The Fear of Confidence

"Have you ever heard of anyone writing an entire book in just under 6 hours, me either? At least not until today 10-21-2020. 

When you have nothing to do on a 6-hour flight home from Orlando to Seattle, along with no wi-fi and the emotions and feelings that are still so very real from that "traumatic" experience from less than 24 hours ago, I guess you do in fact write a book.

Each and every time we get knocked down is an opportunity to learn and grow and this is what I hope you learn from reading my story. 

Our failures do not define us...but what we do when we fail allows us to flourish."

Guest Speaker | Break Out Speaker

This space… "YOUR HEADLINE" is the place to attract Recruiters/Hiring Managers | 500+ LinkedIn Client Recommendations | 👉 Jobseekers get better jobs quicker by working with me | Macro Influencer | Outplacement Services

I have helped 321 middle management & C-suite professionals land new careers over the past 8 months. 

Removing the frustration that jobseekers have while applying for job after job, and only getting those darn rejection emails, is what makes setting that alarm for 5am (or sometimes 4am) all worth it.  

I have also been there and done that over and over...

-	I've been that frustrated jobseeker 
-	doing all the wrong things
-	applying for hundreds and hundreds of jobs 
-	getting Ghosted for months and months 


Until I learned… 

-	what to do... but more importantly what not to do
-	how to properly network on LinkedIn 
-	it’s all about applying for targeted jobs 
-      you must have a resume that gets past the ATS 
-	how to get noticed and land that new career 

My previous experience as a Hiring Manager - Grass Roots Recruiter – and Decades of Interviewing have allowed me to craft resumes that tell “your story”.

Let’s face it… searching for a new career should not be stressful but it can and will be without the right tools. And those tools better be sharp…

So, what are those tools???

1)	Resume 
2)	LinkedIn 
3)	Networking 

I will provide you those tools and teach you how to keep them sharp for your entire working career. 

Allowing you to go from rejected to recruited.

Identifying what my clients' strengths are while probing my clients for what they really enjoy doing allows me to craft “their story” and I know how-to best position jobseekers by leveraging LinkedIn and getting you noticed by recruiters. 

And jobseekers get better jobs quicker... by working with me.
