Bio
Robert Woodcock, Agile Program Consultant and Coach
Job search? Let’s be honest. Looking for your next incredible opportunity working with great people at the company of your dreams ain’t easy. Your search could include any or all of this stuff to figure out; What are you good at? What do you want to do? Who is your ideal company or customer, and what do they look like? Does your resume point to all that? Your LinkedIn profile, keywords, navigating applicant tracking systems, and networking (a lot) are all key factors. Let’s not forget the how-to’s of networking and interviewing remotely! All to get you ready for the interview process. Hopefully there’s multiple interviews. Then ‘the offer,’ and how to negotiate. It’s daunting, similar to selling your house, or dating/finding a spouse! Serenity now! That’s where Minda comes in. As my job search coach, she put her extensive experience as a recruiter on the table and was a huge help and incredible coach, clearly leading me through the intricate job search maze. I had not had an interview in about 20 years. At the start, I’d figured out a few things, but it was slow going. Minda gave me the boost of speed I needed! In addition to reviewing my resume and LinkedIn profile with a critical eye, the biggest help came in the form of how to work with and develop relationships with recruiters, as well as how to take control of an interview by asking some important questions – important for both me, and the prospective company/interviewer. Minda was a delight to work with, kept me motivated and focused, and was worth every penny! So, what are you waiting for? Contact her now!

Minda is the real deal! Within the first five minutes, she was providing value beyond what I've received from countless college courses, online seminars, staffing firms and google searches. Minda asked me ONE question and read my resume before we spoke. By the end of our initial call, she had made multiple ACTIONABLE suggestions. She is wickedly intuitive, uplifing and masterful at what she does. I cannot wait to work with her more.

I thought I knew a lot about job searching, until I talked to Minda and she knocked me off my feet. If you are job searching, I highly recommend reaching out to Minda. It is an excellent use of your time.
