    Job Hunting in 2026? Honest Advice From a Designer and a Researcher

    13/12/2025 | 53 mins.
    It's tough out there. Whether you're fresh out of school, switching industries, or just trying to stand out in a sea of AI-generated applications, the job hunt in 2026 will be brutal.
    In this episode, Antonija sits down with ⁠⁠Sohvi Silius⁠⁠, User Insights Lead and fellow colleague, to share honest, no-fluff advice on CVs, interviews, LinkedIn, and everything in between.
    What we cover:
    Why the one-page CV rule is outdated
    How to describe your experience without sounding like a robot
    The "biggest weakness" question (and what to actually say)
    Why your summer job matters less than your 10 years of competitive sports
    How to network without feeling sleazy
    LinkedIn: trash bin or secret weapon?
    How recruiters spot AI-written applications instantly
    Standing out when everyone uses the same tools
    Why your grandpa had it easier (and what to do about it)
    Being yourself in a professional setting (yes, jokes are allowed)
    Key takeaway: It's all storytelling. Every experience, hobby, failure, and weird side project can become a case study if you frame it right.
