The Voice of Job Seekers

Mark Anthony Dyson launched The Voice of Job Seekers in 2013 alongside his award-winning blog, and his passion for helping job seekers comes through clearly in every episode. The show covers modern job search strategies through a mix of formats -- some episodes are solo commentary where Mark shares his observations, others are in-depth interviews with career coaches, HR professionals, and hiring managers. Episodes vary widely in length, from quick 8-minute takes to full 60-minute conversations, so you can pick and choose based on your available time. Mark brings a distinctive perspective to the job search conversation. He frequently addresses generational differences in how people look for work, the impact of AI on hiring, job scam awareness (he runs a separate newsletter called The Job Scam Report on Substack), and the challenges facing recent graduates entering a tough market. He also digs into practical topics like background check preparation, networking for introverts, and resume writing for career changers. The show has a more casual, editorial feel compared to some of the highly polished career podcasts out there, which can be refreshing -- it feels like getting advice from a knowledgeable friend who stays current on labor market trends. Mark is candid about what works and what doesn't, and he's not afraid to challenge conventional job search wisdom when the data doesn't support it. If you want a podcast that treats job seekers as adults who deserve honest, informed guidance, Mark delivers that consistently.
