Land Your Dream Job Faster Using A Recruiter's Inside Secrets

I See Your Frustration...

And I Know Exactly How to Fix It.

You may be perfect for the job, but here's the harsh truth:

Being qualified isn't enough.

You have to get noticed, get them on the phone, and then strategically position yourself as the obvious choice during the interview.

The hardest part?

Nobody teaches you how to market yourself like a recruiter would.

That's why I'm here to partner with you and share the insider playbook that changes everything.

The Pounding Pavement Program is perfect for:

  • SEASONED PROFESSIONALS
    Ready to leverage your experience for your next career breakthrough

  • CAREER CHANGERS
    Looking to pivot into a new industry or role with confidence

  • RECENT GRADUATES
    Who want to skip the "entry-level struggle" and start strong

  • RETURNING PROFESSIONALS
    Getting back into the workforce after a career break

  • EXECUTIVES & MANAGERS
    Seeking leadership roles that match your expertise and salary expectations

"I was looking for something new and looking for a different career. I just had not had luck, doing it on my own. So I knew I needed help.

I really do feel like the Pounding Pavement 101 program really made a difference for me. I had four resume writers and had spent thousands of dollars with no results. But that's just really the wrong way and the wrong approach. And obviously it wasn't working.

I can't say enough good things about Ilene and Pounding Pavement 101, it helped me get the job. There's no doubt about it."

- Angela, Vice President of Sales

The Reality Check

Job searching has become a soul-crushing process.

You're not just looking for work. You're battling a system designed to filter you out, not let you in.

It's frustrating, depressing, and time-consuming because you're playing a game where nobody explained the real rules.

This becomes a repetitive administrative nightmare that drains your confidence and your bank account.

And that's not what you set out to do for your career.

If you are struggling with your job search, ILENE IS THE BEST! I was applying to jobs left and right for almost a year with no activity, and within a couple weeks of working with Ilene, I was getting interviews, and I ultimately landed my dream job! Ilene is extremely personable and cares so much about her clients. She will put you on the right track and won't quit until you are hired. Working with her will be the best decision you'll ever make!

I Hear the Frustration...

Is this you?

  • You're applying for jobs and hearing nothing back (not even a "thanks, but no thanks")

  • You're getting interviews but no offers (and you have no idea why)

  • You're running out of relevant jobs to apply for (and starting to panic about what's next)

  • Time is slipping away (and every day unemployed feels like career suicide)

  • Money is getting tight (and the financial pressure is becoming overwhelming)

  • Your confidence is shattered (and you're starting to question your own worth)

  • The bills are piling up, unemployment benefits are running out, and you're watching other people get hired while you're stuck in limbo.

"I cannot recommend working with Ilene highly enough, to get the benefit of practical experience in recruiting, and get you the right job faster and easier. Ilene's insights and information were invaluable in my career search, and while her content is great and helpful, the support she provided in troubleshooting, the motivation and sense of normalcy that meeting with her regularly really took it up to the next level. I can't recommend working with her highly enough, to get the benefit of practical experience in recruiting, and get you the right job faster and easier."

The Recruiter's Inside Truth

Here's what I learned after 15+ years as an Executive Recruiter:

Most job seekers fail because they don't understand what's happening behind the scenes. They think it's about qualifications, but it's really about positioning, timing, and knowing the unwritten rules.

I've reverse-engineered the entire hiring process because I was tired of watching qualified candidates get overlooked while companies complained they "couldn't find good talent."

The disconnect was heartbreaking — and completely fixable.

"Her insider's knowledge is invaluable for putting together a strong resume and offers immense insight on the job recruitment process. A couple of hours of interview prep with her provided more information than six years of school career counseling!"

- Cindy, Designer & Animator

"You need to get a new job? You need to talk to Ilene. I look at my job search in two parts - pre and post Ilene. 

​

Before Ilene I was applying for jobs and .... well that is all, I was applying for jobs. I was getting the usual "we are looking at other candidates" and lots of recruiter calls that went absolutely no where. 

After I met Ilene and she helped me redo my resume and fix my Linked In Profile... I talked to a LOT more recruiters and actually went on interviews, plus... I actually got a job. 

​

Ilene knows the business of job hunting. More importantly she knows the business of Job GETTING and she's in your corner. 

​

Don't be like me and have a 'pre Ilene' phase.. "

The Bottom Line

Stop fighting an unfair system.

Start using it to your advantage.

You don't need to send 500+ applications. You don't need to wait months for responses. You don't need to accept lowball offers.

You need to think like a Recruiter, position like a Strategist, and interview like an insider.

That's exactly what I teach you.

I want you to land not only a job... but your dream job... and for a lot of money!

With years of experience in recruiting, she gave me the confidence to show off my ability both in my resume and during the interview. Whether you are a full-time student or a professional looking for a new career, Ilene's guidance is valuable for anyone."
