3 Minute Reading

Curious if you’ll like my podcast content? I posted a 3 minute reading of my first blog article and podcast episode titled Bachelor’s Degree Required; My Story From GED to Microsoft and Google. No podcast mic. No studio. No curated podcast editing. Just my beautiful Berkeley, CA patio on a sunny day and a phone recording with some cheap earbuds.

Give it a quick watch to see if my content can provide any value to you.

Limited Series Podcast for Job Seekers

A limited episode podcast series where I conduct mock-interviews - as close to the real thing as possible! For liability reasons, and not having the necessary time to provide correct, honest, real, and candid feedback - Recruiters rarely provide candidates the feedback they really need to help them grow. In this podcast series, I’ll do just that!

This limited series is separate from The Bossy Sauce Podcast due to the content being completely different and unique. I’m always looking for volunteers and I can ‘sometimes’ trade a resume review for your bravery in being interviewed for the podcast. I promise, I’m kind in my feedback. Take a listen to find learn more, and reach out via the Contact Page if you’re interested in being and interviewee!
