The talk show trying to help solve the entry-level job crisis
It's hard out there for job seekers. A Twitch call-in show hopes to address everything labor market and job hunting.
Job seekers can call in to 877UNMPLYD, a new Twitch show hosted by Jeremy Zimmer and Rachel Braun, seeking to provide career advice and tackle labor market issues. So far, the show has advised callers on matters ranging from salaries to showcasing unique experiences. In 2025, after submitting 50 job applications and receiving only one interview, 24-year-old Hans Romine sought advice after feeling disheartened.
A friend introduced him to the unique show. Zimmer, formerly CEO of United Talent Agency, and Braun made note of his experience as a recreation supervisor in Antarctica during his call-in. They encouraged him to emphasize this in his applications and interviews, which proved successful. Over their first season, they hosted 12 episodes, with one live episode in New York garnering over 54,000 views.
The show emerged as a response to the shrinking entry-level job market, particularly in New York City, where professions highly exposed to AI have seen significant reductions in opportunities. The hosts aim to help young people navigate this challenging market, offering guidance and advice.
