My Wife, The Job Whisperer
This is a plug for my wife, The Job Whisperer, Cathy Martin. She gives non-legal advice on how to get a job, how to write a resume, how to interview for a job, and how to stay sane through the process. The Job Whisperer is a coach for anyone who wants to quit a job, find a new job, find a better job, do better in their job, or just talk about their job.
For most of her career, The Job Whisperer has worked for corporations. She started in personnel and worked her way up to VP of a multimillion dollar corporation with over a thousand employees. She oversaw a recruiting department hiring hundreds of employees a year and outside recruiting firms hiring corporate executives. She has coached presidents of corporations, and managed HR departments. She has insight into what employers want and don’t want in employees. She has seen the tricks and trevails of all kinds of job applicants and knows what to do and what not to do.
Check out her blog at www.thejobwhisperer.com where she gives free tips and free advice on jobs, resumes, and interviews. You’ll be surprised to find that things you thought were good ideas really aren’t. And you’ll find many practical ideas that never occurred to you. You might even want to hire her to help you figure something out or give specific tips for you.
So, if you’re looking for a new job or a better job or a change in job, you can’t do better than ask The Job Whisperer, my wife. (Just don’t ask her for legal advice. She’s not a lawyer. She’s an MBA.)
