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.

I'm Ilene Rein, an Executive Recruiter with insider knowledge. I've placed hundreds of candidates in their dream roles, and now I'm pulling back the curtain to show YOU the exact playbook Recruiters use to evaluate candidates.

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.

My clients get hired in an average of 44 days! Not the 255 days it takes searching alone. That's 6X faster, with better salary offers and less stress. That's why I'm here to partner with you and share the insider playbook that changes everything.

I had no intention of hiring a career advisor, but I was so impressed with her that I signed up on the spot! She helped me understand how Recruiters think, update my resume, and be prepared for interview questions.

I started applying for roles on September 23rd, and on November 10th I accepted a job offer – less than 7 weeks later!

- Laura, Project Manager

"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.

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.

You're not broken.

You're not "unhireable."

You just don't know the game recruiters are playing behind closed doors.

But I do.

And I'm going to teach you.

"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."

- Nick, Program Manager

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."

Did you know that 75% of recruiters eliminate candidates in the first 6 seconds of reviewing a resume?

They're not reading your bullet points.

They're scanning for specific keywords and formatting patterns that signal "strong candidate" vs. "pass."

I'll show you EXACTLY what those patterns are—because I used to be the one doing the 6-second scan. That's the kind of insider intel that changes everything.

The disconnect was heartbreaking — and completely fixable.

"The most positive and passionate person I’ve ever met, Ilene is truly the best person to push you to new heights and above, supporting you all the way. Her insider’s knowledge is invaluable for putting together a strong resume and offers immense insight on the job recruitment process – a couple hours of interview prep with her provided more information than six years of school career counseling!

Ilene is encouraging, flexible, and willing to answer every question, no matter how inane, and she will cheerfully help you pummel your weaknesses until they come back around to strengths. After working with her, I’m more confident in my resume and myself than ever before, and am now doing freelance video work. I honestly cannot thank her enough for her guidance and encouragement, and I can't wait to see where her amazing skills take her!" "

"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.. "
