Job training programs believe in the value of interview prep. But each organization is busy, working to help many people improve their job readiness at the same time. Job interview prep, very time-consuming to do well, is often underinvested in. The lowest-paying jobs may not have challenging interviews, but to get jobs with career growth and good pay, you need to interview well. That's where Talk Hiring comes in.

Before working on Talk Hiring, he was a software engineer. He felt increasingly guilty as much of his industry was writing code to automate the jobs of others.

In February 2018, he started volunteering with a workforce development nonprofit in Brooklyn. he loved helping low-income New Yorkers with their resumes, cover letters, job applications, and of course, interview skills. he had never done this work before but he was hooked and continued volunteering weekly.
