Chelle developed her career by moving up the ranks in human resources. She has been a HR leader in varies leadership positions of Fortune 500 companies including Lockheed and Comcast. She achieved great success in her career when she became a top executive in HR. Yet she felt unfilled in her leadership role. She desired to help others with their career goals. She started her own business to serve job seekers in their journey in career & self-development.

Written by Julia Churan

Chelle’s lectured on “A 7 Step Career Amplifier”- this is when a job seeker focuses on vision, strategy, tactics, purpose, and mindset. Positivity is the oil that greases the gears to amplify your awesomeness. The Mindset and Vision are the first two gears of mindset gears. This first gear is Vision – know what you are natural good at. The job seeker needs a vision to how to use their natural gifts and talents. Another helpful tool for vision is to create a journal to track your desires and dreams. Next Optimize your mindset by knowing the pain of the employee and have a solution the problems. Mental Fitness is the ability to change the neuron pathways in your brain. This is a mental work-out with positive, cognitive psychology, performance science, and neuroscience. The next step to move forward in career amplification is to identify saboteurs which include relentlessness, people pleasers, controller, hyper-achiever, stickler, hypervigilant, hyper-rational, victim, and avoiders. A test can be taken to help you determined your saboteur. The development of your mental fitness requires building mental muscle by having empathy for oneself during the job search journey.

Testimonials

Navigating the world of career transition can be an overwhelming experience.  In addition to the mechanics of transition (updated resume, career search strategies), there is the deeper need to connect to people who are in the same situation as you are.   For me, all of this was answered by Career Connectors!  Had it not been for this organization, I might still be sitting in my house, wondering what to do next!  At just one Career Connectors meeting you can be inspired by great speakers, … Read more

If you are a job seeker in transition or looking to find that new great position I highly recommend Career Connectors. The search process has changed significantly over the years and Career Connectors will provide you many tools that will allow you to stand out and demonstrate your unique value to potential employers. At each event I had the opportunity to “sharpen the saw” through top notch expert presentations on image portrayal, positive attitude, networking, social media presence, job… Read more

Networking helps, especially when you do not directly know anyone at a target company. I have attended 4 of your meetings and at one of them a company representative and recruiter presented. I was already familiar with this company, but she also said some other things in the presentation that made me take notice and created more interest on my part. I spoke with the recruiter at your event and she followed up the next week and from there I went on several phone interviews and on site interview t… Read more

I would like to share that I landed a contract position for 6 months with possible conversion to a permanent position on the team after those contract periods complete. I work on a team as an Instructional Designer and the team is virtual, which means I am able to work from home 100% of the time! I am very excited for the future of my career! I wanted to share that I sadly won’t be seeing you at Career Connector events for the next 6 months at the very least, and we’ll see how my performance … Read more

I’ve attended a few of your events in Gilbert and Scottsdale since returning to AZ and being an active job seeker. I’m happy to report that I’ve been offered a job! I’m over the moon about the offer and couldn’t be more grateful after a long, three month search (that definitely felt much longer…. 🙂 ). I want to thank you for your programs. You have excellent speakers who always energized me when I was needing it most. And your resume reviewer was great. She was a tough cookie with a red pen y… Read more
Becky T.
It was amazing, you guys did a great job! I found several potential companies!
Irene
Good news. I have landed. Thank you for your support throughout my job search journey. You and your organization has lots to offer besides the positive energy, uplifting of self confidence and immense networking opportunities. I am very appreciative of the efforts and time put forward by you and your team.
Kirtida A.
After a company layoff thrust me into the job market, Career Connectors was exactly what I needed to develop my networking skills. Networking is a job in itself, and the skills I learned helped me to land a temporary position just three months later that is now permanent. I believe in the Career Connectors mission and continue to volunteer as a way of expressing my appreciation for their support during a very tough time…thank you Career Connectors!
Diane N.
Thank you, Jessica. Although I wasn’t able to meet you personally, I was able to see you working with another applicant and was impressed with your efforts and the excellent platform that your team presented. Thank you very much.
