I know what it's like to set up a business, give it your all, and have it struggle to stay afloat. I know how unsettling it can be to leave a career path, and feel cast adrift. I know the sense of pressure and isolation that many jobs involve. Making your way through the world of work can be challenging at times. In this book, I'll offer assistance for those situations and more. Maybe you're considering a switch to self-employment. Or you might be seeking a more fulfilling type of work.

Perhaps you are looking for your first job. My goal in writing this book is to support you in your own career journey. But I have worked on both sides of the employment table, and have seen things from the different perspectives. I never, for example, recruit a counseling client into a job I'm trying to fill. I have helped people explore career options, write resumes, start businesses, and deal with work-related stress, anxiety, and interpersonal conflicts. I have written job ads, cold-called candidates, negotiated salaries, and smoothed out bumps in order to close employment deals.Īt night, I run a private practice as a licensed counselor and psychotherapist, specializing in career counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy. Let me begin this book by introducing myself.įor the past twenty years I have worked as an executive and technical recruiter, helping companies to find employees.
