• What Every New Graduate Needs To Hear In 2026
    2026/06/18
    Why does it feel harder than ever to land a job after graduation? In this episode of The Work Hotline, Sho Dewan (@workhap) breaks down why recent grads are facing the highest unemployment rate in about a decade, with over 41% underemployed in jobs that don’t even require their degree. The truth is, the ladder didn’t disappear, it broke. Companies aren’t cutting jobs, they’re just hiring more experienced people and leaving entry-level roles flat. So Sho shares 3 things every new grad can actually control right now: building proof of work instead of just another resume, ditching the “apply to everything” approach for a more strategic search, and letting go of the pressure to find the “perfect” first job. Plus, he answers real calls from listeners feeling behind, overwhelmed, and unsure if they’re failing or just new: “Am I actually behind, or does it just feel that way?” Remember that your first job isn’t proof of your worth. It’s just the entry point. Subscribe to Workhap: www.youtube.com/workhap Pre-order Sho’s Get Hired book: www.workhap.com/book Want to be featured in our next episode?

  • Why Nobody Is Retiring Anymore
    2026/06/11
    Why are so many people rethinking retirement? In this episode of The Work Hotline, Sho Dewan (your Work Hype Man, former recruiter, and founder of Workhap) dives into a surprising trend: 61% of Americans say they don't plan to fully retire anymore. Instead of the traditional "work until 65 and stop," more people are choosing consulting, freelancing, passion projects, part-time work, and second careers. Retirement is evolving from an ending into something much more flexible. Sho breaks down the cultural shift happening around retirement, why more people are redefining work later in life, and what younger generations can learn from it right now. Plus, he answers real calls from listeners navigating career transitions, burnout, and the question many professionals are quietly asking themselves: "What do I actually want my life to look like?" Because maybe success was never meant to be one straight line, maybe you're allowed to evolve.
