As the Founder of school2life and instructor of Columbia College Chicago's popular Marketing Yourself course, I've prepared hundreds of young adults to enter the workforce with confidence and career-enhancing tools. As an educator, I call upon my 15 years of networking and marketing experience with large and small organizations, including Leo Burnett, Playboy Enterprises, and Make-A-Wish Foundation, as well as brands such as Jose Cuervo, Smirnoff and Phillip Morris. Latest Project:In my on-going effort to prepare upcoming and recent college graduates for interview success, I am excited to share an engaging interview tool...the WUHU (Would U Hire U?) Interview Quiz. WUHU is a simply designed online and mobile quiz that helps young professionals optimize their job interview skills by considering and selecting the best answers to commonly asked interview questions and then developing a personalized answer to likely questions. By having young professionals think about questions and consider the pros and cons of various answers in a safe, consequence-free situation, they are more prepared to interview with sophistication, relevance and confidence—three key requirements for interview success!  It's simple and free.
