My name is Mark Anthony Dyson, and I am the Founder of The Voice of Job Seekers. I am a  career consultant and career advice writer, but importantly, a job seeker advocate.

I also present at colleges and other organizations, facilitated many workshops, and regularly write and create useful job search content on this blog. 

I love helping job seekers with the process of finding a career and solve their job search dilemmas. This award-winning blog helps me reach you and your job search in ways I hope you find refreshing and encouraging.

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.
