Fresh Graduates Grapple With Unemployment

Fresh graduates have been struggling in the job market since the pandemic hit, whether it be with trying to make ends meet or securing a permanent position. We check in with them by first talking about what it is like being a graduate looking for a job during the pandemic. Then, we speak about how the last year changed hiring culture. And finally, we hear from a psychologist to get tips on staying sane when the job hunts get tough.
