*Pass your interviews* I have interviewed 100+ candidates over my career, ranging from junior investment bankers to associate / VP level investors as well as business executives for some of my portfolio companies. Recruiting is essential, and I would love the opportunity to share my learnings with future generations. I will endeavor to tailor my approach to the role and seniority level in question. *Get more interviews* I have screened and reviewed thousands of resumes. Like clothes, a resume is the first impression an employer gets of a candidate. As such, it is the arbiter between getting an interview and not getting an interview. The famous saying goes: "Don't judge a book by its cover". I would add to that: "But, a nice cover can't hurt". *Make a career transition* I have been a valued resource to my teams and friends in the industry over nearly 15 years. I enjoy helping people break barriers that slow them down, and I do so methodically and respectfully. I promise candidates looking for career coaching to follow the following framework: 1. Listen Intently 2. Ideate 3. Brainstorm 4. Design Action Plan 5. Help with Execution 6. Ongoing Monitoring
