ABOUT THIS EPISODE
There is a lot of pressure wrapped up in a first job.
Not just because it is your first proper step into work, but because it can feel like it’s deciding who you are going to become in the background. The strange thing is, most people are asked to make that decision before they have enough experience to know what they want. In this episode of The Future Is Human by Mews, host Ella McCann-Tomlin speaks with Alex Costa de Wit and Nina Gualdi about choosing a first role when the obvious path does not quite fit.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why the obvious career path is not always the right one to follow
- How to choose your first job when you are still figuring out what you want
- Why “what will I learn here?” can be a more useful question than “what will I be doing?”
- What a degree gives you when your career does not follow the field you studied
- Why first jobs feel so heavy, and how to think about them with more room and less panic
- How graduate programmes can help people grow horizontally, not just climb vertically
- Why AI in hiring can help candidates explain the story behind their CV when it is used thoughtfully
- How landing somewhere unexpected can still feel right when the learning opportunity is clear
Tune in for a conversation about early-career choice, unexpected paths and why the “right” first job might not be the most obvious one.
