>> WHAT ABOUT THE INTERVIEW
PROCESS ITSELF, WHAT TRENDS ARE
YOU SEEING WITH THAT?

INDIVIDUAL THAT'S INTERVIEWING
FOR A JOB, I THINK ONE THING
YOU'LL START TO SEE IS THAT
FIRST INTERACTION WITH AN
EMPLOYER.
EMPLOYER.
EMPLOYER. IT'S GOING TO BE A CASUAL
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. EMPLOYERS ARE WANTING TO TELL
YOU ABOUT THEIR COMPANY BECAUSE
THEY'RE NEEDING TO COURT
INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH
A FEW NUMBER OF THEM OUT THERE.
THEY WANT TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT
THEIR COMPANY FIRST.

BRAND IN THE MARKETPLACE AND
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS HOW ARE
YOU REPRESENTING YOURSELF IN THE
MARKETPLACE?

FOR, THE MISSION, THE CORE
VALUES.

REALLY IMPORTANT FOR EMPLOYERS

SUCH A HEAVY DIMGTLE.
THERE'S A LOT OF
TECHNOLOGY-BASED MARKETING
TECHNOLOGY-BASED MARKETING POSITIONS THAT ARE EXTREMELY IN
DEMAND AS WELL.
>> FINALLY, WITH SO MUCH
HAPPENING WITH THE STOCK MARKET
IN THE FINAL DAYS OF THIS YEAR,
I HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE VERY
SPOOKED I KNOW.
CONCERNS FROM 401(K) TO WHETHER
HIRING WILL CONTINUE.
WHAT ARE YOU FEELING AS WE BEGIN
THE FIRST COUPLE QUARTERS OF
2019?
2019?
2019? >>
2019? >> I THINK IT WILL BE A LOT OF
HIRING OUT THERE.
THE REASON FOR IT IS THERE'S A
LOT OF PEOPLE STILL EXITING THE
MARKETPLACE.
MARKETPLACE. THE BABY BOOMERS THAT ARE
LEAVING AND THERE'S STILL A LOT
OF VACANCIES OUT THERE.
IT MAY SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT
BUT THERE'S STILL GOING TO BE
PLENTY OF HIRING.
