Hi Guys!  I hope to engage in constructive dialogue and be of assistance to anyone needing career & job search advice.

A little about me....

Several years back I was working in the recruiting industry, recruiting for high end medical R&D scientists who were originating out of Europe and Asia.  On numerous occasions I would have these folks ask me about career advice on such topics as: 

* how do I find a job in my area of specialty in the San Diego area

* my current employer seems to not recognize my contributions- how can I become more visible to my employers

* my resume seems to be too long, can you take a look at it and give me some pointers to make it polished and have greater impact on the reader

* what steps should I take to change the direction of my career and focus on becoming a manager and step away from the technical side of my business….

When I had a co-worker approach me and offer to pay me for giving her advice on how to establish a more aggressive “career path” for herself I realized that I could be a resource for people looking to move forward in their respective careers.

A year later I was running a program that offered career services to people who were financially disadvantaged.  I was teaching these folks everything from resume preparation, interview techniques, and job search strategies to establishing a long term plan for career growth.  This program was such a success that the Governor of Hawaii visited our offices and congratulated our team for its success and positive impact on the individuals that had gone through our program.

Thanks!
