While the landscape has changed dramatically over the last few years, you may ask: which best practices for job seekers have not changed? For example, if I’m being told that networking is the best way to land jobs, what does that actually mean in an increasingly virtual world? Well, in this episode for the first time, we’ll cover the wonderful world of virtual hiring, and we’ll uncover some tips to help you land more interviews. 

Today I brought on Steve Edwards, founder of Premier Virtual, an innovative company helping businesses host successful virtual hiring events. According to Steve, virtual hiring events are an essential component of any recruitment effort, and his team is committed to help usher in this new era.

After 4 years of jumping out of planes in the Army he moved to attend FAU and eventually start his own platform.

As a leader in the industry, the Premier Virtual platform has helped more than 50,000 companies connect with nearly 1 million job seekers and hosted over 7,000 virtual hiring events, and this number is growing daily. They have earned prestigious awards and Premier Virtual also has licensing agreements with almost 200 Workforce Development Boards across the Country. The US Army, many National Guard units, and several Veteran organizations use the Premier Virtual platform.

So as you can see… this is going to be a very impactful episode for those looking to try something new and diversify their job search portfolio.

Listen, I understand that things are not so straightforward in life.  For example, you may have no experience within a given field, and then an entry-level position calls your name – but with the prerequisite of having 3-5 years of experience. Or maybe you’re applying for positions that require experience, but you feel like you’re dealing with ageism. Oh, the irony! So today we’ll unpack those burning questions with a really amazing guest who knows her stuff. 

Her name is Andrea Gerson, founder of Resume Scripter. Andrea has 15 years of experience working with professionals at all stages of their careers to find clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of energy around their work. As a top-ranked career expert who has been featured in Forbes, Business Insider,  the Chicago Tribune, and Recruiter.com, Andrea empowers job-seekers to leverage their strengths to reach their professional potential.​

Andrea graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. She then went on to earn her Master's degree in Social Work at NYU while working full-time as a career counselor in the NYC non-profit sector. It was during this time that she founded Resume Scripter, and since then she has created impactful resumes for nearly 7,500 professionals.  Many of her clients have secured competitive roles at top organizations including Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and the United Nations.

So let’s geek out about resumes. I know that this will be a fun and informative conversation for anyone looking to take up their resume to the next level.
