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.

Mission: I hack and reimagine the job search process. I love helping the unemployed, underemployed, and underappreciated find jobs and notice you!

The Voice of Job Seekers is about solutions from many angles, unravel employer mysteries, and answer as many questions to help you. I help  job seekers from all educational and cultural backgrounds. Even if you are employed and looking to move on, you will find advice that will fit your situation. I provide individual consultation, coaching, mentoring, and development to give you the voice an employer is waiting to hear. I can customize an affordable package for you and your job search and career management needs.
 
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. The last seven years I have counseled, coached, consulted, and mentored hundreds of job seekers with their job search. One of the highlights of my career as a consultant was traveling and training job seekers at Army federal bases on the east coast and Midwest of the United States.
 
 I have helped hundreds of job seekers with their job search strategies with tools, resources, and coaching. I achieved a B. A in Communications from the University of South Florida, and a MAEd. specializing in Adult Education and Training from the University of Phoenix. It is a perfect marriage of my experience as a Career Consultant, a job search strategist, and as an educator.
 
I offer solutions through workshops and consultations in the following areas:
Career advice
Career Education Writing and Content
Blogging
Job search strategies

Happy New Year!! I hope all is well in your world. For the past few years, including this one, I have been presenting a show with a panel to discuss the new year's trends. 

Hannah Morgan is the founder of CareerSherpa.net and loves helping people understand what actions they need to take to find a job faster. She is a speaker, trainer, and nationally recognized expert.

Robin Ryan is Wall Street Journal's best-selling author and has contributed her expertise to media outlets more than 3,000 times. She is a current Forbes Career Contributor, leading webinars and helping clients.

Here are highlights of our discussion:

  • Washington State just announced their law requiring companies to post the job and salary range. Will this continue to trend upward?
  • Can we finally put to be the "Quiet-Quitting" narrative in 2023?
  • Do layoffs in one industry affect other industries?
  • Employers are looking at promotions more seriously and as an alternative to finding new talent.
  • Job seekers will need to market themselves more strategically. 
  • What makes a job-seeker stand out today and in the future?
  • LinkedIn is a necessity, but any platform will go away. Websites and about.me are ways to sustain online visibility. 

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
