About this episode

Halloween is right around the corner, so today we’re sharing some positively frightening job search stories from members of the Get Hired community. All to show you: no matter how frustrating or long your job search may be, you’re not alone!


Andrew is joined by Leah Smart, host of the LinkedIn News podcast In the Arena to dig into listener letters, including:

- A letter from listener Amy, whose interviewer was unprofessional and downright dismissive

- A letter from listener Chan, who experienced a hiring manager ghosting… while the company’s marketing team kept sending them “apply to this job!” emails.

- A letter from LinkedIn member Amber, whose experience on job sites as an infrastructure laborer proves why affinity groups and finding community in your industry is so important

- A call from listener Gertrude, whose first job out of college taught her never to accept the first offer without asking some pointed questions first.
