About the show

The ultimate guide to pivot to HR or within HR in 90 days or less. Learn how to create a marketable resume, sell your hottest transferable skills, and interview as a pivoter. Do this all w/o another HR degree or certification. I pivoted in 90 days with no bells or whistles and stayed with my company for 6 years! Learn how I and my clients get interviews w/o applying, land interviews after 4 days of applying, get fast-tracked in the interview process, and land $18k-$40k salary increases even while pivoting.
