Fortunately, there are simple steps everyone can take to stand out in today's competitive hiring landscape. 

In this episode, Karla Meador, the Managing Partner at NEAR Search Group, joins host Mike Merrill to discuss how technology has changed the way companies hire, as well as actionable advice for breaking into the construction industry and seasoned professionals looking to make a change.
