On this week's Career Therapy Podcast (e.78), we welcome Ann Marie Carrothers back for round TWO.
Today’s Sponsor: Hirect https://hirect.us/invitation?bdId=15 find a job with Hirect today :)
(And yes, this is the second of Career Therapy’s first two-part conversation, about the overlap of dating and job searching. So, if you haven’t listened to part one, feel free to go back and check it out before listening to this episode.)
For a little background, Ann Marie is a content strategist, digital educator, and founder of Public Privates, a project dedicated to helping people find love online safely by providing guidance on algorithms, AI facial recognition, and digital privacy + security.
In today’s episode (part 2) we talk about how ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) and dating algorithms control our careers and love life, how to manipulate these systems with keywords that work in your favor, and what you can do to side-step the whole online sink-hole entirely, and get back to using these apps as tools, rather than crutches for your life.
