What do you like about this subject?

I love empowering job hunters to take control of their job search by doing the hard work required to outshine their competition.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

My goal is to help as many job hunters as I can to achieve their career goals. It is my desire to continually build on my knowledge and experience by learning from other experts, recruiters, HR professionals, and job hunters. I will continue to pass this information on to savvy jobseekers.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

A lot of things are beyond your control - the economy, the job market, your industry. Yet, there are a lot of elements which are completely within your control. I teach job hunters to recognize those elements and maximize their opportunities for success.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Don't play the victim - even if you are one. Take the time to mourn your job loss. Then dust yourself off, put on your game face, prepare a game plan, and get ready for battle. Finding a job in this economy is tough, but not impossible.
