About this listen

This week we are joined by a recruiter and a job applicant. One says the recruiting system is broken. The other says finding a job is like the Hunger Games. A lot people participate, but only one survives. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 231 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! Over the next two weeks we're going to talk to Sean Watson (the go-to recruiter of the Resilient Journey) and friend of the podcast Jason Hoss. Jason shares his story of how he applied for 111 jobs over 15 months. Despite being deeply qualified, he was rejected 60% of the time and ghosted the other 40%. Sean says that this is a common problem and explains that some of the jobs that Jason applied for probably weren't even real. Application Tracking Systems, keywords, rejection. Our guests agree, it's a global problem. Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it! Check out the Resilient Journey Hub! Want to learn more about Mark?
