With Radio Talk Show Host
Mark Rowbottom
This is a show where I deal with careers and conundrums. Over the course of my long tenured business I have influenced and helped thousands of people in their careers. I’ve enjoyed this part of my work more than any other aspect – I love helping others! I have coached on everything from resume writing, interview preparation, giving/working your notice and the on boarding processes. While doing all of this I have gained a library of knowledge. The biggest piece of knowledge has been every situation is a snowflake or unique. There is no template for the right answer or decision. I deal with people on people and it cannot get more complicated in life. We all share these challenges and my goal is to share my knowledge and to give back for all of those people in my life that have moved me forward. We are talking about tough personal business situations that are real and need to be dealt with. We all have career issues, what is yours? I may be of assistance to you and man do I love that!
The Rowbo Show airs on Riverwest Radio WXRW 104.1 FM.
If you have a question that you’d like me to address on the air, I’d encourage you to contact me at mark@rowbottom.com because I’d love to help you with the unique challenges you might be experiencing.
