Legacy, Candidate Self-Awareness, and the Reality of Corporate Hiring and Advancement

An Interview With Brian Wright, Professional Development and Talent Acquisition Consultant at Max Edwards Company, on systemic hiring and career development issues in corporate America.

This interview was fire. Not only do we discuss the intricacies of hiring and the corporate world, but we also dig into some of the systemic hiring and employee retention issues that run rampant through corporate.

I've known Brian for a few years and because we are in similar worlds, I always love our conversations. It's more than story and tips, we get into the broader issues and have philosophical conversations about recruiting, hiring, and talent and career development.

When I tell you that we cover a lot of topics - we do.

Everything from family and legacy and how it impacts your view of your career opportunities, developing current talent, recognizing your skills gaps for future positions, generational shifts about working in corporate, building your story as a candidate, discuss the great resignation of which Brian has some great thoughts and more! Yes, more.

As no surprise, we also discuss LinkedIn and its benefits from a candidate perspective and recruiting perspective. It's also how Brian and I have stayed connected and how we stay up-to-date regarding each other's businesses.

For those listening to the audio-only version of the episode, my apologies in advance for a few areas where the audio dropped out on my end. It won't change the context of what's being said in that moment and if you'd like to watch the interview, I added the intended language to the captions.
