Todd Rhoad, MSEE, MBA’s Summary

BT Consulting is a company dedicated to building more successful careers. This is accomplished by meeting the needs of the customer and taking the lead on all activities such as document creation (e.g. resume, cover letter), job search (we do it for you), company research (we tell you what you need to know), interview prep, offer negotiation and building a career strategy for enhanced mobility once you're in.

This service was created through research and development of the right methods. We call it the Blitz Approach.

Here's what BRIAN TRACY had to say about his Blitz Approach to career mobility:

“....you can save yourself months and even years in moving upward and onward in your job and your career.”

Todd's specialities include, but not limited to:
• Job Search • Resumes
• Team Building • Business Research
• Recruitment & Retention • Career Strategy
• Career Coach • Negotiation
