Linda is an accomplished Development and Public Relations Executive with long experience in fundraising/communications in the human services field.  Armed with newly honed networking skills, Linda landed as a Director of Campaign Operations for non-profit Bancroft in Haddonfield, NJ.

How did you come to Kelleher Associates for your recent transition?
I came to Kelleher for outplacement services as part of a severance package from my former employer.

What did you learn about the importance of networking through your work with Kelleher Associates?
My counselor, Dick Hartzell was the first to encourage me to develop and use networking skills.  Before we even met he urged me to get started by making a list of friends and colleagues to contact.  We later formulated an effective elevator speech I could deliver with poise.

What tools, techniques, and tips did you obtain from Kelleher?
Dick helped me create an example for every bullet point in my resume, a great technique that prepared me to effectively and self-assuredly communicate my achievements throughout the interview process. 

Talk about your specific situation wherein you had the possibility of two offers surfacing simultaneously. 
This involved a very long multi interview process for two different opportunities- one in fundraising and the other in communications.  An objective review with my counselor of the comparative issues in each job and their fit with my needs helped guide me toward a decision.  Ultimately I accepted an offer for a fundraising position with Bancroft.
