Guest Blogger Julie Introduction

We have started a guest blog column this month. Check out the next article for great insight into the challenges of an MBA job search in “What would Warren Buffett Do?” Julie is a Job Search Guru, with great insight into the job search for people at the beginning and midpoint of their career. Julie tells me that she is looking forward to sharing her wisdom to help more people find and win the job of their dreams. Please join me in making her welcome. Here is Julie's bio:

With a degree in English and Rhetoric, and no plans to teach, Julie began her search not only to find a job, but also a direction. It took her nine months, hundreds of resumes, and 40 interviews to secure her first full-time job as an encyclopedia editor.

Unfortunately, beginning a career that coincided with the 9/11 economy meant no job security – especially for a writer. Julie felt the pain first hand as she went through the layoff process. Twice. Rather than despair, Julie used each change as an opportunity to expand her job search skills and land an even better job.

To help enhance her skills, Julie enrolled in graduate school to study advertising and develop a creative portfolio. To pay her her way through graduate school, and with her personal experience as a foundation, Julie works with clients writing and creating editorial content including resumes, coaching and interview tips.
