Transform Your Members' Career Outcomes

Partnerships That Work

How the Pounding Pavement 101 Program Delivers Real Results When Your Members Need Jobs Most

Your members are struggling to get hired...
and you know it.

You're fielding frustrated calls every week from people who are doing everything right but getting nowhere.

They're sending 50+ applications with zero responses.

They're bombing interviews they thought went well.

And you're stuck recommending the same generic advice that isn't working.

Here's the reality...

Traditional career services stopped working years ago.

Resume templates don't get people hired.

Networking events don't land job offers.

Your members need insider recruiter strategies that companies actually use to filter candidates.

That's exactly what Pounding Pavement 101 delivers.

The Partnership Advantage

This isn't another career services add-on...

I'm not a career coach who Googles job search advice.

I've been an Executive Recruiter and Job Search Strategist for 15+ years.

I've seen thousands of resumes that never made it past screening.

I've watched qualified candidates bomb interviews because they didn't know what recruiters were actually listening for.

And I've helped companies reject 99% of applicants because they made easily avoidable mistakes.

Now I teach job seekers the exact system Recruiters use to evaluate candidates.

Your members learn what gets someone instantly rejected and what makes them the obvious hire.

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

"Ilene was great at getting me to where the market is today since it had been 17 years since my last job search and (a few) things have changed. The interview preparation was excellent and really stuck – it has been almost a year since I worked with Ilene and I became free to pursue other opportunities only a short time ago.

It was important for me to review these skills and develop the stories for an interview to demonstrate them BEFORE I needed them. Ilene helped draw them out with feedback on how they would appear to a recruiter hearing them for the first time."
