Assistant Director, Career Services, Santa Clara University
Program Manager, Career Action Center
What the chronology above doesn't indicate is that I am absolutely dedicated to my client's success and passionate about what I do (see my Linkedin recommendations)
I am forthright with my advice with a highly perceptive, out-of-the-box approach. I bring to the table a lifetime of career coaching expertise and recruiting experience from both sides of the desk for my clients. I guide high value talent to the right opportunities. I help my client organizations engage and grow the right talent.
In addition, I deliver webinars and seminars to top MBA schools' alumni and executive students worldwide on career management, social networking and job search.
My organizational and individual clients both say that working with me continues to have a significant impact on their business and career success.
In 2001, I founded and continue to moderate the WednesdayJobGroup (http://www.wednesdaynetwork.com) a free 1800+ networking e-group exclusively for technology professionals. Based in Silicon Valley, the members are global.
My online newsletter, the Careerzine, reaches 5000+ professionals monthly, providing insights and observations on business, economic and employment trends. Click on the link at the top to join.
I have been frequently quoted or interviewed by PBS Radio, NPR's Marketplace, ABC, NBC, and CBS local affiliates, Monster.com, the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Jose Mercury News, CBS Early Show and USA Today.
And, Po Bronson called me the "guru of Silicon Valley career counselors" in his New York Times best seller, "What Should I do with My Life?"
