How I Got Hired
53. Debra Feldman: The Executive Matchmaker
Debra Feldman helps the world’s top executives in making fantastic career moves. Interestingly, she started her own career as a Nurse!
Just as healthcare practitioners diagnose the cause of symptoms, Debra says she identifies the source of clients’ inability to attract the attention of hiring decision makers.
So how did Debra Feldman, a petite but dynamite woman go from nursing to a career in C Level Healthcare Management, including a stint at the prestigious New York Presbyterian Hospital, to helping over 1000 senior level executives to figure out what they want next and how to get there?
In this fascinating conversation, Debra shares her own career story as well as her favorite strategies that will help you to make successful shifts in your own career.
- Debra also shares the real reason she started her firm Job Whiz 20 years ago, something many of us can relate with in 2021 in midst of the ‘great resignation.’
- Using old school sleuthing techniques, Debra explains how she researched companies and people in the pre-internet era: something that will benefit you when you want to connect with people who are not active on social media
Debra is a very sought-after career advisor by senior executives in major companies, hence it’s a privilege to have her open up and share some valuable career advice on this podcast. Make sure you don’t miss it!
