Kristen Hallows

I have always been passionate about career satisfaction. My inspiration to launch Job You Deserve came when I observed my recent college graduate friends working as temps, secretaries and bartenders. After four (or more) years of study, being underemployed is unacceptable! Life is too short, and you spend too much time at work to not enjoy it.

What started off as a crusade against underemployment has developed into a holistic enterprise dedicated to all people who feel they deserve better - from college students to executives to retirees wishing to start a second or third career.

I have coached people in countries including New Zealand, Germany, Norway, Canada, and the United States. I help people achieve in many areas including career and workplace, business and Web site development, and health and wellness.

I am also a self-taught Webmaster and the author of The Recruiter is Your Friend: This Ain't Your Granddaddy's Job Search.

I am a Certified Professional Coach. I received my coach training from the International Coach Academy (ICA). I also received my BS in Business Administration magna cum laude with minors in Human Resources and Finance from Franklin University.

I carefully follow the ICF code of ethics. I belong to the Career Coach Special Interest Group (SIG), which provides me with regular, relevant continuing education. Also, I am constantly growing Job You Deserve by exploring partnerships with other career professionals and businesses.
