YOUR CAREER MATTERS | Find the Right Fit

YOUR CAREER FIT MATTERS!

I am committed to helping you find that right job fit…

whether you are clear or not about your “next step” job/career goals, whether you bring extensive or limited work experience and whatever the strengths and specific challenges that you bring to finding a more satisfying position or getting into/returning to the workplace.

Experience & Qualifications

How I Can Support Your Efforts

In my thirty years in workforce development, I’ve learned a lot! Probably of most importance: All of us – no matter what our education level, skills or life experience – have strengths and talents and challenges/limitations and our strengths, talents and limitations match certain jobs better than others.

It’s not rocket science! But whether we’re a job seeker, an employed individual or a front-line supervisor, our beliefs can keep us from seeing our own (as well as an employee’s) ability to contribute.

TESTIMONIALS

Thank you very much Marsha for the guidance for the enclosed cover letter. I also want to thank you for the encouragement you gave me yesterday. Sitting behind the computer screen typing out emails and reading rejection letters, even polite ones, is damaging to the self-confidence. I left you feeling much better about myself than I did going in. That’s a real gift you have.
