FSU career expert shares how grads can stand out as hiring trends shift

  • June 2, 2026

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Just because companies are shifting how they hire doesn’t mean there are no jobs out there for recent grads; it simply means that the old playbook won’t work anymore.

To really catch an employer’s eye, you need to show off actual real-world experience, build a solid portfolio and let your human strengths shine.

Rob Liddell, Assistant Vice President at Florida State University’s Career Services, joined our Ava Van Valen to break down the new realities of entry-level jobs and how people can prepare.

Watch the full interview in the video above.
