Ashley Tschudin reposted thisAshley Tschudin reposted thisPlease help me find a job - I’ve been unemployed for almost 3 years now. Applying to postings isn’t working and I’m not breaking this job market. Long-time recruiters I know say they have never seen a job market this bad in 30 years, including in the worst recessions. In my case I’ve spent through my savings, got evicted and am living in my car. After posting this for months, I still don’t have a job. Many people have said encouraging things and I have raised some money to survive in the near future (thanks to those people). Here’s the rest of my situation. I was laid off from my job at Google almost 3 years ago (Sept 2023) when there were a lot of layoffs. I keep ATS confirmation emails from job applications in a folder and at two years since the layoff, I had applied to 3700 jobs and emailed 2200 founders. I won’t do a new count. Bottom line, I'm getting nowhere. I need a regular job (or monthly contract). It probably has to be a REFERRAL from you because of the hiring environment today. Also, FYI, my present job is just the very rare short term contract. Very rare. The last gig they had me do was a year ago. If you aren’t aware of it, the economy is in really bad shape. Inflation is high, foreclosures and evictions are way up and a lot of jobs are being sent overseas. My background spans high-growth startups and tech giants, with a proven track record of placing specialized talent. I've placed people with all sorts of backgrounds including engineers, finance execs, marketing, artists and others. At Google I focused on security engineers from the FBI, CIA, etc. PLEASE mention me to your friends or hire me. Please. (I will post this daily)

Ashley Tschudin reposted thisAshley Tschudin reposted thisMy wife is dying and I need a job. There, I said it. I have 4 kids and a terminally ill wife who's been diagnosed with early onset frontotemporal dementia. I am NOT looking for a handout, but I am looking for a job. It has to be remote as I am the sole caretaker for her, but I can still call as many times a day as you need. It has been a very hard road. It seems as if I am over-qualified for everything, or so I've been told. I WILL TAKE ANYTHING IN SALES OR RECRUITING - just give me a simple salary and a chance at commissions. Outside of sales or recruiting, I am open to nearly anything as well as long as I can perform the duties. Please, somebody read this and reach out. My number is (864) 614-3426. I have been playing the game for several months now. So... here I am with no ego, basically begging on LinkedIn. I've got 253 job applications out there... can anyone please give me an interview?

Ashley Tschudin reposted thisAshley Tschudin reposted thisI’m on the brink of homelessness. I have 15 years of game audio experience, have worked on massive AAA titles, won awards for my work, and have been aggressively searching for employment for months. If any of you good folks have any sound design needs, or have any leads, please consider contacting me. The state of our industry suggests to me that these types of posts from people may become more common. I certainly hope that is not the case, but it has been a rough few years. Good luck out there, good people.

Ashley Tschudin reposted thisAshley Tschudin reposted thisBehind every fundraising page is a story. Some participants rode in honor of someone they love. Others rode because mental health has shaped their own lives, while many simply wanted to help create a future where more people can access the care they need. Those personal stories are what make peer-to-peer fundraising so powerful—they transform a donation into a connection. Although Ride weekend is complete, fundraising continues through July 31. If someone in your network participated this year, take a few minutes to read their story and consider supporting their efforts. Every donation helps advance McLean Hospital's work in mental health research, treatment, education, and patient care while recognizing the commitment each participant made to this important cause.

Ashley Tschudin reposted thisAshley Tschudin reposted thisOne of the most rewarding things we've witnessed over the past decade is how often participants introduce others to the Ride for Mental Health. What begins as a single registration often turns into coworkers, friends, family members, and riding partners sharing an experience that becomes an annual tradition. To encourage those connections, we've updated our referral program. Riders who share their BikeReg referral code can now receive a $50 refund when one new participant registers using their code, while the new rider receives $40 off registration. For past participants who have not yet registered, the opportunity is even greater. By combining the PR2026 discount code with a successful referral, participants can save a total of $90 on registration while helping grow a community dedicated to supporting mental health. Sometimes the most meaningful invitation is simply asking someone to join you. REGISTER: https://bit.ly/Ride2026

Ashley Tschudin shared thisLooking for something impactful to do this month? Join us at The Ride for Mental Health to #RideAwaytheStigma at the end of June ⬇️Ashley Tschudin shared thisAs we prepare for the 10th annual Ride for Mental Health, I've been thinking about how this community has grown over the past decade. The truth is that most people don't discover The Ride through an advertisement. They discover it because someone they know invites them. A friend shares the event with a riding partner. A coworker puts together a company team. A family member encourages someone to take on a challenge they never thought possible. That's how this community has reached thousands of riders and raised more than $1.8 million in support of mental health programs at McLean Hospital and local youth mental health initiatives in the Hudson Valley. If you've been considering inviting someone to join you this year, I'd encourage you to reach out. Some of the strongest friendships, best conversations, and most meaningful memories from the Ride begin with a simple invitation. And as an added incentive, if two people register using your referral code, you'll receive a $75 refund on your registration, and they'll each save $40 on theirs. My referral code is: JAJHL3SA Ten years ago, this Ride began with a small group of people who believed movement and community could make a difference. A decade later, we're still growing one invitation at a time. REGISTER: https://bit.ly/Ride2026

Ashley Tschudin shared thisProud to share this as we build toward the 10th annual The Ride for Mental Health. This cause means a lot to me, not just as someone who supports the mission, but as someone who believes deeply in the importance of mental health advocacy that is visible, consistent, and action-driven. The Ride is a powerful reminder that community support can take many forms, and volunteering is one of the most direct ways to show up and make a real impact. If you or your company are looking for a meaningful way to support mental health in 2026, I encourage you to consider volunteering. It’s hands-on, community-based, and a tangible way to help create a weekend that thousands of people rely on for connection, support, and progress. Grateful to be part of a movement that continues to grow year after year.Ashley Tschudin shared thisAs we prepare for the 10th annual Ride for Mental Health, we’re inviting companies and professional teams to volunteer with us and support a mission that continues to drive real impact in mental health. Volunteer support is essential to delivering a safe, organized, and fully supported Ride weekend. From rider check-in and rest stops to route support and finish line operations, volunteers help create the experience that riders count on and remember. For organizations, volunteering is a meaningful way to activate corporate social responsibility in a hands-on, people-first way. It builds connection across teams, creates shared purpose beyond the workplace, and gives employees an opportunity to support mental health through visible, community-based action. If your company is looking for a high-impact volunteer opportunity in 2026, we’d love to connect. Volunteer sign-ups are open now: https://bit.ly/4q3HZjk

Ashley Tschudin reposted thisAshley Tschudin reposted thisBuilding an official Ride team through your company does more than support a great cause. It creates a shared goal that strengthens connection, engagement, and collaboration across teams. When colleagues train, fundraise, and ride together, the experience extends well beyond Ride weekend. It encourages conversations around mental health, supports wellbeing through movement, and offers employees a meaningful way to connect outside of their day-to-day roles. Corporate Ride teams also make participation more accessible. Fundraising becomes a collective effort rather than an individual burden, allowing employees to contribute in ways that fit their schedules and strengths. Some ride. Some fundraise. Some support behind the scenes. Every role matters. Starting a team does not require a large group or complex structure. It often begins with one person raising their hand, inviting coworkers, and giving the team time to grow naturally. The earlier a team forms, the more opportunity there is to plan, train, and build momentum together. For organizations looking to invest in wellbeing, connection, and purpose, forming a Ride team is a simple and impactful place to start. Form a team → https://bit.ly/Ride2026

Ashley Tschudin reposted thisAshley Tschudin reposted thisWe are honored to share that The Ride for Mental Health has made a $5,000 donation to The Maya Gold Foundation , presented by Founder Mac Dorris. The Foundation’s mission is to empower youth to access their inner wisdom and realize their dreams.

Their work aligns deeply with our values. By uplifting youth and strengthening resilience, the Foundation fosters healthier communities and expands mental health support where it is urgently needed. We are proud to contribute to their continued impact and grateful to our riders, sponsors, volunteers, and fundraisers for making this donation possible.

I would say I have a healthy 50/50 split between my computer and phone. If it's LinkedIn auto-apply I handle on my phone but if it requires more in-depth info like essay questions, I opt for the computer.

Applying to Weedmaps annually for the last few years has basically become my favorite tradition. 🌿 With 16 years of digital marketing experience under my belt, I’m starting to wonder if my resumes are getting lost in a digital abyss or if the ATS is just playing hide-and-seek! How does one bypass the algorithm to get on your team's radar? Asking for a friend (who is me).

Ashley Tschudin liked thisAshley Tschudin liked thisI've been on the hunt for a marketing job for a few months, and I want to confirm something you've probably already figured out: The job market is brutal right now. I'm spending 40+ hours a week applying for, interviewing for, and completing assignments for jobs. It's literally a full-time job in and of itself. That's not the surprising part. The surprising part is the metrics that I'm keeping track of. Out of all the literal hundreds of jobs I've applied for, fewer than half have responded at all beyond an automated "we got your application" email from their ATS. Just crickets from 52% of prospective employers. Of the companies where I've interviewed - sometimes completing multiple rounds - and/or completed an assignment, only one let me know I didn't make the cut. The others? Full radio silence. I get it. I get that AI and services like Ladders are making it so that every position has hundreds of applicants. I get that HR is swamped. But there has to be a better way of handling this than just perpetual ghosting. I don't pretend to know what the solution is, but this kind of cruelty ain't it.

Ashley Tschudin liked thisAshley Tschudin liked thisWhat makes The Ride for Mental Health different? The answer goes beyond cycling. For ten years, The Ride has brought together individuals, families, advocates, healthcare professionals, and corporate teams around a shared commitment to supporting mental health. While participants arrive for many different reasons, they leave having contributed to something larger than themselves. The weekend combines fundraising, community, and physical activity in support of programs at McLean Hospital focused on serious mental illness, along with local youth mental health programming in the Hudson Valley. Along the way, participants build relationships, share experiences, and connect with others who are equally committed to making a difference. As conversations around mental health continue to grow, the Ride offers an opportunity to pair awareness with action. That combination of purpose, community, and participation is what has sustained the event for a decade and continues to bring new riders into the community each year. We look forward to welcoming participants to the 10th annual Ride for Mental Health this June: https://bit.ly/Ride2026

The latest headlines about TikTok’s ownership shift in the U.S. and the subsequent reports of account suppression are a wake-up call for every creator, entrepreneur, and business leader. If you are relying solely on an algorithm to reach your community, you are a "waiter" - waiting for a platform to give you permission to be heard. In strategic communications, we know that your reputation is your currency, and you cannot protect that currency if someone else owns the vault. Consider the scale of what is at stake... Goldman Sachs estimates the creator economy could reach $480 billion by 2027. These are individuals building massive businesses just by sharing their expertise, but those businesses are only as secure as their access to their audience. Whether it’s shifting political landscapes or new corporate policies, the truth is non-negotiable: If you don’t own the relationship with your audience, you don’t own your future. Self-reliance means taking your destiny into your own hands before the next crisis hits. Here is how you take the power back and move from being a "waiter" to a "creator": -Build Your Own Assets: Don't just build a following; build a mailing list. Own your data and your narrative so you aren't vulnerable to "shadow-banning" or throttling. -Invest in Direct Relationships: Value culture is about intentionality. Move your audience from a fleeting "like" to a direct connection where you provide consistent, meaningful value. -Bet on Yourself: Stop giving your best work to apps that exploit your attention. Put that time and effort into platforms and systems where you have creative dignity and self-respect. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Nobody is going to put you at the top of their priority list. You must do that for yourself. Platforms shouldn't own people. People should own their influence.
