With 100M+ views, a background in hiring and talent strategy, and experience on both sides of the job search, I deliver no-fluff insights that help people navigate hiring smarter, use AI without fear, and build careers that do not make them miserable.
Most career talks feel like someone Googled "job search tips" and turned them into a PowerPoint. That is not what I do.
I give real, honest, and engaging talks, workshops, and trainings that leave audiences with actual strategies they can use today. Whether they are job seekers trying to stand out, companies rethinking their hiring process, or students preparing for the real world, I break down what actually works—without the corporate jargon.

“As a career advisor, Mike was able to expand on topics that I present on and talk about during advising appointments. His transparent information not only gave me a more realistic look at what recruiters consider, but as well how to properly inform students on how they should prepare their application materials using AI responsibly. ...his content makes him a great resource for someone who may be feeling uncertain in their career journey."
- Julio Rodriguez, USC Career Advisor
This event was a great reminder that AI isn’t just a challenge; it’s an opportunity to build better hiring processes that balance efficiency, ethics, and inclusivity. A huge thank you to ... Mike Peditto for an insightful session!
Jose Carlos Vargas, PHR
"Enjoyed the interaction aspect that Mike brought to the workshop as he was opened to different questions throughout the event making it feel like everyone in the zoom meeting was involved in the conversation. It's frustrating at times when presenters just run through a presentation and don’t really engage with the audience. Thank you Mike!"
