Lucas and Luna guide new graduates and career starters through the realities of landing a first job — from crafting a resume that actually passes automated screening to negotiating a starting salary without experience. Each episode examines one concrete challenge: what a background check really looks at, how to answer 'Tell me about yourself' without rambling, or why some entry-level roles become dead ends while others launch trajectories. Lucas brings the research — median starting salaries by industry, internship-to-hire conversion rates at Fortune 500 companies, common mistakes on LinkedIn profiles — and Luna tests every piece of advice against her own job-hunting experience and the stories of friends who have just started working. They never promise shortcuts or secret hacks; instead, they ask: what separates an offer letter from a rejection email? #EntryLevelRoles #NewGrads #FirstJob #CareerStart #JobSearch #ResumeTips #InterviewPrep #SalaryNegotiation #LinkedIn #BackgroundCheck #InternshipToJob #CareerAdvice #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #DailyPodcast #JobSeekerTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How to Negotiate Your First Job Offer

    How to Negotiate Your First Job Offer
    Jun 11 2026
    Episode 45 of The First Job Podcast tackles the nerve-wracking moment of negotiating your first job offer. Lucas and Luna break down why new grads often leave money on the table—statistics show that 85% of entry-level candidates accept the first offer without negotiating. They walk through a real example: a $45,000 offer with a $5,000 range, explain how to research market rates using sites like Glassdoor and Levels.fyi, and share a simple three-step script for asking professionally. The hosts also discuss non-salary negotiables like start date flexibility and professional development budgets. No aggressive tactics—just facts and conversation starters that can add thousands to your starting salary. #FirstJobPodcast #Negotiation #EntryLevel #Salary #NewGrad #CareerAdvice #JobOffer #Counteroffer #ProfessionalDevelopment #Glassdoor #LevelsFyi #WorkplaceSkills #CareerStart #Fexingo #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareersPodcast #JobSearch Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Making Your First Job a Launchpad for the Career You Want

    Making Your First Job a Launchpad for the Career You Want
    Jun 11 2026
    Episode 44 of The First Job Podcast with Fexingo. Hosts Lucas and Luna talk about how to use your first job as a deliberate stepping stone rather than just a place to collect a paycheck. They focus on the concept of 'career capital' — the skills, relationships, and reputation you build in your first role — and break down a framework from Cal Newport's book 'So Good They Can't Ignore You.' Lucas shares a specific example: a new grad who took a data-entry job at a logistics firm and turned it into a supply-chain analyst role by systematically learning SQL and Python on the side, then volunteering for projects. Luna pushes back with a real concern: what if you're in a toxic culture where there's no room to grow? They discuss when to invest in building capital and when to cut your losses. No vague advice — just a practical lens for making your first job work for your long-term goals.

  • How to Build a Career From Your First Side Project

    How to Build a Career From Your First Side Project
    Jun 10 2026
    Lucas and Luna explore how side projects — not just internships or formal jobs — can launch a career. They break down the story of a new grad who turned a small open-source tool into a full-time role at a major tech company, and walk through the specific steps to make a side project portfolio-ready: choosing the right problem, documenting the process, and leveraging it in interviews. They also discuss when a side project signals more than a traditional credential, and how to frame it without overclaiming. A practical episode for anyone who feels their resume lacks experience but has built something real. #SideProjects #CareerLaunch #EntryLevel #NewGrad #PortfolioBuilding #OpenSource #TechCareers #SkillsOverCredentials #JobSearch #InterviewTips #ShowYourWork #BuildYourBrand #CareerAdvice #FirstJob #TheFirstJobPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Fexingo founder and producer: Ibnul Jaif Farabi Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
