  • Networking Strategy: Navigating the Job Market with Social Media
    Brittany advises, “Don't reach out to hiring managers unless you already know them.” Instead, connect with potential bosses or past colleagues. Arrange brief catch-ups to discuss your job search and seek referrals. Always ask, "Who else do you recommend I talk to?" Maintain regular contact to stay top of mind.

    Brittany highlights that trends such as #lazygirljob and #shiftshock reflect a shift from traditional work values. These trends foster inclusivity but challenge performance management. Employers must introspect and adapt, rewarding genuine contributions over popularity. As Gen Z enters the workforce, expect a push for authenticity and purpose in work, reshaping how companies engage and motivate employees.
