About

I worked as a Sales & Marketing VP for 15 years and prior to that as a General Manager, Director of Marketing Communications, and Region Sales Manager. I also served in executive and board roles at four nonprofits.

 

Throughout my career I’ve interviewed hundreds of people for various positions, worked with search firms and recruiters as a client and as a candidate. My hiring record, while not perfect - few hiring managers bat a thousand - was pretty good, and I definitely got better with experience.

 

Utilizing decades of senior management experience  hiring and coaching I help professionals who want to:

​

• Pivot into a new position or career path

• Position themselves for promotion

• Strengthen their professional brand and increase their career visibility

• Navigate their career with a strategic plan.

• Launch a business to pursue their entrepreneurial dream

​

I help experienced professionals develop a targeted job-search strategy that gets them in front of the right companies, hiring managers, and recruiters so they can land the job they actually want.

How I Work

I’m not a recruiter. A recruiter works on behalf of the employer and is paid by them. I work for the candidate. I help clients ID the job they most want, create a personal brand message including a resume and LinkedIn profile, and coach them on acing interviews as well as evaluating and negotiating job offers.

“Working with Frank was invaluable. He helped me connect the dots in a way I never could on my own. More than just refining my resume or interview skills, he helped me see and articulate my unique value with confidence. I couldn’t have done it without him." 

-Kristin Sammarco, VP of Sales & Operations

A Job Should be More Than a Paycheck

​

As a Job Search Sherpa I derive great satisfaction from guiding people to land the job they really want so they can find meaning in their work and enjoy the Psychic Salary® they've always dreamed about.

 

I help people find their path, make a successful career transition, or launch a business. ​​​Over the years, many people have told me "I don't know what I want in a job, but I know this isn't it!" and I also often hear "I feel stuck"; so in a sense I help people get unstuck.

​

Having reviewed hundreds of resumes and interviewed hundreds of people for various positions I know how job candidates are eliminated from contention. And how others get to the interview process, secure job offers, and negotiate a fair compensation package.

​

Having an experienced job search specialist can help you land a job and achieve true satisfaction from your work.

 

Landing a job a job today isn't easy. Feeling anxious and confused about how to mount a successful job search is quite common. Like many frustrated job seekers:

 

• You've rewritten your resume

• You’ve applied to dozens of jobs
• You check job boards every day

​

But...

• Applications disappear into a black hole
• The only hits you get are scams or people selling something

• Interviews are rare and you don't get past the initial screening call
• You’re starting to wonder if you’re doing something wrong

 

Getting hired via an online application is successful 2-5% of the time.

​

And, 30% of jobs are filled by referrals from employees. 

​

What you need is a comprehensive but targeted outreach, aka networking, strategy.
