​[NEW PODCAST EPISODE] 30 YEARS LATER | THE GEN X CAREER MELTDOWN | Episode #11 SOLO EPISODE w Bradley Richardson

​

The Gen X Career Meltdown... and what we can do about it.

A Lot Has Changed in 30 Years...and it's not great for us. Here is what's changed AND what WE can do about it.

Episode #11 | Solo episode | Bradley Richardson, Creator, Advanced Adulting

The New York Times recently published an article about the "Gen X Career Meltdown", exposing how many of us should be at our professional peak, yet instead, we’re finding our skills outdated, our jobs unstable, and our careers in limbo. Sound familiar?

It's been 30 years since the release of my book, JobSmarts for TwentySomethings, the first career and business book written for Gen X as we were starting out.

Fast forward to today, WE are in our 40s and 50s, and the job market, workplace, and career paths have **drastically changed— and NOT ALL OF IT IS BETTER.

In this SOLO episode... the real guest is YOU. This episode is intended to spark YOUR comments and interaction.

I observe how the world of working and finding a job has changed since we entered the workforce, how it lines up with our expectations, AND most importantly, WHAT IT MEANS FOR US, WHAT WE CAN DO, and what a "career" looks like at midlife and beyond today.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences about your career and your opinions and observations on how things have changed and the STATE of working today at this age.

🔥 In This Episode, We Cover:

• How job searching has changed (and why the old ways don’t work anymore).
• The shift in workplace dynamics and what it means for Gen X.
• Technology’s impact on careers (are you keeping up or falling behind?).
• Why loyalty and experience don’t count like they used to.
• The hidden impact of ageism and how it’s affecting hiring and promotions.
• Why professionalism and work ethic don’t hold the same weight today.
• What Gen X’s SUPERPOWER is—and how to use it to our advantage
