Often people make an appointment with me claiming they want to talk about their goals or career direction. What they are really looking for is a Job Search Check Up.

Unemployed or underemployed people who are sending out resumes are worried they are not doing the right things to get hired. These job seekers come to me for new ideas and support.

I’m happy to help, however, I’ve noticed that many people make the same job search mistakes, so I give the same tips over and over.

Everyone needs information to make sure job search methods will lead him or her to the right job quickly.
