On this episode of Industry Celebrities, Kimberly D. Scott interviews Clark Finnical, author of Job Hunting Secrets, (from someone who's been there.) Clark is passionately in the “job seekers” industry. Having experienced four job eliminations, he knows exactly what it’s like to be in the job seeker’s shoes. While recruiters have great information, they don’t really delve into the secrets of hiring managers, allowing job seekers to better understand what’s going on in the hiring manager’s “mind” to better prepare...and Clark provides first-hand knowledge on what he learned and how it can help you (if you’re looking for a job, of course).
