Top Retail & Wholesale Recruitment Consultant, Career Coach & Personal Branding Professional (brad@myretailcareer.net)
Greater New York City Area
I have 10 years of recruitment and sales management experience and my background includes merchandising at both the department store and discount level as well. Three years ago I started MyRetailCareer.net to assist retail and wholesale executives build their personal brands, learn to network and advance their careers.
MyRetailCareer.net provides unique professional career services for the retail executive. My goal is to become the “go to” destination for retail executives who need advice, assistance, counseling or reassurance with their career. I specialize in teaching you how to build a network. Sure, I do resumes, cover letters, interview preparation and de-briefings as well but I always tell my clients, be proactive, take charge of your life and your career, or someone else will do it for you. In today’s tough competition for talent, everyone needs some guidance and it’s critically important to have that network in place before the pink slip arrives.
Harvey Mackay, a top selling author and motivational business speaker once wrote a book, “Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty.” It was a NYT best seller in 12 days and remained on the list for 5 months.
I also consult for small and medium sized companies. I'm here to discuss your needs and recommend the best recruitment solutions to source, attract and retain top players for your organization. My experiences include recruitment advertising, search strategy, candidate identification, salary negotiations, relocations and on-boarding. I have a strong background in employment branding as well as knowledge of affordable implementation of applicant tracking systems.
I am always open to network so feel free to reach out to me.
