I'm as objective and neutral as can be

Many years ago I was quite surprised when I realized most candidates actually create their own rejection and even discrimination. At first I had a hard time accepting and believing this, but it is true. It's always easier to blame others.

I myself am "guilty as charged" - That's why I put this program together. You can learn from my former mistakes AND my front row seat experiences working in the Staffing department and collaborating with key Hiring Authorities every day.

It's more likely a candidate screen themselves out and not the other way around.

Throughout Corporate America's hiring practices and process there are many dynamics. Illegal hiring practices and some conspiracies do occur. But they are actually quite rare and only occur in isolated pockets here and there. It's not the norm.

I teach how to avoid screening yourself out.
