About Me

Hey there! I'm Darlene, and I look forward to speaking with you! I started my career in Recruiting by asking for special projects and injecting myself in areas I wanted to learn more of. As well as putting my educational, professional and personal experiences into play. Since then I've been able to connect with thousands of job seekers ready to change their careers. I can say I've reviewed twice as many resumes and conducted just as many interviews. I've learned the needs of Hiring Managers in their prospective areas, what they look for and ultimately who they want on their team. I've been fortunate to have worked for Brands I believe in and until this day I can say I truly love what I do and sharing it with every job seeker I come across. As a Recruiter, I've also been in your shoes and understand what you might be facing. I'd love to share my knowledge with you and talk through what would work for you! It is not easy trying to find the right fit. And maybe you are not sure if you are ready for that change but together we can discuss your unique situation and those obstacles/hesitations you might be facing. I am here to assist you and look forward to connecting! Here are some ways I can help you: • Job search techniques • Writing/updating resumes • Optimizing your LinkedIn profile to attract recruiters • Interview tips

Reviews

Darlene is very knowledgeable and insightful. She has a kind and professional demeanor, and provided an efficient and helpful session. I requested resume and LinkedIn optimization advice, as well as general job search advice, and Darlene helped me with exactly that. She used her experience and expertise to guide me in the right direction and gave me action items at the end of our session. I have completed some and will complete the rest this weekend and am excited to see where it leads. I highly recommend a session with Darlene!
