Bio: Mark Anthony Dyson is “The Voice of Job Seekers.” He is a career consultant and founder of the award-winning blog and podcast. He helps the employed, unemployed, underemployed, and under-appreciated find jobs using job search strategies to navigate the new job market. Between 2010 and 2012 I helped more than 200 job seekers and business owners with resume writing and career advice. Since then I’ve helped hundreds more through one-on-one consulting, workshops, and online classes. The awards list below and my testimonial page should be informative about the evergreen career advice I offer for my clients, readers, and listeners.
