The Executive Agent
Do You Need an Executive Agent?
Have you been rejected or ignored for job interviews even though clearly qualified?
Are you trying to compete with hundreds of applicants?
Are you competing for director, vice president, or executive roles?
Would you be interested in having someone in your corner, an advocate who knows this market, and can help you compete?
Stop Waiting . . .
It is harder today to land interviews, and job offers. I work with my clients by helping them "Think Like a Headhunter and Interview Like an Executive".
Like a headhunter, I promote my clients - helping them get in front of the right people.
You are more than your resume.
If you can convince me that you are qualified for a job, I can convince the employer.
It's amazing what happens when you talk to the people who can hire you.
Let's discuss your situation, and see if there is a fit.
Let's Talk - Here is my Calendar

Your follow up should be proportionate to the level of interview, and interviewer.

Delpha D - Insurance Executive
I would 110% recommend Barbara as a partner when looking to exit an executive role and enter a new one. What I had tried to do for a year and a half, I was able to achieve with her in four weeks. It's like magic. Super simple, clear advice, with a clear strategy, made all the difference. It’s absolutely worth it to have a partner in a very competitive market that will help you get noticed, get interviewed, and hired.
