Career Benders is a full service firm offering individual coaching and professional development services along with boutique recruitment services for small business nationwide. My primary role with the company is supporting our daily operations while spearheading management and production of our digital media and video assets. Because we take on limited recruiting projects, I'm also able to use my experience in the hospitality and food and beverage sales industries to facilitate the early rounds of our recruitment processes.
