For over a decade, I have recruited professionals in banking and finance, information technology and the medical professions through more than 3,000 face-to-face interviews. This experience has provided the proper framework in which to share information with you and other job seekers wishing to increase their interview success and enhance their credibility in the marketplace.

Getting the job is a major hurdle. But a successful job search also includes compensation to match your market value. I have pulled together practical resources to help you more easily talk about your value in the marketplace.

Along the way, I have coached hiring managers on architecting and implementing a comprehensive candidate selection process. The building blocks of a successful campaign include performance/behavior-based job descriptions, position-specific competency models, behavioral interview scripts and a matching scoring guide. When used in conjunction with a formal on-boarding program, companies have been able to hire top-notch employees in a more focused and engaging manner.

Since 2002, I have been asked to speak to job transition groups, professional groups and Fortune 500 companies. Topics have covered diverse subjects including: Interviewing Strategies, Behavioral Interviewing, Core Competencies, Competency Models, Performance-Based Job Descriptions, Salary Negotiations, and Emotional Intelligence.

Another avenue of sharing job transition advice has been through three-minute commentaries aired on public radio KERA 90.1 in Dallas.

My professional experience is complemented with an undergraduate degree from The University of Texas (Dallas) and an MBA from Texas A&M (Commerce). Formal training was followed with a certification in the popular Bar-on EQ-i® (Emotional Intelligence) assessment.
