Steven Rothberg is the Founder of College Recruiter job search site, which believes that every student and recent graduate deserves a great career...and that it should be easy and inexpensive for employers to hire them. Each year, more than 12 million students, recent graduates, and other early career candidates use College Recruiter to help them find part-time, seasonal, internship, and other early career job opportunities almost anywhere globally.
Steven founded the company out of which College Recruiter grew way back in 1991. He had just graduated from law school, passed the bar, and was working as a lawyer when he decided to get out of law to, as he says, enjoy his life. He invested almost all of his savings -- about $200 -- to buy business cards, letterhead, and a fax machine. He then convinced a number of departments at his alma matter, the University of Minnesota, to allow his little business to publish their official campus map for them. He gave the school the maps for free, they distributed them to students, and the company earned its revenues from the sale of advertising around the edges of the maps. That led to also publishing employment magazines called College Recruiter and that led to the first version of the company's website going live in 1996. By 2000, the company had shutdown the profitable maps and magazines to focus on the website.
Listen to this informative Sharkpreneur episode with Steven Rothberg about revolutionizing early career recruitment.
Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:
- How College Recruiter partners with affiliate sites, including college career services, scholarship sites, and other job boards.
- Why the average rate of applying to a job listing after viewing it is only 5%.
- How College Recruiter automatically distributes job postings to relevant partner sites based on job specifics.
- Why low-skill jobs see higher application rates than specialized roles.
- How AI has disrupted various industries, including job search and recruitment.

Terry Caney Sr.’s documentary, "Put the Guns Down: A World Epidemic," produced by Ice-T, delves into the relationship between mental health and gun violence, bringing together insights from a broad spectrum of individuals, including celebrities, city officials, and victims of violent crimes, to spark discussions on mental health services and gun control legislation.
Founder of Platinum City Golden West Entertainment, Carney has earned the prestigious award “Fathers in Hip Hop Fatherhood Acknowledgement Award” which celebrates his positive influence as a father figure within the hip-hop community, and the TAF Dignitary Award of Supreme Excellence in 2024, presented to dignitaries, educators, and support staff, highlighting significant contributions to the community.
Born in Denver, Colorado, Carney's early years were riddled with challenges as his parents found strength in adversity by creating a stable home life for him and his siblings. After the family relocated to outside Oklahoma City, where survival was key, the realities of drug-related crime were ever-present. This environment, coupled with the harsh reality of two of his brothers' incarceration for murder, shaped Carney's understanding of the complexities of life on the fringes of society. By age 15, the family once again relocated, this time to Los Angeles. This was a turning point.
Embracing his passion for storytelling, Carney authored his first book and his latest film project. Carney's experiences as a father and grandfather significantly shape his narrative style, reflecting themes of redemption, resilience, and the human spirit. His dedication to addressing gun violence was galvanized by the tragic loss of Nipsey Hussle, a friend and collaborator, driving Carney to advocate for change through his art.
His collaboration with Cornell Ward and affiliation with the office of Karen Bass, the esteemed Mayor of Los Angeles known for her dedication to social causes, underscore his dedication to amplifying diverse voices and addressing critical issues. A film screening tour is in the works which includes venues like the White House and the United Nations to facilitate dialogue and advocate for critical social issues on a global scale. Terry Christopher Carney Sr. 's story is one of triumph over adversity, and his dedication to inspire makes him a pivotal figure in contemporary storytelling and social advocacy.
Listen to this informative Sharkpreneur episode with Terry Carney Sr. about making “Put the Guns Down.”
Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:

- Why convincing real gang leaders and members to share their stories on camera was a challenge.
