About the JobWhiz
(source: Debra Feldman)

Debra Feldman represents senior level executives acting as their personal agents introducing them to hiring authorities at companies where they want to work or arranging contacts with key industry figures known to be privy to insider information. By emphasizing professional networking rather than filling an immediate job opening, both the JobWhiz client and decision makers benefit from meeting each other and through a series of interactions develop trust and a relationship that, with patience and persistence, will generate new unadvertised, less competitive, career opportunities for the prospective employee in the hidden job market. . No wonder Forbes labeled her "Part Sleuth, Part Networker."

Debra's project focus positions clients to demonstrate their unique value proposition to attract maximum attention and promote intrigue. By targeting employers consistent with the candidateÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s specifications for location, industry, responsibilities, etc., the likelihood of making a strong match for both sides is increased exponentially. Debra personally arranges the first appointment sparing JobWhiz clients from cold calling, disrespectful corporate gatekeepers and wasting time dealing on frustrating voice mail systems.

Though Debra, a solo practitioner, concentrates the lion's share of her efforts on designing and implementing comprehensive ground breaking job search projects. She also offers consulting services on a fee-for-service basis as her schedule permits to facilitate particular personal connections - for example, to a specific hiring manager who's in control of the job of a lifetime that you just happened to see advertised recently.

Professional fees are based on individual project requirements. In almost every instance, JobWhiz services are a tax-deductible job search expense (check with your tax professional to be sure).
