Is the job search really getting harder, or does it only feel that way? In Episode 4, Annabell and Bri look beyond the personal sting of rejection and examine what the Geneva labour-market data actually says. Registered unemployment has risen, almost 13,000 people are now registered as unemployed, and the average elapsed duration has passed seven months.
The figures confirm that candidates are navigating a genuinely more difficult market—but what should we do with that information? From staying present and protecting our sense of professional value to abandoning application strategies that no longer work, we discuss control, creativity, the mysterious “hidden job market” and why giving up can sometimes mean giving up only the old way of doing things. Plus: a disputed Eckhart Tolle recommendation, horseback riding and a dangerously bright crème brûlée glimmer.
