05: Check Your Employment Privilege (with Rachel Drane)
Things get a little sentimental as Martin revels in the post-Thanksgiving bliss to tell the world what he's thankful for. (Hint: It's you)
Then we sit down with Rachel Drane, host of the podcast Putting Out With Rachel, to talk about her article in Technic.Ly Philly begging for employers to have some empathy when dealing with applicants. We talk about the hazards of networking, the little-stated positive aspects of unemployment, and what happens when the person in charge of hiring you goes on vacation.

04: I Can't Get The Experience Until I Have The Experience (with Maggie Douglas)
On this episode of Why Won't You Hire Me, we're talking about leaving jobs - whether that's a 10-month process of finding a new position, or retiring from football in the middle of a game. Martin explains why he thinks Vontae Davis' halftime retirement was a good move, and then talks to Maggie Douglas about her longstanding search to leave her job. Maggie's a writer and editor in the Austin, TX area currently working Admissions at UT Austin. She comes by to talk with us about the struggle with gaining experience, looking for jobs while working, seeing university from the inside, and a little bit about the new Spider-Man PS4 game.

02: Can I Get A Break For One Week? (with Chris Cunningham)
This episode, Martin shares a job interview story from an obvious scam, and is joined in studio by his oldest friend, Chris Cunningham. Chris is a composer-turned-event-planner in the Bay Area who recently left a position with NASA and is currently pursuing work in the Event Management/Event Sales field. Chris and Martin talk about the decision to leave a "cool" job, the obsession with jobs as value status, turning your hobby into a job, and the reasons to skip your high school reunion.
(And yes, that picture is us as small children. I'm the blonde one.)
