The collab we have all been waiting for 🙌

[@TechNSaved]

Seeing as how Trent was fired truly shows that this a performance-based role because I know he’s an expert at this. This role can be highly stressful, definitely a true eye opener.

[@peace9446]

He got fired for recording a call and posting it to YT without permission

[@TechNSaved]

@@peace9446 oh shoot, definitely didn’t know that

[@beanut.putter]

Wow, I never thought I'd see this collab.

[@Sandlersmessup]

Higher levels x Course careers ah man

[@videochemist]

Great content guys. I can see Trent also uploaded a new video from this discussion on his channel, which I'll check out next. I hope there's follow up videos documenting Trent's journey finding a new position, and i hope his future employer allows him to share insight into the role once in the role. I would be interested to learn what kind of response Trent receives from his video pitch idea. Building a video template to streamline the process of applying to multiple companies is an idea I've been toying with. I've just gained the right to work here in Switzerland (50 mins from Zurich), and these videos are invaluable in helping me in this career path I've chosen.

[@PeterPan-hs5tu]

this is such an genuine insight. Thank you both for sharing. I am looking forward to the course next month from Chris and Eric

[@peace9446]

Kind of odd this occurred considering everyone whom took Course Careers and then Higher Levels talks down or at least says CC wasn’t enough to get them a job. You’d think CC/Trent would revamp their course or not do an interview with their competition.

[@derangedgoose]

Where did you see this feedback? I'm considering these programs

[@peace9446]

@@derangedgoose Higher Levels interviews with people whom took both. It’ll be evident in the title or starting picture that they took CC and Higher Levels for most of the interviews that talk about CC.

[@peace9446]

Go HL. There’s more feedback and mentorship than CC from what I’ve assessed. I’ll be joining soon.

[@ParrisCrockett]

This was a 🔥 Collab ! Love yalls content and I hope we’re able to get another one of these soon !

[@zahrahajja9914]

Fire 🔥 Great Collaboration #Salute
Lets Goooooo!!!!

[@steezy2695]

I watch both of you daily, love this collab

[@PeterPan-hs5tu]

such an inspirational conversation, thank you

No G.E.D, customer service and employee mural background in construction 8+ years, if I were to take a course like yours or CC, and use these tactics, would it be impossible to get a job. GED or HSD required?

[@techsales-higherlevels]

Thanks for reaching out. I have worked with several folks that did not have a college degree and had several years of industry experience and were thus able to break in. I'm not sure if not having a high school diploma would hinder you but usually once you have several years of working experience they don't really check your education background.
It would definitely be possible. There are lots of construction tech companies and others that would value your industry experience. Whether you take a course or not you'll want to self educate on industry terms and build a network when you know enough to get applications as simply applying usually isn't enough (for anyone). Happy to help if you have follow up questions!

This is like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader talking to each other both are extremely good at what they do!!
