- Appeals division director for a state agency
Read More“That was a lot to take in, Jared, but it has been extremely helpful and yours your points on how to look for a job [for someone in my senior position] is spot on. Last time I looked for a job, LinkedIn barely existed. I’m good at personal relationships, but I’m totally lost about marketing myself. I like the idea of condensing my story under categorized bullet points; getting as specific as I need to be by including some wins, without having to provide a laundry list. I’'ll be in touch again after I’ve locked myself in a room and done a couple of JDAs!"
