Prior to starting VisionQuest, Judi was a search consultant for 20 years in the contingency and retained markets. She now educates job seekers on what the candidate selection process is all about so that you not only learn how to successfully present, package and sell yourself, but you learn to understand and decipher what's really going on in your job search process, what those actions and statements mean and how to decipher and respond to them, how to not get lost in the crowd, why 99.9% of all cover letters are flops and why professional generic ones are the biggest scam going, and above all, how not to give away your power - which is pretty much what everyone does when they go job hunting.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Judi Perkins
There are hundreds of job coaches out there. But I’m not a job coach. I'm sort of a combination of Brian Tracy and Albert Einstein with psychology, common sense, and 20 years in the recruiting trenches thrown in. I'm a little bit of a renegade and I tend to throw out the window some of the things many others embrace as necessary to a successful job search.
I was a very successful recruiter for C-level through mid-level management for 20 years and have a very unusual background of both contingency and retained experience, plus a whole bunch of experience in different industries and functions.
Here are just some of the differences between the normal stuff out there and what I believe:
Everyone else:
---> will give you advice that puts you,
unknowingly, on the defensive. I’ll show you
how to make sure you are not on the
defensive. The company should not have
100% of the power.
---> will tell you how to get the job. I’ll tell you that
- and in a radically different manner – plus
how to make sure you want the job in the first
place
---> will tell you what you should do and have to
do. I’ll show you what you don’t need to
bother with (like learning interviewing styles)
and tell you why
and:
No where else will you learn what the subtext of each piece of the interviewing process means When you understand the subtext - the hidden meaning of the questions and what the interviewer really means - you have more control over what's going on.
When you know what’s going on with the hiring authority, your understanding of the process increases and your performance and control outshine the other candidates.
That puts you in control. And when the company wants you, that means you can decide what you want to do - pursue it...or not.
