Since 1990, Linda has offered job search advice, resume editing, and interview coaching pro bono to clients, candidates, their neighbors, spouses, children and siblings. And she has enjoyed it. But due to high traffic from job seekers, Linda Tuerk has decided to officially offer her services "on the other side of the business"on a sliding scale per half hour. We are not becoming an outplacement service, and we will not be charging the $5000 similar firms frequently charge for huge unwanted packages. The idea is to give the job seeker a quick hit of help, precisely where they want or need it, and most seekers will only need one hour or less. The unemployed will receive a 50% discount.
Qualifications: In addition to 25+ years experience in Silicon Valley, Linda brings significant experience helping men and women reentering the work force, candidates who are frequently coming back to society from prison or welfare. Linda started this work in the Tenderloin of San Francisco at Glide Church's Job Skills Program (1995-2002) and InnVision's similar program in San Jose, 2003. Linda's volunteer hours averaged 200 per year, and her students numbered over 2000. Classes included everything from how to dress for an interview to job retention, with the emphasis on finding the most attractive way to tell the truth, but to always tell the truth. This experience with the hourly employee allows her to be of assistance across a large socio-economic range.
In good times and bad, Linda has formally placed unemployed candidates when a client could not pay a fee. It has always been our contention that a fee should not get in the way of doing what is right, especially when it is right in front of us on our desks. This will continue.
