As the attractions industry faces workforce reductions and career shifts, professionals are grappling with the daunting challenge of reentering the job market. For many, the process feels outdated, impersonal, and overwhelming. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about how to make the job search more effective and fulfilling, sharing timely advice gathered from recruiters, job seekers, and their own experiences navigating career development in the attractions industry. The Resume: More Than a Job Description "Make sure you're telling the story—not just what you did, but how you made an impact." Matt shares insights from a recent virtual job fair, emphasizing the importance of showing accomplishments, not just tasks. Recruiters want resumes that demonstrate measurable outcomes and individual contributions, not ones that copy and paste job descriptions. Using AI like ChatGPT can help refine wording and formatting, but it's crucial that the document still reflects your authentic voice and personality. Using AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch "Let it review your work, not do your work." While AI tools can help polish resumes and cover letters, Matt and Josh warn against relying on them to create your materials from scratch. Authenticity still matters. AI should be used to enhance your message, not replace your voice. If a recruiter can't tell who you are from your writing, your application loses its impact. Your Network Is More Powerful Than Your Resume "If you know someone at the company, let them know you're applying." Both hosts agree that your network can often open doors more effectively than a resume alone. A referral can elevate your application and help bypass filters that might otherwise discard it. Matt and Josh emphasize the importance of not only maintaining your network but actively growing it, especially through platforms like LinkedIn. Be Politely Assertive "Follow up. Let them know you're still interested." Recruiters value candidates who show enthusiasm and persistence, without becoming overbearing. Borrowing the phrase “politely assertive” from Denise Beckson of Morey's Piers, Matt and Josh encourage job seekers to check in respectfully after applying or interviewing. A thoughtful follow-up message can show genuine interest and prevent your application from falling through the cracks. Transferring Skills Across Industries "If you managed safety at a water park, you can manage safety on a manufacturing floor." Don't underestimate how relevant your attractions-industry experience is in other fields. From safety standards to leadership and guest service, these skills are highly transferable. Matt and Josh advise job seekers to highlight how their expertise applies beyond the attractions world, especially when considering roles in adjacent industries. Redefining Your Identity and Building Your Brand "Your employer is not your identity—your skills are." Josh discusses the importance of separating your identity from your employer (whether past or present) and instead focusing on your personal brand. Creating thought leadership content and posting regularly can build credibility, demonstrate expertise, and attract opportunities organically. Reflecting on Fit and Culture "Interview the company as much as they interview you." Not every job is the right fit, and that's okay. Both hosts stress the importance of evaluating a company's culture and values during the application process. Josh shares a story of walking out of a shadowing experience after realizing the role wasn't a match—an empowering reminder that saying no is sometimes the best move. Practical Advice from Recruiters "Apply directly through company websites for better visibility and data accuracy." Recruiters note that applications from company sites are more complete and reliable than those from job boards like Indeed. Matt also highlights the importance of clarity in the hiring timeline, encouraging hiring managers to communicate expectations clearly to applicants. Whether you're refining a resume, growing your network, or exploring other industries, the path to your next opportunity begins with knowing who you are and what you bring to the table.

RECRUITER SKILLS PROFILE: HOW AI CHANGES THE GAME We all know that AI is going to change every job, but we don't know precisely how or when, much less the implications on the type of skills we need to be hiring when recruiting for 'AI first' employers. - What do we know about the impact of AI / Automation in knowledge work? - What skills are going to be insulated and valued from this impact? - Do we 'design out' job roles which have high component of these insulated skills? - How do humans uniquely add value to any process, for any outcome? - Do we actually do this? - If AI takes on admin, logistics, note taking, CV screening etc - what other activities remain? - Will these remain valuable for the business or simply disappear if the scaffolding that holds up the rest of the job disppears? - What do we know are the skill we WON'T need on future TA? - What are the skills which we will need going forward? - How do we assess for those skills - with AI or without AI? - Do we go back to attribute based hiring? - Can incumbent employees improve their attributes in order to be future fit? - How do companies ensure that you have the right skills / capability mix in your recruiting team? - What do leaders themselves need to do to be future fit?
