We’ve been hearing so much about jobs, hiring, and the issues in the workforce today. But the focus in this episode is on the candidates. What can you do to try to stand out? How about some tips on what the best resumes look like? And what I believe is an underutilized resource, LinkedIn. How can you optimize your profile and use the platform to help you land your next great job. Believe me, LinkedIn can help.

We discuss all this with Jeremy Nichols. Jeremy is a recruiter for Gecko Hospitality focusing in Florida and specifically the Tampa area. With Jeremy we get a little different perspective than the golf industry focused conversations we typically have. Jeremy understands the hospitality industry and has been recruiting for a wide variety of positions for over 20 years. He talks to tons of employers and candidates every day, and he knows what works and what doesn’t. Speaking of LinkedIn, follow Jeremy for daily tips and insights into the hiring world and subscribe to his YouTube channel where he’s creating regular videos that can help you with anything from interviewing, negotiating, getting hired and more.

Spend more than a few minutes in a room with a group of Golf Professionals these days and you're bound to start hearing about some level of "burnout". The affect of the pandemic on golf and the labor shortage have come together to put even more pressure than normal on today's Professionals.

In this episode, we cover the 5 reasons we can feel burned out and go over practical solutions to address this issue.

In this episode, we flip the script as Dean takes questions about his career, the development of Golf Professional Growth, how he actually left the golf industry while in college, and much more!
