"It is rewarding and fulfilling to help individuals manage a search, then identify a position where they are well matched for a successful career. I enjoy walking through an individual's career with an eye on achievements, outcomes, and the factors contributing to those results because these are the building blocks of effective career management.  Helping an individual understand their most significant strengths, and the type of work that inspires them is very rewarding. I enjoy helping individuals refine their short and long-term career goals, then mentor individuals through a successful job search.  I take pride while drafting their resume, and LinkedIn career profile that accurately highlights their previous responsibility, experience, accomplishments and goals. We introduce job search strategies, and help individuals take ownership for their search and career management.  We help individuals with practice interviews and then teach them how to set and harvest benefits from informational interviews that often times reveal attractive career opportunities that are not public.  I have a lot of fun helping individuals achieve their full potential while living a better life!”
