I had the pleasure of being a guest on Mac’s List "Find Your Dream Job" podcast, where I spoke about The Emotional Labor of the Job Search, a topic I’m incredibly passionate about, especially for BIPOC, first-gen, and immigrant professionals.

From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, thoughtful, and truly enjoyable. Mac and his team made everything feel easy and welcoming. Susan handled all the coordination with such warmth and professionalism, making sure I had everything I needed ahead of time. Matt, their sound engineer, made the technical side smooth and stress-free, so I could focus on sharing my story. And during the actual recording, Mac creates such a calm, encouraging space, you really do feel like you’re just having a great conversation rather than recording for a wide audience.

I felt fully supported throughout the process and left feeling energized by the conversation. If you ever get the chance to work with Mac and his team, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s clear they care deeply about both their guests and the listeners they serve.

I had a wonderful time being on the “Find Your Dream Job” podcast where I shared steps on how to build connection in a job interview to be more memorable.

I can’t say enough good things about the entire process! It was extremely professional, efficient and welcoming. A big thank you to Susan and Matt for all their help, and I’m very thankful for the encouragement, thoughtfulness and professionalism from Mac. You can tell Mac and his team really care about serving their audience at the highest level.

Mac’s List also provides so much great practical career and hiring advice on their website and their job board provides the best jobs throughout the Pacific Northwest. I highly recommend all of Mac’s List resources and job board if you’re currently looking for a job!

I enjoy Mac's posts and podcasts! They've been very helpful for me as I navigate looking for my passion and some new work in my late fifties. Mac's voice is consistently full of kindness, compassion, and the skillfulness of experience.

As the ED Search Committee chair for Chess For Success, I had a very positive experience with Mac's List. Very easy to use, modestly priced, and brought us 3 high-quality candidates. My compliments!

Mac's podcast is one of the few job search/career-related podcasts I recommend to anyone looking for a job at any stage of their career. Mac is not only extremely knowledgeable on the topic, but he invites other professionals that offer a wealth of information on the subject. Mac's tone is inviting and non-judgemental. You can pay for consultants to assist you in your job search, or you can listen to Find Your Dream Job!

I have referred job seekers to Mac's List because I trust the quality and accuracy of the information and the job positing list is current and extensive.

I've been using Mac's List for several years to recruit candidates for nonprofit roles in the PDX metro area. It's been a great source of talent and the employer interface on the site is easy to use. Mac's a nice guy too!

As a young professional, the Mac's List podcast has provided me with an abundance of valuable information regarding how to best navigate the job search process and helped me equip myself with the right tools to grow my career. His content is not only time-appropriate, but also well-catered to professionals in different walks of life: those who want to change careers , those who are only now entering the workforce, and those who want to better align their personal values with their work life. Mac and his guests are wonderful, highly experienced people and I'm grateful that I stumbled upon his podcast & website! Highly recommend that you give any of his episodes a listen.

I had the honour of being invited to be a guest on Mac's podcast and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Mac's reputation precedes him so, I have to say, I was little nervous but he approached the whole process with a calm, encouraging and professional manner.
