Chosen as “Career Mastermind”
I want to thank Dr. Randall Hansen and Dr. Kathy Hansen of Quintessential Careers for including me in their list of “15 Quintessential Careers Career Masterminds” in honor of the 15th anniversary of the founding of Quintessential Careers.
This is a real honor, as I have been using and recommending Quint Careers as a resource for my clients for just about that many years! I remember meeting Randall and Kathy several years ago at a conference — it was a “brush with career fame” for me, which makes this honor even more special.
As part of the 15th anniversary of the founding of Quintessential Careers, we are honoring and celebrating some of our favorite career visionaries, gurus, and experts — people who truly want to help job-seekers understand and succeed in the job-search.
We’ve selected these 15 career experts, folks we are honoring with the title of Quintessential Careers Career Masterminds, because of their career and job-hunting know-how — and their passion for sharing that knowledge with job-seekers, career-changers, and the entire career community.
It’s especially nice to be recognized for sharing information and resources with the career community, so thank you very much!
