The Optima Blue Community

In The Optima Blue Community, we focus on knowledge, sharing and everything else. We're a diverse collective of caring and smart professionals who are laser focused on getting as much out of LI as we put in, and most importantly - having fun doing it. Looking forward to my next trip to the Mothership very soon.  Networking is the key - LI can be a frustrating and lonely place - belonging to Optima Blue makes it substantially less so.

Marketing Team Member

Just launched a LinkedIn™ Lounge - where my fellow brand specialists and I discuss LI best practices and answer questions that our clients ask us.  Our goal at LHH is to enhance a candidate’s strengths, improve their job skills and focus on their personal brand through their resumes, Linkedin profiles and branding sessions.

As a Brand Specialist for LHH, I provide career coaching and support to job search candidates through resume revisions, sharing job search best practices and through facilitating branding sessions.
