My Mistake

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter

Not long ago, Indeed.com had a terrific commercial where everyone gathered in the conference room for the big announcement of who got the promotion to senior VP. As the announcement is made, we see the hurt and disappointment on Claire’s face as she is passed over for the job and Mike is chosen. At that very moment, a text comes in, and another firm hires her. It closes with the voiceover — “it wasn’t the first time that this happened, but it would be the last time.”

That was how I felt a few days ago when another “best of” list came out, and people who know far less than I do more named the best in my space . . . Again.

It bothers me because I’m the OG in job search podcasting. My show, “No BS Job Search Advice Radio,” has been on-air continuously for more than ten years and 2000 episodes.

My YouTube channel, Job Search TV, has been up since 2008 and has more than 6000 videos.

LinkedIn? I was number 7653 on the platform.

I have an OTT television show, Job Search TV, on Amazon, Roku that also appears on AppleTV and 90+ other platforms through BingeNetworks.tv.

I’m a great career coach who receives no recognition from the alleged opinion makers but great recommendations from real people.
