I have 20+ years of experience helping jobseekers land interviews, offers, and raises. Most career advice comes from the outside. Mine comes from inside the hiring process.

About me

​

​I’ve spent over 20 years inside hiring. I recruit. I’ve worked directly with hiring managers. I see how resumes are actually evaluated, how quickly decisions get made, and why candidates get filtered out. I’ve seen strong, qualified people get passed over for reasons that have nothing to do with their ability to do the job.

​

And this isn’t something I see occasionally. This is my day-to-day. I work with people who are unemployed, underemployed, or stuck trying to figure out why nothing is landing. I hear the same patterns over and over again, and I see exactly where things break down.

​

I also see what it does to people. The financial stress is real. The mental toll is real. It affects confidence, relationships, and how people show up in every part of their life.

​

I’m a father. I’m a husband. I know careers don’t exist in a vacuum. When something isn’t working here, it doesn’t stay contained.

​

I’ve been unemployed. I’ve been underemployed. I know what it feels like when a job search drags on longer than it should, when you’re doing the work and not seeing anything come back, and when it starts affecting more than just your career.

​

That’s why I do this work. I understand what it feels like to be in it, and I understand how it actually works behind the scenes. My job is to help people connect those two things so they can move forward with clarity and get results that reflect the experience they already have.

​

You may have seen my posts, memes, or commentary on hiring across social media. That content comes directly from what I see every day, both from candidates and inside the hiring process. A lot of it reflects how frustrating, inconsistent, and at times absurd this process can be. It’s also there to make one thing clear: you’re not the only one dealing with it. 

 

I also understand how the system is set up and what you’re up against. Hiring isn’t neutral. It’s fast, inconsistent, and often designed in a way that filters people out before they’re fully understood. Decisions get made quickly, context gets missed, and strong candidates get overlooked all the time. When you’re in it, it can feel like you’re doing everything right and still not getting anywhere. There are real constraints, real bias, and real inefficiencies built into how this works.
