MY PASSION LIES IN HELPING HIGH ACHIEVING PROFESSIONALS GAIN CONFIDENCE & TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR CAREER SEARCH, USING THE RIGHT STRATEGIES TO LAND HIGH-QUALITY INTERVIEWS AND THEIR DREAM JOB. 

KARA DENNISON, SPHR

EXECUTIVE CAREER COACH | LEADERSHIP COACH | OWNER

I’m an Executive Career Coach, Forbes Contributor, and certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). I spent my career as a Corporate Recruiting Leader, working hand-in-hand with decision-makers to place hundreds of top-talented professionals. I’ve personally reviewed over 200,000 resumes throughout my career.

I know how a poorly written resume, mental barriers, or insecurities can hold back even the highest-achieving professional. I’ve also seen firsthand how the right techniques and strategies can propel professionals far past their competition and right into their dream careers.

I have helped thousands of Directors, VPs, and Executives position themselves as leaders in the marketplace, leading to better job alignment, higher salaries, and increased workplace engagement, and most importantly, more fulfilled lives.

I’m so passionate about what I do because I, too, felt like I was trapped in my job with no way out. I was frustrated as I watched others get promoted while I continued to invest late nights and unending weekends in the hopes of getting the recognition I deserved.

When I tried to leave corporate HR & recruiting, I felt frustrated and rejected, feeling my insecurities taking over and holding me back when I couldn’t bypass the applicant tracking systems and get past my counterparts… even though I already knew firsthand how automation had killed the traditional job search.

About Optimized Career Solutions

Meanwhile, I was able to help friends and family land their dream jobs using the strategies I now teach my clients. It wasn’t until I was able to get past my fears and insecurities that I was able to find my own dream job. I now spend my days finding fulfillment as I help others navigate this current job market. Through my work I realized that it doesn’t matter who you are, the size of your paycheck, or what you look like, we all struggle with something that is holding us back from our next chapter.

When I decided to quit the job that was holding me back, I stopped surviving and started thriving. Not only did my career up-level, but my life did as well. More importantly, I did it all while gaining back the confidence each of us deserves.

I’ve helped thousands of professionals gain their confidence and take control of their career search, landing their dream jobs making what they deserve without the added stress and anxiety that the traditional job search brings.
