<p>Ep. 29 - Helping People Join the Burgeoning Cannabis Workforce</p> <p>With the current unemployment rate as high as it is, and the cannabis industry creating jobs at unprecedented numbers, it's almost the perfect match. However, the first step is landing the interview, and what do you need to land an interview, a resume. For many of those who have become unemployed over the past year, this is not always a skill set they remember or they've been at their current job for over a quarter century. It's not something they've ever had to do.</p> <p>On this episode of Careers in Cannabis recorded on 1/13/2021, Ashley Manning talked with the founder of the nonprofit Our Cannabis, Matthew Hoffman. Matt's company is helping to assist those who are ready to make the career change into cannabis by working either one-on-one, or in a virtual class on building their resume cover letters, mock interviews, salary negotiation (yes you can negotiate a salary in the cannabis industry), as well as giving career seekers insights from someone who's been working firsthand in the cannabis industry for quite some time. All for free.</p> <p>Our Cannabis Website: https://www.ourcannabis.org/</p> <p>On Careers in Cannabis, TRICHOMES.com talks with staffing agencies and cannabis companies to explore employment and career opportunities in the burgeoning cannabis industry.</p> <p>To reach the show: careersincannabis@trichomes.com</p>
