Confessions of a Recruiter
It’s no secret that seeking employment can be full of twists and turns, leaving you anxious, stressed, frustrated, and sometimes discouraged. Whether you’re a college graduate, mid-career professional, transitioning into a new career, or retiring and looking for a part-time opportunity, having support can ease the burden.
​
That’s why I created “Confessions of a Recruiter.”
This fact-filled and entertaining presentation is designed for businesses, non-profits, schools, and charitable organizations that want to equip their members with valuable tips and techniques for finding their next employment opportunity.
​
After 20 years as a human resources professional specializing in corporate recruitment, I’ve truly seen it all—the highs, like helping a struggling graduate student land their first dream job (and get promoted within two years), and the lows, like watching a perfectly qualified candidate lose momentum in the interview process. These experiences have taught me invaluable lessons, which I share in “Confessions of a Recruiter.”
With candor, insight, and humor, this presentation sheds light on the mysteries of the job interviewing process and offers practical advice to help you succeed. There’s ample time for questions and answers, so we can dive deeper into the topics that matter most to you.
