I'm Lisa McGrimmon. I write the articles you'll find here at Career Choice Guide, and I take career counseling seriously.

I started working as a career counselor over seven years ago. In that time, I have worked with about 2000 clients and written at least 1000 resumes. I can happily report that my clients find meaningful work quickly.

I'm certain I have personally experienced every type of crazy interview tactic an employer could imagine, and I've been responsible for using some of those tactics myself, interviewing and hiring new staff on several occasions. As a result, I've experienced the hiring process from every angle.

I truly believe that all people need and deserve to have access to the knowledge required to manage their own careers, and I'm committed to providing that information here.
