guest Nikki Schutte!

    Quote:

    “It’s really hard to get to know somebody through a first interview or even a second or third interview. And I think that we all want to rely on things that help us make the right decision … [by] another interaction that somebody might have had with that person.”

    If that’s the case, then please tell the thousands of job seekers why post the job online and make us go through the entire process of resume submission, screening, and multiple ... more

  • Career advice from a good “friend”

    I don’t now Mac Prichard, but when I listen to the Find Your Dream Job podcast, I feel like I'm listening to a caring and insightful friend—and it calms me right down. It’s my #1 go-to podcast for up-to-date career advice, and it’s just a delightful podcast in general.

  • In my top 10 of career podcasts

    Although I still believe that the “dream job” is a myth, listening to this podcast is helping me dream of a great a job and a purposeful career. Each episode has an encouraging perspective. Mac also has a great voice for radio. His voice reminds me of Casey Kasem, which is soothing and nostalgic for me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Find Your Career Purpose, with Erin Thomas
Q: What are the practical steps to get started in identifying values and essence and applying them to job search goals?
She outlines a multi-step approach starting with values, then identifying core essence, followed by strengths and motivations, and finally addressing head garbage to craft an overlayed personal story for targeted job search.
How to Find Your Career Purpose, with Erin Thomas
Q: Why is it important to be clear about career purpose and set job search goals at all?
Erin explains that being clear helps reduce stress during transitions and prevents chasing vague opportunities; it also turns job search into a strategic process using data points about yourself and the market.
Why You Don’t Need to Meet All the Job Requirements, with Eric B. Horn
Q: How should you address a lack of qualifications during an interview?
Do not expose weaknesses without prompting; lead with your strengths, and if asked about gaps, present a plan and timeline for acquiring the missing skills.
Why You Don’t Need to Meet All the Job Requirements, with Eric B. Horn
Q: What about applying without a college degree when it's listed as a requirement?
Experience can trump a degree in some cases; if you have substantial relevant experience, you may still be considered, and if not, pursue the degree or certifications and reapply later.
Why You Don’t Need to Meet All the Job Requirements, with Eric B. Horn
Q: What should you do if you have only 60-70% of the qualifications?
Print the job description and your resume side by side, view the description from the employer's perspective, and identify why they want each requirement while highlighting matching strengths and how to fill gaps.
