In this week’s episode of The Rowbo Show, we dive into a topic that many people face but few openly talk about: the imaginary shame of unemployment. Join us as we challenge the negative stigma often attached to being between jobs and discuss why it’s essential to embrace this phase as part of the larger career journey. Unemployment isn’t a setback—it’s an opportunity. We explore the surprising benefits of this time off, from recharging your mental and emotional batteries to reevaluating your goals and passions. Whether you’ve recently lost a job or are simply in transition, we’ll share how to turn unemployment into a period of personal growth and renewal, so you’re better prepared for your next opportunity. Tune in for an uplifting conversation that reshapes how we think about this critical phase of life and encourages listeners to embrace the race, rather than fear it.

Hosts: Mark Rowbottom, Joe Moralez

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, we shine a light on the often-overlooked power of the cover letter and why embracing the “imperfect candidate” can lead to exceptional hires. We dive into the unrealistic expectations of so-called “unicorn searches” and discuss the importance of flexibility—both for job seekers and hiring managers—in today’s fast-moving employment landscape. With time at a premium, we explore why it’s crucial to keep positive interviews moving forward and how delays in extending offers can cost companies top talent. We wrap things up by talking about what it really means to guarantee that people matter—and how to make meaningful, lasting hires that elevate teams and culture. It’s a thoughtful, practical conversation filled with real-world insights for both employers and job hunters alike.

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, Mark shares the story of his fifth and final interview with GE Medical Systems back in 1988—a process that ultimately led to a great job offer, but not without a few bumps along the way. His experience highlights how extended interview processes can leave candidates feeling indifferent or disillusioned, even when the outcome is positive. From there, Mark and Joe dive into a discussion about modern workplace policies, including the pros and cons of Unlimited Paid Time Off (UPTO), how bereavement pay works, and the implications of arbitration clauses in employment agreements. It’s a thoughtful look at what today’s benefits and policies really mean for both employees and employers.
