Welcome to H.I.R.E.D, where Trevor and Paul explore the job market, recruiting, job seeking and other related topics of interest.

In this episode H.I.R.E.D joins Tomas Jajesnica as he continues his "happiness" data collection experiment. In a first for H.I.R.E.D we talk to Tomas a he drives an Uber. The conversation continues as Tomas collects a paying passenger and we sit in on the conversation with Rob (Rob, if you ever hear this episode, Trevor and I thank you for being so open and gracious).

Tomas, a.k.a @MrMeditate, talks about happiness, relaxation, destressing and finding happiness in being present, being "in the moment".

If you're a job seeker Tomas provides some solid advice about how you can change your view from negativity to positivity and why you should. Job seeking is hard, but, Tomas helps shine a light on a path that just might help make the journey less stressful.

As 2025 comes to a close, this podcast, unexpectedly, became our last for the year.

We'll be back in 2026 with more topics, stories and guest.

Until then, be kind to your self. Have a merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year.

Come and join us at H.I.R.E.D.

Finally, it's here. We've been through recording issues, illnesses and finally, on attempt 3, just when we thought we had "crossed the line", post production issues.

In this podcast Trevor and Paul are joined by guest Kym Vassiliou (co-founder of EquallyU). Kym has extensive experience in disability employment, helping people with disabilities find work through coaching and support.

Kym brings intriguing and engaging stories coupled with real life insights from her work and personal experiences.
