このコンテンツについて

I write investigative job search and career articles with a practitioner's heart. I've written more than 1,000 articles on the topic. One thing for sure: The modern job search is a lifestyle now. If it isn't, you'll be light years behind should your job end today. Late starts suck, but you can change today! It's a mistake to disengage from managing your career. It will only land you light years behind your competition. My award-winning blog, "The Voice of Job Seekers," has offered job-search advice since 2011. I write a Substack blog called "The Job Scam Report." Join me at: markanthonydyson[dot]SubStack[dot}com. Here are a few things I've done through the years: I write for Lensa.com. I have bylines at The Financial Diet, BET, Payscale, Business Insider, and Fox Business. See my freelance writing portfolio at muckrack.com/mark-anthony-dyson! I spoke at Saint Xavier University, Black Enterprise, Bradley University, North Georgia University, the Career Thought Leaders Consortium conference, the National Career Development Association Conference, and more. I am quoted in Forbes, Business Insider, Fast Company publications, and dozens more. I've been on dozens of podcasts and radio shows, including SiriusXM, LinkedIn News, NTD News, Scripps News, and NPR. I received awards for top blogs and podcasts from organizations such as Flex Jobs, Mac's List, Jobscan, etc. email: markanthonydyson[at]gmail[dot]com to hire me for writing. 出世 就職活動 経済学

  • Boost Your Career Now with AI Strategies and Get Found Later
    2025/05/27

    Now is the perfect time to plan a long-game solution to enhance your chances of being found by recruiters, hiring managers, and employers in the future. AI is the new SEO, as in Search-Everywhere-Optimization, and Google is the orphaned child of "Search Engine Optimization."

    I’ve been doing this podcast for nearly 12 years, and my blog has been around since July 2011. If you haven’t yet, I encourage you to check the available articles and podcasts. We’ve had over 300 episodes featuring more than 200 guests, including other content creators, career coaches, and business people.

    For the first time, I’ll do a series of solo episodes to share my thoughts and gather your feedback. I’ve been exploring AI in the context of job seeking and have written articles on this topic since 2019. AI is here to stay, and I want to discuss how it impacts job searches, comparing Search Everywhere Optimization to traditional Search Engine Optimization.

  • How to Network and Strategize Thoughtfully for a Successful Career
    2025/05/14

    Welcome back to The Voice of Job Seekers podcast. I took an unannounced break from this podcast to concentrate on content for "The Job Scam Report" podcast. Some of you subscribe to the newsletter and podcast. Many good things have been happening there, so it has been quite busy.

    In March of 2024, I was invited to join a panel (actually two) at St. Xavier's University in Chicago. The panel consisted of Nathan Peck, an Associate Professor, James Miller, Shared Governance President, and Lauren Milligan, Founder of ResuMayDay, a Resume Writer and Career Coach. Each session had about 30-50 students.

    Below are some of the highlights of the 75-minute panel:

    Craft a Strong Resume: We encouraged students to tailor their resumes to highlight relevant skills and experiences for each job application, ensuring they're clear and visually appealing. Lauren provided a basic overview of the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and its role in hiring and emphasized the need for simplicity. She also added how ChatGPT can be helpful in the process.

    Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile: The panel collectively agreed students must create a compelling LinkedIn profile to reflect their professional brand, including a professional photo, detailed work experience, and engaging summaries. We discussed how LinkedIn can facilitate the expansion of their network, and learning from successful career industry professionals through their profiles.

    Network Actively: We advised students on building and nurturing professional relationships through networking events, social media, and industry groups to increase job opportunities and get referrals. Networking is vital for career advancement today, especially for introverts. It's a great connection hub for building relationships with present and future collaborators.

  • The Truth About Background Checks: What Job Seekers Must Know
    2024/12/03
    This episode explores the complexities of HR background checks with Ghislaine Knauff, who has worked in HR operations for a Fortune 100 company for the past 15 years. This discussion rarely takes place on podcasts and would help many job seekers understand background checks have many snares and nuances. I learned a lot, not realizing how much could happen along the way. As you'll see in the episode, it's not just what an employer says about a former employee. I've shared notes with you, but hearing them will add much context to my quick talking points.

    Highlights:

    Hiring Process Delays: - Hiring delays are common and frustrating for candidates. - Varies by industry; some are highly regulated (e.g., financial services), requiring extensive background checks. Factors contributing to delays: - Industry-specific regulatory requirements - Comprehensive background checks (e.g., criminal history) - Candidate responsiveness Role of HR in Hiring: - HR’s involvement begins after the resume review and initial interview. - HR checks applications for employment history, education, and criminal records. - Verification processes may include contacting previous employers and checking licensing databases. Employment and Background Checks: - Background checks vary by industry. - Common checks include employment history, education verification, and criminal background checks. - Performance issues noted in past employment may be considered but are only sometimes a dealbreaker. References: - The importance of references can vary. - References are only sometimes required in some industries. - Ideal references include supervisors or peers who can vouch for work ethic and teamwork. Challenges in the Hiring Process - Delays obtaining information from external sources (e.g., understaffed courts, previous employers without automated systems). - Differences in checks for industry-specific roles. - Potential application discrepancies (e.g., incorrect employment dates) can lead to distrust. Social Media and Hiring - Social media checks are handled separately, not as part of initial background checks. - The impact of social media presence can be significant if it is negative (e.g., hate speech). - It is essential to maintain a professional online presence. Industry Trends and Advice - Some industries are consistently hiring; consider exploring new fields if you need help finding a job. - Skills can be transferable across industries. - Research and understanding of where skills fit can broaden job opportunities. Conclusion - Encouragement to explore different career opportunities. - Contact Just Lane via LinkedIn for more insights. - Stay informed about upcoming job-related podcasts and resources.
