·32 min·1 clip

When trauma comes up during interviews, we regulate your emotions so you can be present.

Jane Jackson welcomes back Dr. Kyle Elliott, a Silicon Valley-based trauma-informed career coach, for the first interview in six years. They discuss how the job market has shifted since COVID, making it harder and longer to find roles. The conversation pivots to Kyle's unique approach of incorporating trauma awareness into career coaching, helping job seekers regulate emotions triggered by past professional experiences. They explore how AI has depersonalized hiring while paradoxically making the process more frustrating, and Kyle shares strategic approaches to using AI as a tool rather than a shortcut.
