About Guidance Counselor 2.0

Guidance Counselor 2.0 is a career show with the feel of a live community stream and the focus of a practical job-search clinic. It moves quickly. The opening stretch often includes chat greetings, meetups, sponsor mentions, newsletter reminders, and loose backstage banter before the conversation settles into the working problem of the day. Recent episodes spend a lot of time where career anxiety is currently concentrated: AI, recruiters, fake resumes, ghost jobs, layoffs, salary expectations, and developer skill-building. The tone is friendly, but it does not sand off the frustrating parts of the market. A solo episode on recruiters turns into a tactical map of how candidates can ask better questions about resumes, LinkedIn profiles, salary range, and follow-up cadence. The recruiter conversations get even more specific. Richie Lampani talks through applicant overload, fake resumes, and why the job search can feel like shared suffering across levels. Steven Evans appears in a market-focused episode around AI resumes, ghost jobs, and the state of hiring. The AI run is a major recent thread. Nader Dabit, Growth at Cognition, appears in a conversation about leveling up a career with AI, while Aaron Francis joins for a broader discussion of AI and career direction. These episodes do not treat social feeds as reality. They try to separate genuine market shifts from the feeling that everyone else is already ahead. The show also returns to old-school career fundamentals. John Gates appears for salary negotiation, and Will King, Design Engineer, joins a layoff-focused episode that turns toward building in public, learning by dissecting real products, and creating useful work before a job opportunity appears. Guidance Counselor 2.0 works best for listeners who like advice with visible fingerprints on it. It is not a sterile career seminar. It is a running conversation among job seekers, recruiters, developers, and community regulars trying to make sense of work in real time.

Made for: The show is for job seekers, developers, career switchers, and hiring-minded operators who want grounded guidance on resumes, recruiters, AI, layoffs, and salary conversations. It especially suits listeners who like informal live energy paired with concrete next steps.

What sets it apart: Guidance Counselor 2.0 stands out because it treats career development as a community conversation, not a lecture. The chat, meetups, text questions, and recruiter relationships are part of the product, giving the advice a current-market texture.

In their own words

We had guidance counselors in middle school, high school, and sometimes college. However when we need it the most in our professional careers, we have no one to turn to. This podcast is a resource for not only job seekers but for companies & hiring managers to help scale their organizations. I interview job seekers who have had a tremendous amount of success finding jobs and hiring managers/leaders in organizations who are doing it the 'right way' when it comes to leadership and scaling their organizations.

As heard by us

Based on 5 episodes we listened to · September 2026

Concrete questions, visible work and patient relationship-building turn an opaque job search into a more manageable professional process.

Guidance Counselor 2.0 treats the job search as a set of working relationships rather than an application-counting exercise. The host moves between solo guidance and guest conversations, asking how candidates can become memorable to recruiters, demonstrate useful skills and…

Best episodes of Guidance Counselor 2.0

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Episode 508 - Finding Your Next Job w/ Recruiter Richie LampaniMar 2, 2026

A recruiter chat that treats job hunting like a noisy market, not a tidy process.

This episode pairs the host with Richie for a blunt look at the current job hunt, with the engineering community the show has built over the years still at the center.

Episode 507 - What To do If You Were Laid Off Today w/ Will King, Design EngineerDec 12, 2025

A job-search conversation that becomes a practical playbook for staying employable.

Guidance Counselor 2.0 turns backstage family chaos into a grounded career conversation about what to build, how to show taste, and why targeted learning matters more than wandering side projects.

Episode 506 - Navigating Recruiters - Solo ShowDec 8, 2025

A practical episode on turning recruiter conversations into sharper job-search feedback.

Recruiters come through as a practical, often underused source of job-search intelligence. The episode frames them as people who see resumes and LinkedIn profiles daily, then turns that access into a set of usable questions for candidates.

Episode 501 - How to Network on LinkedIn - Solo Show

A practical case for building LinkedIn visibility around a specific skill through steady, thoughtful activity.

LinkedIn networking is treated as a practical extension of normal social behavior, moving from posting about React to liking and commenting on other people's posts, then placing that exchange alongside a meetup or conference introduction.

Episode 513 - Everything's Broken w/ Mike Peditto

A practical discussion of online familiarity, networking, and making a resume earn quick attention.

This episode frames networking as something built slowly, not something switched on at a formal event. Mike's path runs through TikTok comments, longer conversation, a LinkedIn connection, and eventually a referral when a role opens.
