I worked in workforce development as a career coach and recruiter, both at the same time, helping hundreds of job seekers land amazing jobs at a variety of career levels. I also worked with job seekers with disabilities and partnered with 100+ companies in their search for top talent, all before starting my online business. My goal during that time was to help my clients overcome the idea that disabled people are not capable of working successfully.
One of the most important things I did was to focus on what my clients could do, and not what they couldn’t. This includes emphasizing their skills and abilities they brought to the position, as any other inspiring candidate does.
Providing career support to someone who needs it the most and helping them become more independent and confident in their job search abilities, has helped me have a profound impact on someone else’s life, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. I pride myself on always learning and growing to get the best possible outcome for my clients.
No matter your situation and no matter the hurdles you’re facing, finding a good job shouldn’t be so hard, especially in today’s world. Your job plays a crucial role in your personal life and happiness, so you owe it to yourself to find work that’s enjoyable and inspiring.
I’ve also spoken at various panels, workshops, and hiring events about the intersection of work, life, and happiness.
