  Easy Peasy Podcasting for Resume Writers: Getting Started Without Breaking the Bank or Your Schedule

  
  

  Presented by: Gillian Whitney

  July 25, 2025 | 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. ET

  Are you a resume writer curious about podcasting but feeling overwhelmed by the technical aspects and time commitment? Many career professionals want to explore podcasting as a marketing tool, but don't know where to start or worry about the complexity and costs involved. If you want to understand the practical realities of podcasting, this session will demystify the process. You'll learn about choosing the right format and equipment, managing guests, and repurposing content. This guidance comes from real-world insights from someone who has successfully hosted two podcasts with over 200 episodes combined, distributed across all major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, and iHeart Radio. Learn the systems and strategies that can help you decide if podcasting is right for your business and how to approach it strategically.

  In this webinar you will learn how to:

  • Evaluate audio versus video podcasting formats and weigh the pros and cons of live versus recorded episodes to choose the approach that fits your goals and comfort level.
  • Select affordable, user-friendly equipment and tools while implementing systems to keep yourself and guests organized.
  • Develop strategies for promoting and repurposing podcast content to build brand awareness and leverage both you and your guests' networks.
