About Me:: I have a workshop called Tough Questions? Great Answers! The workshop has been done with individuals and groups, teaching people how to effectively prepare for an interview. That workshop, and my desire to share the “secrets” to successfully navigating the interview process is what led me to writing my blog, Interview Chatter.
I am an effective coach and facilitator who has had the opportunity to help many, many, many people get the jobs they were looking for. My recommendations are not a silver bullet, nor a guarantee, but if you apply the principles I share, you will be successful!

Shameless Marketing

Shameless Marketing was a term I learned many years ago in San Francisco, California when I attended a marketing workshop for professional speakers called The Odd Couple with Steve Weiss and Patricia Fripp. The entire workshop Patricia Fripp talked about herself.

And then it hit me, she was demonstrating what she was tea… Continue
