I have been an IT Professional since 2002. I have developed desktop applications and web applications. I have developed databases, been a website hosting administrator and an SEO/SEM specialist and I am really great at it! I have been in your shoes, dealing with IT Recruiters that, well, suck! They promise the world, awesome jobs to interview for and then never heard from again. You get 1 to 2 calls and emails a day. I get it.
Here is where I do my best to be different...because I have been in your shoes.
I spend time to get to know you, what your goals are, what jobs you are looking for, what tech stack you thrive in. I want to know. I may not get it right when I initially try to connect with you, but by the time we are done talking, I will know it all.
Will I have a job that fits right then, I sure hope I do, but if I don't, know that I will call you when I do. Opportunity is always right around the corner. Especially when it come to IT careers in Kansas City! And I have found out that they coma and go quickly! So I try and be on my toes and on my game all the time.
When I do find that right opportunity for you, know that I will always do my best to keep you in the loop and give you honest feedback. It will help for future interviews, good, bad or ugly! Hey you grow your tech stack right? Well you should always grow your personal skills too.
Keep your ears open for what's happening it IT around Kansas City. Partner with someone that keeps a pulse on IT jobs in Kansas City. It never hurts to know!
