At JobSeekers, we provide:

I've dedicated most of my adult life to helping people achieve their goals. While I was still in high school, I coached a little league hockey team. In college, I was a youth advisor at church. As a sales manager in my 20’s, I hired and trained salespeople who were twice my age. As a career strategist, I help people shorten their search, earn more money, and get better results. My background includes:
	
☑ Thirty years in the career management business – as a staff member at one of the world’s three largest career management firms, as a volunteer, and as the owner of Atlanta's most effective career management firm. I've helped thousands of people in transition to achieve their goals.

☑ Seven years at a leading career management firm – as a client, workshop trainer, individual career consultant, project manager, and national account manager. My top five clients were Delta Air Lines, Alcon, UPS, First Data, and Kimberly-Clark.

☑ Three years as a Senior Training Consultant for Richardson – a leading sales training and consulting company. My top five clients were Dell, Bank of America, GlaxoSmithKline, Sears, and KPMG Consulting. I apply consultative selling strategies as I work with clients.

☑ Twenty-four years as Executive Director of JobSeekers of Peachtree City – a nondenominational ministry for professionals who are making a career transition. We meet in-person at The Bridge Community Center in Peachtree City. We also broadcast on Zoom.

☑ Twenty-four years as President of O’Farrell Career Management – providing executive recruiting, outplacement consulting, performance coaching, and individual career management services (resume writing, marketing strategies, interview training).
