Looking for a job can be challenging.

Work with a professional to give you the advantage.
"You only have one chance to leave a first impression."

Not getting enough traction on your resume? 

Not progressing past the phone screen?

Having trouble answering challenging job interview questions?

Haven't mastered the art of effective networking?

​​

Then you need to be coached by a professional who’s a seasoned recruiter. I work remotely/virtually from the San Francisco Bay Area of California in the United States and offer tailored, personalized service. I will work with you to create a strategy not only to land your next job but also to reach your career goals. 

​

I’m a recruiter and a coach - once we establish your desired role, I’ll teach you to market yourself on paper, on the phone or video conference, in-person, and via social media. I'll work with you to put your best foot forward, leave a positive impression, instill confidence, and arm you with the competitive advantage needed to improve your chances of receiving an offer.

​

I offer a free, 20-minute meeting to discuss how we may work together. Please contact me to schedule this complimentary consultation.

Some of the more recognizable companies I’ve recruited for: Google, Gap Inc.,  Macy’s, MUFG Union Bank, and Pacific Gas & Electric. I have also conducted tech recruiting for several start-ups and legal recruiting for two large, major law firms based out of the US.
