Presentation testimonial from a Job Seeker Support Group Program Coordinator
“Shira Harrington is a regular speaker at 40Plus of Greater DC. She has spoken about how to create a stand-out, eye-catching, content rich resume that will capture head-hunters’ and employers’ attention as well as how to approach a job interview from the employer’s perspective. She was insightful, thoughtful, and strategic. Despite a fire alarm in the middle of her presentation, she kept her cool and was willing to talk longer to make up for the lost time. Shira was attentive to questions providing personalized answers while still staying on track (both in time and content) with her presentation. She reorganized her schedule to stay late and to speak one-on-one with our guests who are going through career transitions in this tight economy. I highly recommend her as a speaker and a recruiter. She is very engaging and clearly passionate about what she does.”
