In this special edition, I gathered three career advice writers to join me for their perspective on the job search. We tackle several questions adding a different twist to what you usually hear. Each of them knows I stalked their Twitter and Linkedin profiles for months and hand-picked each to come on the show. 
 

Want to participate in the discussion?

Christopher Taylor is a former recruiter who writes for The Muse and is also a career practitioner. His articles appeared in TIME, Business Insider, and Forbes. You can learn more about him and what he does at Occupational Optimist. 
 
Matt Krumrie has written for many career advice blogs and job sites. Some of the sites include Flexjobs, Monster, and ZipRecruiter.com. You can learn more about his resume service at  ResumesbyMatt.com! 
 
Jaclyn Westlake is a career and lifestyle columnist for The Muse. You may have seen her work on Forbes, Business Insider, Mashable, Fast Company, or Life Hacker.
 

Here are the questions for career advice we explore in this episode:

  • What celebrity’s career models the best career advice in 2018?
  • Old career advice you can’t stand, but it works for a few?
  • Is the resume living and breathing, on a respirator, or DOA (Dead on Arrival)?
  • What rules would you recommend job seekers break or bend?
  • What would you like for job seekers to know about reading or hearing job advice?
  • What are the most critical elements in having a great career?

What Are Ways Young People 16-24 Can Find Jobs (Radio Interview)?

What Are Ways Young People 16-24 Can Find Jobs (Radio Interview)?

I was interview by James Parker of the Chicago Urban League a couple of weeks ago. This was on WVON Saturday morning’s program, “Let’s Get to Work.” Our discussion centered around helping our youth find jobs.

You are more than welcome to join the discussion. Here are three ways you can:

– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number
– Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message
– Send email feedback to mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com

How do the youth get jobs for the summer or anytime? I suggest these methods of helping them find jobs:

  • Start in October, not March to find jobs
  • Look at the opportunities available daily
  • Work together with other parents for those 16-18. Share information
  • Initiate a group and share information
  • McDonald’s is not your only option even though it’s not bad at all
  • Startups would be a great resource for jobs
  • Find paying jobs and an internship (perhaps one of each)

Reminder:

I am here for you! Use my contact information above to inquire about individual or group coaching. You can also sign up for my weekly newsletter at the top right of my page. I try to pack as much value in my newsletter to more than 2,000 subscribers as possible.
