Dr Adrian Parsadh | Expresso Show | The graduate job market in January

January brings hope, pressure, and a reality check, for graduates and job seekers entering the labour market.

In this Expresso Morning Show interview on SABC3, Dr Adrian Parsadh, Head of Career Leadership at Stellenbosch Business School, unpacks what the current job market is really telling us and how graduates can respond with resilience, adaptability, and the right mindset.

Drawing on labour market data and organisational behaviour research, Dr Parsadh explores:

The reality of graduate unemployment and competition

Why adaptability, resilience, and mindset matter more than ever

The growing gap between graduate expectations and employer needs

Why experience, emotional intelligence, and curiosity are key career differentiators

How graduates can pivot, refocus, and stay hopeful in uncertain times

This conversation is essential viewing for graduates, final-year students, job seekers, and early-career professionals navigating today’s changing world of work.
