00:00:16.000 –> 00:00:24.000
Welcome everyone again, and thank you for joining us for our first 30 Minutes of Excellence session for 2026.
00:00:24.000 –> 00:00:32.000
So, if this is your first time at a 30 Minutes of Excellence session, these sessions are designed to spotlight valuable resources.
00:00:32.000 –> 00:00:38.000
promising practices and innovative programs from throughout the workforce system.
00:00:38.000 –> 00:00:45.000
Um, all of that with the goal in mind of keeping you informed, um, engaged, and inspired.
00:00:45.000 –> 00:00:52.000
So, as I said before, this session will be recorded, and it’s going to be available on our website within 5 business days.
00:00:52.000 –> 00:01:01.000
And it’ll also be available on our Not Up YouTube channel, so you can, um… view it either on our native YouTube channel or on our website.
00:01:01.000 –> 00:01:06.000
So, now for the introduction. Today, we are excited to welcome Matt Burnt.
00:01:06.000 –> 00:01:10.000
And Matt is the head of Indeed’s Job Search Academy.
00:01:10.000 –> 00:01:23.000
Matt will be sharing with us today an overview of this free resource from Indeed that’s already being used at more than 200 colleges, workforce boards, and nonprofit organizations across the country.
00:01:23.000 –> 00:01:31.000
And this, um, resource is designed to support job seekers and strengthen career services for the communities that we all serve.
00:01:31.000 –> 00:01:40.000
So, at this time, we are thrilled to welcome Matt with us today to learn more about the Job Search Academy. And so this time, Matt, I will turn it over to you.
00:01:40.000 –> 00:01:49.000
Him, thank you so much, and to everyone who is giving me 30 minutes of your time today, I so appreciate you doing so, because I’m very excited about this story.
00:01:49.000 –> 00:01:59.000
Uh, about the story of the job search academy, and it is so neat to see everyone who is joining the meeting today. I’m gonna drop in my own little quick introduction and some contact information,
00:01:59.000 –> 00:02:07.000
into the chat as well, so that you all will have that. I am Matt Burnt, I’m Indeed, I’ve been with Indeed for 10 years.
00:02:07.000 –> 00:02:11.000
Um, and uh… but I’ve been in this business of helping job seekers
00:02:11.000 –> 00:02:18.000
for over 30 years. I started in University Career Services in 1993,
00:02:18.000 –> 00:02:23.000
Uh, worked for 20 years in University Career Services, spent 4 years in the staffing business,
00:02:23.000 –> 00:02:30.000
And I spent 4 years with a different tech staffing… with a different workforce tech company before coming to Indeed. So,
00:02:30.000 –> 00:02:36.000
You can say, I have spent my life helping people get jobs, and this job search academy is really
00:02:36.000 –> 00:02:43.000
Well, it’s my life’s work. It’s what I am… have wanted to do for a very long time, and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with you. Now,
00:02:43.000 –> 00:02:50.000
Throughout the time here that we have, I am going to share with you a deck of information
00:02:50.000 –> 00:02:55.000
that tells the story of the job search academy and the partnership opportunity that we offer
00:02:55.000 –> 00:02:57.000
for the… for free, by the way.
00:02:57.000 –> 00:03:03.000
Um, and then I want to take questions, and I want to show you what the site looks like live.
00:03:03.000 –> 00:03:05.000
So, as you have questions,
00:03:05.000 –> 00:03:13.000
add them to the chat, um, and I will try and answer them in line, if it’s appropriate to answer them in line, or I might savor them until the end.
00:03:13.000 –> 00:03:19.000
But my goal here is that you will have the opportunity to learn what the Job Search Academy is,
00:03:19.000 –> 00:03:24.000
What the partnership opportunity is, and how you can take advantage of it
00:03:24.000 –> 00:03:31.000
If you wish to. Alright, now, um, I did see a comment from an individual saying they were having trouble with their sound,
00:03:31.000 –> 00:03:39.000
Is anyone else having difficulty with sound? If so, just drop a little note into the chat, and we’ll try and address that. Um, if we need to.
00:03:39.000 –> 00:03:48.000
Um, I’m not sure what I can do on my end. Kim might be able to do something on her end, but it might be the sound setting on your own computer, so check those audio tools
00:03:48.000 –> 00:03:54.000
Um, that you have in your Zoom dashboard, and it light on that. Alright, Beauty, I see some notes that it’s good on my end, so
00:03:54.000 –> 00:04:00.000
I am gonna proceed. Okay, so what exactly is this Job Search Academy?
00:04:00.000 –> 00:04:06.000
Um, it’s a free resource that is available to all career centers, career centers and workforce boards.
00:04:06.000 –> 00:04:14.000
Career centers at colleges and universities, and not-for-profit career centers. Anyone who is providing job search assistance services
00:04:14.000 –> 00:04:18.000
can have one of these pages, or multiple of these pages,
00:04:18.000 –> 00:04:24.000
connected to their organization so they can provide all of Indeed’s resources for workers in one place.
00:04:24.000 –> 00:04:31.000
place. There is… it’s a simple URL we create for you, your own personal front door,
00:04:31.000 –> 00:04:41.000
to Indeed’s resources, there are no data integrations of any kind. We don’t see the user information or the PII of the constituents that you serve.
00:04:41.000 –> 00:04:43.000
It’s a very light,
00:04:43.000 –> 00:04:46.000
marketing partnership that allows you to incorporate our resources.
00:04:46.000 –> 00:04:49.000
Well, why the heck are we doing this?
00:04:49.000 –> 00:04:53.000
You may know this, you may not, but 82%
00:04:53.000 –> 00:04:56.000
of online job seekers in the U.S.
00:04:56.000 –> 00:04:59.000
Use Indeed. Certainly not exclusively.
00:04:59.000 –> 00:05:09.000
But they use our resources. This is according to Comscore. Well, we did our own research, too, and we learned that when we just asked all job seekers in the U.S. in a survey a couple of years ago,
00:05:09.000 –> 00:05:14.000
74% of job seekers, not just online job seekers,
00:05:14.000 –> 00:05:20.000
are using Indeed in 80% of Gen Z is using Indeed. I mean, that makes sense, because
00:05:20.000 –> 00:05:27.000
Most people are starting with online resources, and most people are starting with Indeed.
00:05:27.000 –> 00:05:34.000
Because most people start with online resources before they ever come into your office or talk to a friend, or talk.
00:05:34.000 –> 00:05:42.000
to a family member. And they continue using these online resources to research companies in preparations for interviews,
00:05:42.000 –> 00:05:48.000
And then, as they decide where they want to go to work. Now, we had indeed think this is kind of cool, because we are
00:05:48.000 –> 00:05:52.000
the world’s number one job site and matching platform,
00:05:52.000 –> 00:06:04.000
And we are the largest job site in the world. We’re in 60 countries and 28 languages as well. But the trouble is, and this has been my… my issue with us at Indeed, is this is all most people think about.
00:06:04.000 –> 00:06:08.000
Um, there should be a screen share. Yes, Nicole?
00:06:08.000 –> 00:06:14.000
Um, are you seeing the screen share? I am sharing my screen. Is anyone not seeing it?
00:06:14.000 –> 00:06:20.000
Yeah, no, Matt, we don’t see the screen, we see, I think, maybe just your desktop. It says, we help people get jobs.
00:06:20.000 –> 00:06:24.000
Well, that’s interesting. Well, thank you for pointing that out.
00:06:24.000 –> 00:06:28.000
Let’s get that screen shared properly here.
00:06:28.000 –> 00:06:34.000
And I do apologize, because when we did our run-through, I thought that that was the screen.
00:06:34.000 –> 00:06:35.000
There we go, perfect.
00:06:35.000 –> 00:06:40.000
Alrighty, are we seeing this now? There we go! Well, listen, you got a chance to listen to me speak and see our mission statement there for a while.
00:06:40.000 –> 00:06:47.000
But here we go! And this is actually the most important spot. I will… I will tell you, you’re gonna get all of these slides yourself.
00:06:47.000 –> 00:06:52.000
I’m going to provide Kim a PDF so that you will get them, and you’ll have all of these fun data points.
00:06:52.000 –> 00:06:54.000
that I just talked my way through.
00:06:54.000 –> 00:06:58.000
But thank you for catching us on that, and for pointing that out.
00:06:58.000 –> 00:07:03.000
So, this is where we stopped before we got caught up with the slide share.
00:07:03.000 –> 00:07:13.000
Um, this is all most people think about when they think about Indeed. And they don’t realize that in addition to being this world’s largest job search engine,
00:07:13.000 –> 00:07:19.000
We have an AI tool called CareerScout, which is an AI coaching tool built into the AI… into the Indeed app.
00:07:19.000 –> 00:07:29.000
We have in our company pages the results of the world’s largest work well-being survey, which is rating more than 90,000 companies around the world.
00:07:29.000 –> 00:07:31.000
on things like job satisfaction,
00:07:31.000 –> 00:07:38.000
Um, uh, work happiness, sense of purpose at work, and stress level at work. 30 million responses and going strong.
00:07:38.000 –> 00:07:46.000
We have in those same pages employee reviews and company-specific job and salary information.
00:07:46.000 –> 00:07:53.000
A multimedia resource library on YouTube, of YouTube Shorts focused on career exploration and job search.
00:07:53.000 –> 00:08:00.000
Um, we have a career guide with over 100,000 articles on it, great for job search and career exploration.
00:08:00.000 –> 00:08:08.000
Um, and AI tools built into our… into our profile. I would ask if I could see all of your faces. Did you know we had all of these resources?
00:08:08.000 –> 00:08:20.000
And what I know is most people will go, no, we don’t. I didn’t know you had all of this stuff. Thank you. I… Geraldlyn, I can see you, so I appreciate you popping on the screen and showing me that you can’t see it. It’s not your fault, it’s ours!
00:08:20.000 –> 00:08:28.000
We’ve done a lousy job of telling people about all of these resources, and I guess I complained about it enough that they let me do something about it.
00:08:28.000 –> 00:08:32.000
And they let me create the job search academy.
00:08:32.000 –> 00:08:38.000
And this job search academy takes all of the resources for Indeed,
00:08:38.000 –> 00:08:47.000
puts them in one place, and wraps them in free, live, and on-demand job seeker education.
00:08:47.000 –> 00:08:51.000
The foundation of which are the five workshops that you see on the screen, one on
00:08:51.000 –> 00:08:59.000
Job search, one on resume writing, one on interview preparation, one on offer evaluation and negotiation, and one on career management.
00:08:59.000 –> 00:09:08.000
These five workshops are based on workshops that I first started developing in 1993, when I took my first job in career services,
00:09:08.000 –> 00:09:12.000
and have been developing and honing and refining ever since.
00:09:12.000 –> 00:09:20.000
So we launched this a few years ago, and a couple of schools and a couple of workforce boards said, hey, this is kind of neat.
00:09:20.000 –> 00:09:25.000
Can I just link to this on our webpage the way we might link to Indeed.com?
00:09:25.000 –> 00:09:32.000
And I said, sure, you could, but what if I built for you your own front door to all of these resources?
00:09:32.000 –> 00:09:42.000
And that was the birthplace of the job search academy partnership program. This is one of the very first pages and our very first Workforce Board partner.
00:09:42.000 –> 00:09:47.000
The Westchester Putnam County Workforce Development Board and their Career Center Network.
00:09:47.000 –> 00:09:52.000
When we build a page for you, we co-brand it with your logo and ours,
00:09:52.000 –> 00:09:54.000
We give you real estate on the page,
00:09:54.000 –> 00:09:56.000
you get to feature certain
00:09:56.000 –> 00:10:06.000
resources from Indeed, including our YouTube channel and our career guide. And you get to put this wherever you think it makes sense, and I’m going to show you some examples.
00:10:06.000 –> 00:10:09.000
In your web presence, and you can use it
00:10:09.000 –> 00:10:16.000
As career coaches and counselors, and you can make it available for direct one-on, uh, direct self-serve use
00:10:16.000 –> 00:10:19.000
with your users. We think this makes sense.
00:10:19.000 –> 00:10:22.000
Because it allows you to present in Deeds’ resources,
00:10:22.000 –> 00:10:25.000
as components of your own.
00:10:25.000 –> 00:10:28.000
Look, we already know they’re coming to us.
00:10:28.000 –> 00:10:35.000
As an old lifelong career coach who believes in career services wherever they’re being delivered,
00:10:35.000 –> 00:10:38.000
I would rather they come to us through you,
00:10:38.000 –> 00:10:42.000
Instead of coming to us as an alternative to you.
00:10:42.000 –> 00:10:52.000
Because the resources that you offer are super important, and you can help guide the job seekers that you work with through these services when it’s the right time to use them.
00:10:52.000 –> 00:10:57.000
So it’s a great resource for your constituents, it’s a great resource for your coaches and counselors,
00:10:57.000 –> 00:11:03.000
It helps people get jobs, and it’s free. And heck, who doesn’t like free, right?
00:11:03.000 –> 00:11:05.000
So, when you have a partner page,
00:11:05.000 –> 00:11:10.000
We take the logo that you provide us, like Westchester did, and we lock it up with the Indeed logo,
00:11:10.000 –> 00:11:14.000
underneath this banner, we give you those logos, by the way.
00:11:14.000 –> 00:11:23.000
We give you real estate on the page where you can feature your own resources and services, as you saw in the Westchester example.
00:11:23.000 –> 00:11:25.000
We then let you select two,
00:11:25.000 –> 00:11:32.000
or 4 from the 8 resources that you see here on the screen to feature on your page.
00:11:32.000 –> 00:11:36.000
And we can give you advice on which resources might make the most sense for you.
00:11:36.000 –> 00:11:41.000
You get our YouTube channel, you get our career guide on the page.
00:11:41.000 –> 00:11:49.000
Then we give you that full set of logos, those logo lockups, so you can incorporate it into your web presence how and however you want to.
00:11:49.000 –> 00:11:55.000
We create a nice little vanity URL for you so it’s easy to share, should you choose to share it.
00:11:55.000 –> 00:11:59.000
And then we put tracking parameters on the links on your page
00:11:59.000 –> 00:12:04.000
So that we can tell you how much volume your page is getting. We can’t tell you who.
00:12:04.000 –> 00:12:08.000
We can’t tell you a lot of what, but we can tell you how much.
00:12:08.000 –> 00:12:14.000
And traffic volume is one way that you could measure the benefit and the impact of
00:12:14.000 –> 00:12:16.000
a resource.
00:12:16.000 –> 00:12:25.000
This is the Westchester page again. I shared in my little introduction the link to our main job search academy page,
00:12:25.000 –> 00:12:30.000
And I’m going to do it again right now, because I know there were some people who joined us,
00:12:30.000 –> 00:12:34.000
Afterwards, and may not have seen that.
00:12:34.000 –> 00:12:38.000
So I’m typing it in right now…
00:12:38.000 –> 00:12:45.000
So that you all will have it, because that is where I am going to go right now.
00:12:45.000 –> 00:12:49.000
This is, as it refreshes here quickly…
00:12:49.000 –> 00:12:55.000
The main job search academy landing page. This is sort of our main public-facing page.
00:12:55.000 –> 00:13:00.000
Which has all of the components of the Job Search Academy in it.
00:13:00.000 –> 00:13:04.000
But what I want to draw your attention to is this
00:13:04.000 –> 00:13:08.000
Become a Job Search Academy Partner section. Because if you click on it,
00:13:08.000 –> 00:13:14.000
And learn more, you can click on the Become a Partner button and get connected directly with me
00:13:14.000 –> 00:13:17.000
through a simple, um, request.
00:13:17.000 –> 00:13:25.000
But if you scroll down here, you will see we have lots and lots of university partners right now, because that was our focus during the first two years.
00:13:25.000 –> 00:13:30.000
But you will see the nonprofit and government agency partners that we have right now.
00:13:30.000 –> 00:13:40.000
Including the Alameda County Workforce Development Board, Erie 21, DC Works, Saratoga Ward in Washington, Tompkins County, the U.S. Department of Labor, and our
00:13:40.000 –> 00:13:49.000
Our original partner, Westchester Putnam County, followed by Rockland County, and you can click on it and see that. I’m just going to take you
00:13:49.000 –> 00:13:54.000
to the Westchester County page right now, and let that refresh here quickly.
00:13:54.000 –> 00:13:57.000
So, this is what a partner page looks like when you have one.
00:13:57.000 –> 00:14:08.000
We brand you up in the name, we brand you in the body content, and then we do this nice logo lockup so that the constituents you serve will see this is coming
00:14:08.000 –> 00:14:11.000
to them, from you, and indeed.
00:14:11.000 –> 00:14:16.000
You will see we have the five-part curriculum, the Job Search Academy,
00:14:16.000 –> 00:14:21.000
5-part on-demand curriculum, and I’m going to take you through all of this stuff.
00:14:21.000 –> 00:14:31.000
You get your space on the page, your logo locked up, information that you provide, and they have one call to action button, but you can actually have
00:14:31.000 –> 00:14:34.000
Two call-to-action buttons on your page.
00:14:34.000 –> 00:14:38.000
You can see Westchester right now has selected two options,
00:14:38.000 –> 00:14:47.000
Because they… we just started offering 4, and they haven’t even made a decision as to whether they want to increase from 2 to 4 or not. But this is what 2
00:14:47.000 –> 00:14:50.000
Options look like, and they’ve selected Career Services from Indeed,
00:14:50.000 –> 00:14:52.000
and manage your profile.
00:14:52.000 –> 00:15:01.000
And then you’ve got the Indeed YouTube channel, the Career Guide, and a little light testimonial information that just talks about how important it is
00:15:01.000 –> 00:15:07.000
to be involved in active career planning and management, and how beneficial this program can be.
00:15:07.000 –> 00:15:12.000
So you have everything from, indeed, the career guide, the YouTube channel,
00:15:12.000 –> 00:15:14.000
Some of our resources.
00:15:14.000 –> 00:15:17.000
Of course, information on you,
00:15:17.000 –> 00:15:22.000
The Academy game plan workshops, and HOME, which is job search on Indeed,
00:15:22.000 –> 00:15:28.000
The company reviews, which is where you find the company information, including the work well-being information, the reviews,
00:15:28.000 –> 00:15:38.000
And the company-specific job and salary information, then find salaries, our salary database, and then users can get to their Indeed account.
00:15:38.000 –> 00:15:43.000
Now, I will be honest, people will be encouraged to create accounts on Indeed.
00:15:43.000 –> 00:15:45.000
83% of people are already using Indeed.
00:15:45.000 –> 00:15:50.000
But they’re going to be encouraged to create an account, because Indeed’s not a job board.
00:15:50.000 –> 00:15:59.000
It’s a job search engine. And everyone’s search results are unique to them and are a product of the information in their profile and their search behavior.
00:15:59.000 –> 00:16:03.000
So the most effective way to use Indeed is by having and maintaining
00:16:03.000 –> 00:16:09.000
a profile. Now, before I jump into it, I want to show you a couple of places how this shows up.
00:16:09.000 –> 00:16:12.000
Westchester has included this.
00:16:12.000 –> 00:16:17.000
As I refresh the page real quickly, you can see Westchester has included this
00:16:17.000 –> 00:16:28.000
in their workshops section, because their focus is on the workshops of the Job Search Academy. And you can see how they’re featuring it and how they’ve brought the logo into it as well.
00:16:28.000 –> 00:16:34.000
This is Alameda County. Alameda County, you see, has locked up there.
00:16:34.000 –> 00:16:41.000
And they have their resources in here as well, and you will find the Job Search Academy within the Alameda counties,
00:16:41.000 –> 00:16:46.000
website, as it refreshes here quickly.
00:16:46.000 –> 00:16:48.000
Not sure why that happened.
00:16:48.000 –> 00:16:59.000
There it is! You can see in their job resources section, one of the very first things you see is the resources from the Job Search Academy.
00:16:59.000 –> 00:17:01.000
list amongst all of the other resources.
00:17:01.000 –> 00:17:05.000
Where would this go on your website? It’s entirely up to you.
00:17:05.000 –> 00:17:14.000
We want you to use it in a way that is beneficial to your career counselors and to the job seekers that you serve.
00:17:14.000 –> 00:17:21.000
And we want you to put it in places that will offer the most meaning. All we ask is that you tell us where you put it, so that we can
00:17:21.000 –> 00:17:26.000
do demonstrations like this, and show other people how the job search academy is being used
00:17:26.000 –> 00:17:36.000
by different organizations. Now let’s jump in really quick and look at the Job Search Academy itself. I’m going to reopen the chat window for me, because it closed.
00:17:36.000 –> 00:17:44.000
to see if there’s any questions that come in, please just drop them into the chat, and we’ll go with it. I’m going to start…
00:17:44.000 –> 00:17:48.000
with the Job Search Academy content itself, and each of these different workshops.
00:17:48.000 –> 00:17:52.000
So when you go into one of these sections, you will see each
00:17:52.000 –> 00:18:00.000
Workshop has a page of its own, and it features that workshop. Now, we’re not going to watch it here on YouTube.
00:18:00.000 –> 00:18:04.000
is I’m going to stop that, but I do want to show you
00:18:04.000 –> 00:18:11.000
what you get. Every workshop is chaptered out so that you can see the various steps that we go through in our advising.
00:18:11.000 –> 00:18:16.000
And you will see that this is actual career coaching, not career coaching on Indeed.
00:18:16.000 –> 00:18:23.000
I’m a lifelong career coach. We realize that Indeed can be a big part of job search, but we’re not the end-all, be-all.
00:18:23.000 –> 00:18:28.000
All roads do not lead to Indeed in our coaching, and you will see that as we go through.
00:18:28.000 –> 00:18:36.000
You can see we try to keep them as interactive as possible, because when we’re defining, doing things like defining your objectives,
00:18:36.000 –> 00:18:39.000
a link to this worksheet will pop up.
00:18:39.000 –> 00:18:41.000
where users can go in,
00:18:41.000 –> 00:18:49.000
and create their own, download this, and write down their own job search objectives. This could be a good tool.
00:18:49.000 –> 00:18:51.000
to work with as a career coach.
00:18:51.000 –> 00:18:59.000
You see when we get into inventorying your talent and your experience, we have another nice little tool that pops up.
00:18:59.000 –> 00:19:05.000
To help people craft those all-important star statements that help them articulate the skills
00:19:05.000 –> 00:19:07.000
that they have.
00:19:07.000 –> 00:19:11.000
And each of these workshops,
00:19:11.000 –> 00:19:16.000
have ancillary materials that go along with them, content from our career guide,
00:19:16.000 –> 00:19:24.000
and other resources from Indeed, and then at the very bottom, it shows the user where they are in the journey through what we are calling our
00:19:24.000 –> 00:19:28.000
Job search, all-star Curriculum.
00:19:28.000 –> 00:19:36.000
From each of these pages, you can get to our live webinars as well. Every month, we host an open coaching session,
00:19:36.000 –> 00:19:45.000
called Ask a Career Strategist that anyone can come, and we have two career coaches answering questions for an hour. These are all free to attend.
00:19:45.000 –> 00:19:51.000
Every month, we do an Indeed Bootcamp, which is a one-hour tutorial on how to use Indeed.
00:19:51.000 –> 00:19:57.000
About 20 minutes worth of tutorial, and 40 minutes worth of Q&A. Again, anyone can attend.
00:19:57.000 –> 00:20:06.000
And once a month, we do a topical webinar. I’m going to click there, and you can see earlier this month, we did the AI Advantage.
00:20:06.000 –> 00:20:09.000
on January 13th, you can actually go in and watch
00:20:09.000 –> 00:20:13.000
the recording now. We did an Indeed boot camp on the 21st.
00:20:13.000 –> 00:20:17.000
And on the 27th, just yesterday, we did our ASCO Career Strategist,
00:20:17.000 –> 00:20:22.000
Our next workshop coming up, we’re doing in partnership with AARP,
00:20:22.000 –> 00:20:28.000
It’s called Confidently Navigating Today’s Job Market, Smart Strategies for Experienced Workers, and you can
00:20:28.000 –> 00:20:32.000
registered to attend that if you want to experience it live.
00:20:32.000 –> 00:20:40.000
You can also see a complete library of all of the workshops that we’ve done. Here’s the recording of the AI Advantage.
00:20:40.000 –> 00:20:44.000
that have included everything from making your performance review work for you,
00:20:44.000 –> 00:20:48.000
to no degree, no problem, finding work that values your skills.
00:20:48.000 –> 00:20:51.000
Planning an exit strategy,
00:20:51.000 –> 00:20:56.000
Strategies for job seekers with, uh, to combat imposter syndrome.
00:20:56.000 –> 00:21:02.000
strategies for job seekers with criminal records, strategies, there’s that. Strategies for job seekers,
00:21:02.000 –> 00:21:04.000
with, uh, with disabilities,
00:21:04.000 –> 00:21:07.000
transitioning from military to civilian,
00:21:07.000 –> 00:21:14.000
All of this content is available to you for free through the Job Search Academy. We’re trying to be an extended
00:21:14.000 –> 00:21:20.000
Um, support, uh, to your career center. We are typically having anywhere between
00:21:20.000 –> 00:21:26.000
500 and 1,000 people join these topical workshops, and 100 to 150 people
00:21:26.000 –> 00:21:33.000
joining our Indeed bootcamps and, um, ask a career strategist sessions as well.
00:21:33.000 –> 00:21:37.000
So we really encourage folks to dig in to those workshops.
00:21:37.000 –> 00:21:42.000
That’s the content from the job search academy. When you come down here, you will see
00:21:42.000 –> 00:21:47.000
YouTube is the second most used search engine after Google.
00:21:47.000 –> 00:21:52.000
And we’re very active on YouTube with brief day in the life
00:21:52.000 –> 00:21:56.000
short videos, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, how to use Indeed.
00:21:56.000 –> 00:22:01.000
Job search stories about job ghostings, no degree, no problem.
00:22:01.000 –> 00:22:03.000
Uh, around your search strategy.
00:22:03.000 –> 00:22:07.000
additional day-in-the-life videos.
00:22:07.000 –> 00:22:12.000
interview preparation videos. As I said, there are over 5,000 videos
00:22:12.000 –> 00:22:19.000
designed to be accessible for people who learn by watching, and many people learn by viewing YouTube.
00:22:19.000 –> 00:22:27.000
Our career guide is a wonderful resource as well. There are over 100,000 articles, everything from finding a job, resumes, cover letters,
00:22:27.000 –> 00:22:34.000
To just general career exploration. So let’s say, for example, you had an individual… I like using goofy ones.
00:22:34.000 –> 00:22:41.000
You know, what can you do if you’re interested in being a funeral director, if you want to work in mortuary sciences?
00:22:41.000 –> 00:22:47.000
Let’s just look at funeral director.
00:22:47.000 –> 00:22:49.000
What does a funeral director do? How do you become one?
00:22:49.000 –> 00:22:53.000
Jobs and morgues, funeral home jobs.
00:22:53.000 –> 00:22:57.000
Business owners. Well, how about that? These folks are all business owners.
00:22:57.000 –> 00:23:07.000
Jobs in public relations. Well, maybe there’s a public relations bent to that. This is just a neat way of showing that there is a lot of information that might be beneficial to you
00:23:07.000 –> 00:23:14.000
When a job seeker comes into your office and says, you know, I don’t know what to do, but I know that I want to work
00:23:14.000 –> 00:23:23.000
in customer service. Let’s just do that here really quickly.
00:23:23.000 –> 00:23:32.000
And there’s a lot of different articles. Now, all of these articles are written and sourced by human beings, look at that, Strategies for Helping Rude Customers.
00:23:32.000 –> 00:23:35.000
Let’s going on? I might have just found a page.
00:23:35.000 –> 00:23:40.000
I might have just found an article that is broken. Let’s try this one.
00:23:40.000 –> 00:23:48.000
you will see there’s an article when it was updated or written, and it will always be… have an author attribution. In this case,
00:23:48.000 –> 00:23:50.000
The Indeed editorial team.
00:23:50.000 –> 00:23:57.000
So there’s lots of great information, and we want you to know that human eyes see it and approve it before it ever gets
00:23:57.000 –> 00:24:01.000
into our career guide.
00:24:01.000 –> 00:24:08.000
Now, manage your profile is one of the choices that you have when you want to create a page, as is Career Services from Indeed. As I said,
00:24:08.000 –> 00:24:15.000
There are, um, 8 different options that we can dig into, uh, and different choices that you have.
00:24:15.000 –> 00:24:20.000
So you have… you can hear the 2 or 4. And then, of course, you get our salary database.
00:24:20.000 –> 00:24:27.000
If I were to type in registered nurse right now in the United States, you would see that the salary data is based on
00:24:27.000 –> 00:24:33.000
Almost a quarter of a million salary data points, and I could look at the United States,
00:24:33.000 –> 00:24:36.000
I could look at a specific state,
00:24:36.000 –> 00:24:39.000
and update the statistics to that state,
00:24:39.000 –> 00:24:42.000
And I could update it to a specific city.
00:24:42.000 –> 00:24:50.000
And the data will update, and it’ll provide job opportunities, highest paying cities, and the ability to compare.
00:24:50.000 –> 00:24:53.000
And if these are jobs you’re interested in in Los Angeles,
00:24:53.000 –> 00:24:58.000
Click on See More Jobs, and it takes you directly into Job Search.
00:24:58.000 –> 00:25:05.000
On Indeed. And then, of course, there’s the company pages section. I will just look up Indeed so as not to pick up on it, pick on any other company.
00:25:05.000 –> 00:25:12.000
When you search for a company and you find it, and you can go in and see that, you can find their work well-being scores.
00:25:12.000 –> 00:25:19.000
You can find information on why people might want to go to work for Indeed, which is great for doing research.
00:25:19.000 –> 00:25:21.000
In preparation for an interview.
00:25:21.000 –> 00:25:28.000
You can find reviews written by people who worked at that company, and you can search them by title or department.
00:25:28.000 –> 00:25:32.000
You can find company-specific salary information.
00:25:32.000 –> 00:25:36.000
and company-specific available job opportunities,
00:25:36.000 –> 00:25:47.000
Q&A insights, and then insights on what it’s like to interview with that company. I know this is 30 minutes of excellence, and we’re coming up on the last 5 minutes of excellence that we have.
00:25:47.000 –> 00:25:49.000
So I want to jump back and just share with you
00:25:49.000 –> 00:25:52.000
really quickly.
00:25:52.000 –> 00:25:57.000
the different options that we have that you can choose to add into your page.
00:25:57.000 –> 00:26:03.000
As we move forward in this. If this is something that interests you, there is an agreement that we need to sign.
00:26:03.000 –> 00:26:07.000
It basically says, we’re agreeing to do this, there is no cost.
00:26:07.000 –> 00:26:14.000
We’re putting our logos together for this purpose. We don’t get any PII from you, you don’t get any PI from us.
00:26:14.000 –> 00:26:19.000
I imagine you will have contracts, people who would want to look at this, because everyone does.
00:26:19.000 –> 00:26:25.000
We’ve successfully navigated this process already with a number of workforce development boards,
00:26:25.000 –> 00:26:33.000
universities and university systems, and I will share this specific document with you if this is something that interests you.
00:26:33.000 –> 00:26:41.000
We believe this can help expand your capacity. We believe it can help you provide additional just-in-time support
00:26:41.000 –> 00:26:47.000
to the people that you serve from a credible resource, the world’s largest job search engine.
00:26:47.000 –> 00:26:52.000
It’s free, there are no data integrations or exchange of PII,
00:26:52.000 –> 00:26:57.000
we think it’s pretty easy. To get started, reach out to me, I can get all of this information to you.
00:26:57.000 –> 00:27:01.000
So that we can either have a further one-on-one conversation about this,
00:27:01.000 –> 00:27:07.000
Or we can just proceed with trying to move forward. Generally speaking, it takes 3 to 6 weeks, but working with
00:27:07.000 –> 00:27:15.000
State organizations, it can often take a little bit longer than that. The longest thing is getting the agreement through your review
00:27:15.000 –> 00:27:21.000
process. And with that, I’m happy to take whatever additional questions that you might have in the remaining 3 minutes.
00:27:21.000 –> 00:27:23.000
that we have during our
00:27:23.000 –> 00:27:25.000
30 minutes of excellence.
00:27:25.000 –> 00:27:27.000
What questions can I answer for you all?
00:27:27.000 –> 00:27:38.000
Will the deck be shared? Jerilyn, absolutely it will. I am going to share a PDF of this deck with Kim so that she can make it available with the, um…
00:27:38.000 –> 00:27:44.000
Recording that will up there, but if, uh, that will be up there, but if you want to reach out to me directly, because you want to
00:27:44.000 –> 00:27:48.000
get started on exploring this further.
00:27:48.000 –> 00:27:58.000
I just dropped my email address into the chat, and it’s on the screen as well. And then if you go to that partner information, we’ll just ask you for your contact information again.
00:27:58.000 –> 00:28:02.000
And if you email me, I’ll get that anyway.
00:28:02.000 –> 00:28:07.000
Other questions about the program?
00:28:07.000 –> 00:28:12.000
So, Matt, it looks like a question has come in about, are there any company size restrictions?
00:28:12.000 –> 00:28:16.000
Um, well, now, company size restrictions, I’m a little…
00:28:16.000 –> 00:28:22.000
I’m gonna answer that in a couple of ways so I understand the question. Employers of all shapes and sizes
00:28:22.000 –> 00:28:28.000
From everywhere across the U.S. are on Indeed. And if you’re not sure, I would encourage you to go on Indeed,
00:28:28.000 –> 00:28:34.000
Type in your zip code, and find out how many jobs are on Indeed that are really, really close
00:28:34.000 –> 00:28:41.000
to that zip code. Now, is there any requirement on size of agency or organization that can have a page?
00:28:41.000 –> 00:28:47.000
No. We will work with any university, we will work with any non-profit,
00:28:47.000 –> 00:28:52.000
that has a focus on job development or career development of the people that they serve.
00:28:52.000 –> 00:28:59.000
And we will work with any government agency of any size that is focused on workforce development
00:28:59.000 –> 00:29:04.000
And job… and, um, job development of the people that they work with.
00:29:04.000 –> 00:29:09.000
The only pe… the only thing we won’t let anyone do is put our resources here behind a paywall.
00:29:09.000 –> 00:29:15.000
These are free resources, and we don’t want someone to charge for access to them.
00:29:15.000 –> 00:29:20.000
That’s our only rule when it comes to the Job Search Academy Partner Program.
00:29:20.000 –> 00:29:25.000
Perfect. Uh, there’s another question from Heather, says, have you partnered with any tribes yet?
00:29:25.000 –> 00:29:30.000
Have I partnered with any… what was that again?
00:29:30.000 –> 00:29:31.000
Tribal organizations, you know, we have not yet, but I would certainly love to.
00:29:31.000 –> 00:29:35.000
tribes, tribal organizations?
00:29:35.000 –> 00:29:41.000
As long as you’re a not-for-profit, a government agency, or an educational institution, and you’re not charging.
00:29:41.000 –> 00:29:46.000
Folks, for stuff, but I would love to enter into that conversation.
00:29:46.000 –> 00:29:51.000
Awesome. So, Heather, maybe if you… you can reach out, make that connection.
00:29:51.000 –> 00:29:59.000
And then Nancy has asked, is that a, um, for the academy, for the Job Search Academy different from what you would get from DOL?
00:29:59.000 –> 00:30:03.000
Um, yes, it is, because these are not DOL resources.
00:30:03.000 –> 00:30:12.000
These are not O-Net resources. This is all content generated by and through Indeed. So the salary database that we have,
00:30:12.000 –> 00:30:14.000
The salary data is based
00:30:14.000 –> 00:30:21.000
on jobs posted to Indeed, and it’s updated regularly. It’s a rolling average, low average, and high salary.
00:30:21.000 –> 00:30:24.000
Um, over the course of 36 months,
00:30:24.000 –> 00:30:30.000
And we’re updating it on a rolling monthly basis, and we always have the date of update on it. The jobs
00:30:30.000 –> 00:30:35.000
These are jobs being posted by Indeed, and they are coming from employers
00:30:35.000 –> 00:30:40.000
Um, government employers, not-for-profit employers, for-profit employers, big, small, medium size.
00:30:40.000 –> 00:30:49.000
The content in our career guide is original content from Indeed. The content on our YouTube channel is original content from Indeed as well. We have teams
00:30:49.000 –> 00:30:53.000
that work on all of these different parts of the program.
00:30:53.000 –> 00:30:58.000
Awesome, and I think maybe one more question we have here is.
00:30:58.000 –> 00:31:00.000
Um, can the resources be assessed without agreements?
00:31:00.000 –> 00:31:08.000
You sure can. The benefit of the agreement is it allows you to put… you could go to that URL that I shared at the very beginning,
00:31:08.000 –> 00:31:16.000
go.indeed.com slash jobsearch Academy and have access to all of this stuff right now without any kind of partner agreement.
00:31:16.000 –> 00:31:19.000
With the partner agreement allows you to do is to
00:31:19.000 –> 00:31:21.000
Have your own front door.
00:31:21.000 –> 00:31:27.000
your own co-branded front door to these resources. But if you want to dig into this stuff now, I would love that.
00:31:27.000 –> 00:31:30.000
And if you want to have your own page, I would love that also.
00:31:30.000 –> 00:31:40.000
I see a question from Keeley that says, if we come and be partner, do you have a recorded tutorial of the academy that our navigators could view? We do one better than that.
00:31:40.000 –> 00:31:43.000
We do a quarterly partner training session.
00:31:43.000 –> 00:31:54.000
It’s a one-hour session we do every quarter, where we do a quick tutorial on the Job Search Academy, we bring in one of our partners to spotlight how they’re using the job search academy,
00:31:54.000 –> 00:32:03.000
And then we share other resources from Indeed, and we do that for our quarterly… for our partners. In fact, the Alameda County folks were one of our spotlights a little while back.
00:32:03.000 –> 00:32:07.000
We also have a partner, excuse me,
00:32:07.000 –> 00:32:14.000
a marketing toolkit that we provide to all of our partners that includes resources that we’ve done and that our partners have used
00:32:14.000 –> 00:32:19.000
Because we don’t feel folks should have to recreate the wheel every single time.
00:32:19.000 –> 00:32:25.000
Um, can you work with a not-for-profit career coach minus an organizational partner agreement?
00:32:25.000 –> 00:32:27.000
Um…
00:32:27.000 –> 00:32:37.000
Again, anyone can use these resources without a partnership agreement. The partnership agreement is here to allow you to embed in Deeds’ resources
00:32:37.000 –> 00:32:43.000
as a component of your own, and to visually present them as coming in partnership.
00:32:43.000 –> 00:32:49.000
You don’t have to do that. This is a way to sort of show people that you’re coming to Indeed through us.
00:32:49.000 –> 00:32:53.000
using Indeed without that is basically showcasing Indeed, which we love.
00:32:53.000 –> 00:32:56.000
But we want to give you to do that the opportunity
00:32:56.000 –> 00:33:02.000
and incorporate your own message into it as well.
00:33:02.000 –> 00:33:03.000
All right.
00:33:03.000 –> 00:33:09.000
Awesome, and I think we have one more question from Dennis, uh, that we missed. In addition to your resume, are you able to upload your portfolio?
00:33:09.000 –> 00:33:14.000
Um, there is not a way to upload a portfolio, but you can’t upload links.
00:33:14.000 –> 00:33:21.000
two things. Within your Indeed portfolio. Now, I don’t have time today to get into a tutorial on Indeed,
00:33:21.000 –> 00:33:24.000
You can watch the, um… you can watch the, uh…
00:33:24.000 –> 00:33:33.000
recording of our last bootcamp, or join the next one, but you’re… you can upload your resume to your Indeed profile, and then tweak it and tailor it, add your preferences.
00:33:33.000 –> 00:33:36.000
The Indeed profile is a pretty rich tool.
00:33:36.000 –> 00:33:43.000
Um, but, um, our Indeed boot camps provide a monthly overview of that entire process.
00:33:43.000 –> 00:33:44.000
I like your comment, Jeanette. I think this is some good stuff, too.
00:33:44.000 –> 00:33:54.000
Awesome. Well, thanks! So, at… It is some absolutely wonderful stuff. This has been a true 30 minutes, a full 30 minutes of excellence.
00:33:54.000 –> 00:34:01.000
Matt, thank you so much for joining us today. Um, I will say, if you will be attending our annual conference, um, in Phoenix.
00:34:01.000 –> 00:34:15.000
Uh, in May, Matt will be there, so check him out. He will be there along with his team. Um, but Matt, again, thank you for joining us today and giving us so much great information. Uh, to everybody who joined us for our first 30 Minutes of Excellence.
00:34:15.000 –> 00:34:25.000
Thank you for giving us your time today. I will be getting that sent out, the recording, along with all the additional resources and the slide deck from Matt. I’ll get that sent out to you by the end of the week.
00:34:25.000 –> 00:34:28.000
So thank you all, and have a wonderful rest of your Wednesday!
00:34:28.000 –> 00:34:35.000
Wonderful, and anyone who wants to start package, just email me, and I will get it out to you, and we can start moving with the process.
00:34:35.000 –> 00:34:39.000
Have a wonderful day, everyone. Take care.
