Why I Serve Careerists & Job Seekers:
Having spent 8 years recruiting for global US corporations, I’ve learned the importance of having a well-structured resume & being able to interview in a way that makes you stand out from other candidates. Most people could get many more interviews and more job offers if they’ve only learned some tips and strategies I’ve learned in my recruitment role. I love passing on my knowledge to others and helping them get the jobs and salaries they desire.
Additionally, as a Sr. Recruiter, I’ve worked closely with HR departments and senior management, and was often privy to confidential discussions about why people get promoted and why they do not. I've discovered that working hard and having the right skills are not enough to get that promotion or job you're looking for. I've seen too many smart, hard working professionals be unhappy with their careers because they don't know how to promote themselves. Helping professionals discover and communicate their unique value, and engage in effective self-promotion are the keys to getting ahead and the driving force behind what I do.
