sparkCast | The Spark Hire Podcast

The sparkCast is picking up some steam once again! Please enjoy our discussions of the job market and relevant topics to help you with your job search. Happy Friday Spark News readers! Keep up with us over the weekend, though because even though most rest on the weekend, the job market does not.

Hey Spark News readers! It's been awhile since we had a podcast, but we've finally brought it back! This week, like all the other weeks, we're talking about jobs, jobs, jobs. So much is going on in the job market right now that we can never stop talking about jobs! Specifically, your Spark News writers Chris and Nicole are talking about the 5 Out of the Box Ways to Stand Out in Your Video Resume. Nicole wrote a blog post on it, but it's always great to delve deeper into the subject. And what better way than with a podcast? Chris and Nicole also took a couple minutes to discuss how important it is to take a break from your job search. It can get stressful, so walking away for a bit is a great idea. So, enjoy our podcast for this week and let us know what you think. If you have any comments or have any questions you would like us to address in next week's podcast, please let us know! We will be happy to discuss them for you.
