College to Career: A Conversation for Parents Navigating the Transition Too

College to Career: A Conversation for Parents Navigating the Transition Too

Jodi Murnick is a certified coach with 25 years of experience in recruiting, sales, brand management, and consulting. Her background spans startups, Fortune 500 companies, and boutique agencies, and she brings the added perspective of a mom of three. Jodi works with college students, recent grads, and young professionals to strengthen their storytelling, networking, and job search strategy while helping parents support the process without overstepping. Known for her warm, candid approach, she blends marketing expertise, coaching tools, and real-world insight to help young adults navigate an unpredictable job market and step confidently into what comes next.

The transition from college to career has never been more confusing—for young adults and their parents. In this conversation, we’ll look behind the curtain of today’s hiring landscape: why the average job search now takes 20.6 weeks, how AI is changing entry-level work, and what skills employers value most in emerging talent. You’ll learn why networking beats résumés, how to turn LinkedIn into a meaningful showcase (not a checklist), and why curiosity is the new competitive edge.

We’ll explore the delicate parent-grad dynamic—what to say, what not to say, and how to support their growth without fueling friction. Expect practical tips, real stories, and doable weekly actions that help your young adult build momentum while helping you sleep a little better.
