In this week’s episode of The Rowbo Show, we take a nostalgic and insightful look back at Mark’s job search journey in the 1980s. From handwritten cover letters to formal responses from companies, we read actual letters Mark received—some inviting him to move forward in the hiring process, others politely declining. It's a fascinating glimpse into how much the job hunt has evolved. We also dive into resume best practices, discussing the importance of tailoring your resume for each position, keeping it concise and factual, and ensuring your contact info is up to date. Plus, we talk about how AI and ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are shaping the way resumes are reviewed today. To top it off, Mark shares a memorable story from December 7th, 1981, about his time as an escort monitor for the University of Minnesota Police Department—and how he played a key role in saving the entire program. It’s a reflective, informative, and entertaining episode packed with timeless career wisdom.

Hosts: Mark Rowbottom, Joe Moralez
