Miriam Cohen Salpeter’s Summary

I author several well-regarded career advice blogs, advise and coach clients in the U.S. and abroad regarding career transitions and job searches and speak to groups about job hunting and social networking strategies. I’ve been offering clients confidence, clarity and job-seeking know-how for over 12 years. My goal is to encourage, enlighten and empower job seekers for success by offering a toolbox of practical tips and support.

I am well known in the industry and sought by The Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com, ABCnews.com, Wisconsin Public Radio and other media outlets for comments on career search issues. Using Twitter for the job hunt is a particular favorite topic, and I am listed in a variety of “Best People to Follow on Twitter” lists for job seekers. You may also read my advice on the nationally known Examiner.com site, where I serve as the National Career Coach Examiner.
