Request as Speaker

Sarah Springsteen Trumble can speak to the lived experiences of job seekers that many Workforce Specialists, whether they head local chambers of commerce, local business alliances or local talent works organizations for state governments may be entirely unaware of. The prevailing notion that at most a job applicant is likely to submit only 75-85 applications if they aren’t good at applying is profoundly disconnected from tens of millions of Americans experiences in the job market. It is built by people who came up to positions of authority in an infrastructure of hiring that is vastly different from the one that now exists as well as the idea that one shouldn’t discuss their hiring process – and it enables faulty decision making actions in local governments and county systems. Decisions, that neither benefit local businesses, nor the labor that powers their success.
