The Job Market Just Changed. Here's What To Do About It.

CEO confidence data and job market trends for 2026, explained by a recruiter with 20 years of experience at Amazon, FedEx, and Korn Ferry. For the first time in the history of the Conference Board CEO survey, more CEOs are planning to cut their workforce than grow it. 31% plan layoffs in the next six months. Only 28% plan to hire. This video breaks down what that data actually means, why it is not just an AI story, and what to do about it right now before the call comes. This is not a video about being paranoid. It is a video about being ready. The work environment is changing fast and the people who come out of this period well are the ones who stayed prepared while everyone else assumed things would go back to normal. 0:00 -The Conference Board data — what CEOs are actually planning 1:45 - For the first time ever, more layoffs than hiring 3:21 - The canary in the coal mine — watch the recruiters 6:06 - Why it's not just AI 8:51- What I'd actually do right now 10:35- Keep your resume ready before you lose access 14:15 - Networking only works before you need it START HERE — FREE TRAINING 🎯 Free 1.5-Hour Webinar: How to Become the CEO of Your Career Learn how hiring really works, how to take control of your job search, and how to stop playing defense in your career. 👉 https://event.webinarjam.com/register...

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL I spent 20 years as a corporate recruiter hiring thousands of people into companies like Amazon, FedEx, Korn Ferry, and ABB. I teach what actually happens inside the hiring process — not what sounds good on LinkedIn. If you are applying and hearing nothing back, getting interviews but not offers, or quietly planning your exit — you are in the right place. This channel covers how recruiters really evaluate candidates, why doing everything right still fails, and how to build a career that gives you options. No hustle culture. No generic advice.
