On the personal front, I am a travel bug with a constant thirst to see more of the world. I am also a huge Chocoholic. I could give up chocolate but I’m no quitter.
I love being happy and want that for everyone which drives me to nurture and give. I have joined a couple of non-profit organizations and give my time as a mentor to lend people a hand.
Professionally, I grew up in the financial services sector working for the top 4 banks in Canada. I learned a lot about teamwork, collaboration, time management, organization, working with different personalities, and NETWORKING! I also learned that you could do anything even though you may not have direct experience. If you have transferable skills, you can prove your ability to do the job.
After over 20 years of working in the corporate world, I took a huge leap of faith to try entrepreneurship. 2 years ago, I started “Coach Doreen.” Throughout my career I always helped people with their resumes and interview preparation. I chose to start my own business and share my knowledge with job seekers to help them get ahead.
I hear from many frustrated job seekers that they have been applying endlessly with no results. A good job search strategy begins with a well-crafted resume that highlights a person’s skills and accomplishments. With my winning formula my clients have been successful in landing a job.

I draw out skills and abilities and empower you with the knowledge on how to showcase yourself and raise your visibility. This helps tremendously during the interview preparation phase.
A job is everything to you so that you can live your best life and secure your future.

85% of Canadian recruiters use LinkedIn as their primary tool for searching for potential candidates. Over 90% of LinkedIn Profiles fail to meet the basic optimization criteria. Build the right LinkedIn profile and get one-to-one coaching to target your job search objectives.
