Presentation: The job market of the future will look nothing like the job market of the past several decades. Gone will be the traditional nine-to-five work hours, commuting five days a week to an office building and a reliance on old school tools to communicate and collaborate. The new job market will feature more remote job opportunities than ever before. Work from anywhere (WFA) and a four-day work week will become a more common part of the workplace lexicon. The new workday may be longer than the standard eight-hour shift, but individuals will have greater freedom to manage their work on a schedule that is most conducive for them. Additionally, technology in the workplace and collaborating with multiple generations will become more prominent.
About the Speakers:
Frank Kovacs has been a technology business executive for more than 30 years leading and directing large, complex, global operations and transformations for some of the largest Fortune 100 firms as well as NASA.
Frank has been recognized as recipient of the Gartner CIO Choice Award, Visionary Award from Business Finance Magazine & Internet World, and the Ovation Award at Comnet. Frank was named a visionary for his 12 years of work at AT&T Bell Labs and has a patent for Smart Card Technology.
Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Frank wanted to help those who lost their jobs due to the tragedy and formed a group, The Breakfast Club NJ (TBCNJ). More than 18 years later, TBCNJ has grown to more than 6,000 members and is the premier job search and career networking group in the New York/New Jersey region. As TBCNJ extensively leverages social media, many of the job posts and career transition advice routinely go viral and TBCNJ has helped more than 9,000 individuals secure jobs all with a “pay-it-forward” volunteer approach.
Frank is very proud to capture many of the learnings from 18 years of TBCNJ and share them through this book in hopes that even more people will be helped with their respective job search as we all work through the challenges of today’s digital disruption and reskilling.

Today, he collaborates with Gen Z as a full-time professor of practice, communication in the Rutgers University School of Communication and Information. Mark’s ongoing primary research of Gen Z has led to keynote speeches to the American Marketing Association, Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). It was Mark’s Rutgers students who inspired him to author his first book in 2017, 101 Lessons They Never Taught You In College, which provides tips to college students preparing for their transition to a career. Media and readers nationwide responded so positively to the book that Mark authored 101 Lessons They Never Taught You In High School About Going To College which was published in 2018.Mark’s book, Decoding Gen Z: 101 Lessons Generation Z Will Teach Corporate America, Marketers & Media, was published in 2018 and captured the attention of media, marketers and employers nationwide as Gen Zers were starting to become a focus of corporations and brands. In 2020, Mark co-authored Engaging Gen Z with Harvard University student Michael Pankowski. In 2022, Mark authored Gen Z Graduates To Adulthood. Mark’s latest book, ZEO, was published in 2023 as more Gen Zers transitioned from college to their career. The Gen Z books have led to invitations from conferences, corporations, brands, agencies, universities, industry associations and pro sports leagues and teams for Mark to deliver keynote speeches featuring his Gen Z research and insights. Mark co-authored Career In Transition with Frank Kovacs and is currently collaborating with Frank on their next book scheduled for publication in spring 2024 titled, Win The Job & Thrive In A Multigenerational Workplace.
