Future of Education & Job Search (with Steven Rothberg)

In this episode of Shift, I chat with Steven Rothberg - Founder, Chief Visionary Officer of College Recruiter, and podcast host. We talked about his entrepreneurship journey of over 20 years + some exciting facts around current and future education trends, as well as what corporates are looking for in fresh graduates and how to stand out as a student and/or fresh graduate.    About Steven: his entrepreneurial spirit was evident from an early age. Disciplined in fifth grade for selling candy during math class and in college for running a massive fantasy hockey league, he managed to channel his passions into something more productive after graduate school.   A fully recovered lawyer, he founded the business that morphed into College Recruiter and now, as its Chief Visionary Officer, help to create and refine the company’s strategy and leads its business development efforts.   He's been widely quoted by local, regional, national and international media including NBC Nightly News, MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show, U.S. News & World Report, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, FOX & Friends, and CNN. I kept hearing that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, so he co-founded and is the co-host of the JobBoardGeek Podcast, the only podcast about the business of connecting candidates and employers.   He was named by Mashable as one of the 20 top people for job seekers to follow on Twitter, Fast Company magazine as a "Top 50 online influencer", LinkedIn as having a profile in the top one percent most viewed, and TAtech as one of the top 100 influencers in the talent acquisition industry.   He may be reached at [email protected].   Website: https://www.collegerecruiter.com/advertising LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenrothberg/  About your host:  Elena Agaragimova is the co-founder of Bessern (https://www.bessern.co/) 👉 We help people in corporations 🧑‍💼 to be more resilient and equipped with the skills that matters to thrive and be at their best at work.  Bloom Youth (https://www.bessern.co/bloom-youth) 👉 We help students 🧑‍🎓 to get prepared for the future of work through our Bloom Youth Bootcamps - Bloom Youth is the first MENA Future of Education platform made for students to accelerate their talents.   Learn more about Elena: https://linktr.ee/ElenaAgar   Connect with Elena on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenaagaragimova/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/elenaagaragi  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elenaagaragimova/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elenaagaragimova   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX-tUIvseCy5SKgzkZuXv7Q?view_as=subscriber
