Recent graduates

The Straight Talk Graduate Circle

For graduates navigating job hunting, career transitions and life after school — with real mentorship and structure.

The Straight Talk Graduate Circle picks up where the Freshers Fellowship leaves off — built for recent graduates figuring out the transition from campus to career.

This is the stage where the questions get harder: what to do with a degree that does not map cleanly to one job title, how to job-hunt without connections, how to negotiate a first offer, how to keep going after months of rejection. The Graduate Circle exists to make that stretch less lonely and less directionless.

What you get

  • A mentor matched specifically for career-stage guidance
  • An 8-week core curriculum covering CVs, interviews, professional networks and workplace readiness
  • Direct access to job and internship opportunities shared through STWU
  • A cohort of graduates going through the same season at the same time

Cohorts open periodically — join the community to hear when the next one opens.
