How recruiters think: Their role is to find the best candidate for the company, not the other way around.
The power of LinkedIn: Did you know 90% of recruiters look at your LinkedIn profile before your resume? Is your profile telling your story?
Reflect before you act: Your job strategy should begin with understanding your likes, dislikes, and aspirations to build a targeted career plan.
Embrace AI and Technology: Don’t fear tools like applicant tracking systems or AI—use them to your advantage.
Showcase your skills effectively: It’s not enough to list hard and soft skills; you need to show how you’ve applied them to achieve results.
Build a support network: Talking to other job seekers can provide invaluable insights and encouragement.
Bet on yourself: Remember, your next great opportunity is out there—you’ve got what it takes to find it.

Bob Gerst Mr. Transition Expert

I have had a terrific work life; I started as an auditor and then joined a property management company. I was the first professional HR executive with them. I had the opportunity to create and mature a sophisticated HR service delivery model. Then, I joined Jones Lang LaSalle, a global R/E firm. I was asked to move to Singapore to head up the Asia Pacific Region and helped build an HR team again. I then moved to Las Vegas, first with The Venetian and then with Boyd Gaming. I am now President of my own Company, HR Transitions, and the VP of HR at John I. Haas. I also have taught undergraduate and graduate level programs, including courses at Benedictine University, Heritage University, and the College of Southern Nevada.
