It's an honor to help you go to the next step! Each of my clients is unique, and that keeps my work fun and fascinating, fresh and leading-edge. I love thinking "future" and breaking the rules: if it helps my clients, and if it's genuine for them and ethical, we do it!
- Joanne Meehl, "The Resume Queen"®
What makes Joanne refreshing and unique? She talks directly, on a weekly basis, with hiring managers, HR directors, and senior recruiters about what they want. She makes it her business to get the latest, right from the source. She then translates this knowledge into guidance for her clients.
