ABOUT ME |

Mark Anthony Dyson, Founder of TheVoiceofJobseekers.com, Career Consultant, Writer, Career Educator, Entrepreneur, Trainer, and Speaker. I am the Founder and Chief Evangelist of Competitive Resumes, a company in Illinois, offering a myriad of career services such as, resume writing, coaching, workshop facilitation, and various career development offerings. Mostly, I embrace my role as a career educator the most, and try to present this blog in the same way.

This blog is about helping and educating the unemployed, underemployed, and unappreciated job seekers who need solutions to find jobs. I offer solutions from many angles, unravel employer mysteries, and answer as many questions to help job seekers from varying educational and cultural backgrounds. Even if you are employed and looking to move on, you will find advice that will fit your situation. I can also give you individual consultation, coaching, mentoring, and development if you need it.

My background… I have been on both sides of the hiring spectrum as a job seeker and a hiring manager in the call center and retail management world. The last four years I have counseled, consulted, and mentored hundreds of job seekers. One of the highlights of my career as a consultant was traveling and training job seekers at Army federal bases on the east coast and Midwest of the United States.

I have written, reviewed, and edited hundreds of resumes to help those job seekers prepare for a competitive job search. I achieved a B.A in Communications from the University of South Florida, and a MAEd. specializing in Adult Education and Training from the University of Phoenix. It is a perfect marriage of my experience as a Career Consultant and education andragogical learning theory.
