Rick's awesome. He has a pulse on the world of employment, and EVERYONE can benefit from what he, his show, and his knowledge bring to the table when talking about working in the USA. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs advice (or needs advice but doesn't realize it). HC
Marketing Professional
Rick,
I have gained so much information from you in the 2 days that I listened to you. I took what I have heard from you and put it to use and I instantly saw more hits on my resume as well as received more telephone calls for interviews.

Topic: Arghhh! Random Thoughts on Employment Issues!
We had no outside phone lines in the studio today and as a result no way for my two guests to appear on the show. Fortunately Jill Silman, VP Meador Staffing and a friend of the show was in-studio to pick up the slack. We talked about "business casual" attire, digital communications on the job, generational issues and more. Producer Chuck Savage tossed in with his very thoughtful take on branding (which during the job search we tend to think of as "networking"--I like Chuck's take best). A great, free ranging show!
