The Voice of Job Seekers
I write investigative job search and career articles with a practitioner's heart. I've written more than 1,000 articles on the topic. One thing for sure: The modern job search is a lifestyle now. If it isn't, you'll be light years behind should your job end today. Late starts suck, but you can change today! It's a mistake to disengage from managing your career. It will only land you light years behind your competition. My award-winning blog, "The Voice of Job Seekers," has offered job-search advice since 2011. I write a Substack blog called "The Job Scam Report." Join me at: markanthonydyson[dot]SubStack[dot}com. Here are a few things I've done through the years: I write for Lensa.com. I have bylines at The Financial Diet, BET, Payscale, Business Insider, and Fox Business. See my freelance writing portfolio at muckrack.com/mark-anthony-dyson! I spoke at Saint Xavier University, Black Enterprise, Bradley University, North Georgia University, the Career Thought Leaders Consortium conference, the National Career Development Association Conference, and more. I am quoted in Forbes, Business Insider, Fast Company publications, and dozens more. I've been on dozens of podcasts and radio shows, including SiriusXM, LinkedIn News, NTD News, Scripps News, and NPR. I received awards for top blogs and podcasts from organizations such as Flex Jobs, Mac's List, Jobscan, etc. email: markanthonydyson[at]gmail[dot]com to hire me for writing.
