  • Episode 232 - Why is Looking for Work Like the Hunger Games? - Part 2 with Jason Hoss & Sean Watson
    Apr 27 2026

    This is part 2 of why looking for a job is like the Hunger Games. In this episode we talk about the value of relationships, warnings of using the "Open for Work" label on LinkedIn, and a reminder that not all recruiters are created equal. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 232 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! Picking up on where we left off last week, Jason Hoss gives his opinion on whether part of the problem is related to the hiring managers not knowing enough about resilience to setup appropriate job descriptions. Sean Watson explains that when we work through recruiters, the results can be more favorable, because it's all built on existing relationships. Looking for work is like the Hunger Games. There is one survivor, you don't know the rules until the game starts, and you get eliminated without knowing why. . Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it!

  • Episode 231 - Why is Looking for Work Like the Hunger Games? (Part 1) - Jason Hoss & Sean Watson
    Apr 20 2026

    This week we are joined by a recruiter and a job applicant. One says the recruiting system is broken. The other says finding a job is like the Hunger Games. A lot people participate, but only one survives. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 231 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! Over the next two weeks we're going to talk to Sean Watson (the go-to recruiter of the Resilient Journey) and friend of the podcast Jason Hoss. Jason shares his story of how he applied for 111 jobs over 15 months. Despite being deeply qualified, he was rejected 60% of the time and ghosted the other 40%. Sean says that this is a common problem and explains that some of the jobs that Jason applied for probably weren't even real. Application Tracking Systems, keywords, rejection. Our guests agree, it's a global problem. Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it! Check out the Resilient Journey Hub! Want to learn more about Mark?

  • Episode 230 - Communications Silence During a Crisis - with Keith Erwood
    Apr 13 2026

    We all understand how important communication is during a crisis. But this week's guest says that during high profile building evacuations, there is a time when communications silence is the proper protocol. But that doesn't mean we don't communicate. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 230 of the Resilient Journey Podcast, presented by Anesis Consulting Group! This week we are joined by former NY City EMS, turned resilience professional Keith Erwood. Keith and Mark take a couple of minutes to circle back to our recent conversation about blast radius. Keith explains that to him, the term literally refers to damage caused by an explosion. And that leads Keith to the topic of communications silence during an evacuation. He says that silence doesn't mean we don't communicate during the crisis, it means that our phones can't be used to detonate a device. Keith says while this is counter-intuitive and encounters pushback, radio silence is essential. Be sure to follow The Resilient Journey! We sure do appreciate it! Check out the Resilient Journey Hub!
