Recruiter | Tech | Aerospace — Building Teams that Solve Problems!

The opinions shared in my content and posts are for personal use and reflect my position only.

👋 Hi, and welcome to my page!

I’m an aerospace and technical recruiter, content creator, and passionate advocate for the job-seeking community. Every day, I connect people to opportunity because I believe people are the pillars that hold up any successful company.

Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of building a community of 70,000+ professionals. What started as a small effort to help a few job seekers has grown into daily content that supports and uplifts thousands around the world.

I’m especially passionate about partnering with brands and platforms that enhance the hiring experience and empower recruiters and job seekers to succeed. Reach out if you want eyeballs on your product or service—I love highlighting tools that make a difference.

A bit about me: I’m originally from the UK and now living in Florida with my wife and daughter, enjoying my slice of the American dream. I’ve traveled to 37 countries (and counting), and I plan to reach all four corners of the world. When I’m not recruiting or creating content, I’m likely enjoying great food, board games, or a good workout.

If you’re looking for a job in the aerospace industry, reach out. I’d love to help.

Thanks for visiting. Cheers!

You can still land that new job by the end of 2025.

Many will tell you that November & December is a "ghost town"

It is simply not true. Companies have production goals and deadlines closely tied to revenue and are hiring like crazy.

Don't give up. Don't hit pause and think "it will pick up in January"

Keep at it, apply, network and interview. 

Your December/January Job starts now

It’s Monday. The holiday is nearly here. 

It’s hard for many folks looking for work. 

Share a listening ear. 

Read a resume. 

Give a “relevant” referral.

Open a door. 

Lift a chin. 

Rest and recharge folks. 

You can get hired in December 💪

Received an Interview Invitation? That’s a Milestone Worth Recognizing.

If you’ve received an email inviting you to interview, congratulations. That’s not just a message in your inbox; it’s a recognition of your potential.

In a job market where rejection emails are far too common, moving forward in the process is no small feat. It means your application stood out. Your experience resonated. Your effort paid off.

Big week complete. 

Saw 9 people sign career changing offers.

There’s nothing like in-person hiring events.
Watching someone walk out with an offer in hand, it never gets old.

Just last week, I saw 9 people start new chapters in their careers. 
Moments like that are why I love what I do.

If you’re exploring new opportunities in aerospace, we’ve got more in-person events coming soon.

Let’s connect, I’d love to see you at the next one.

Happy Monday! Hope you have a great week!

I see a lot of frustration surrounding AI in the job search. 

So much noise and questions. 

Honestly, there is good and bad in all. 

Moderation is a great rule of thumb. 

Use AI in your job search 

Allow it to empower and elevate you 

Don’t allow it to replace YOU.
