Since the day I stared my first job as a Personnel Consultant on Wall Street until today I have been passionate about becoming one of the best practitioners in the business and helping people find the job they are qualified for at the salary they desire with the least amount of hassle and stress and frustration.
Having been a recruiter and running a successful search firm through several boom markets and deep recessions I have learned the importance of career planning, coaching and a powerful, well-structured resume in job search and I love passing this information on to others. Over the past few years I have also discovered the importance of social media and how to use it effectively in a job search
Job search today is a new experience for many, from the twenty-something 2013 grads looking to land their first full time job, to the mid-career professional whose job was outsourced a few months ago, to the VP level professional who just got caught in a corporate downsizing and was given a severance package replete with [...]
