"She possesses a drive and determination that sets her apart from her competition."
Charles B Sheldon - owner, editor of the Colorado Springs Business Journal.1992

Kathleen Conners’ employment career began in the early 1990’s recession when her hometown of Colorado Springs was dubbed “The Foreclosure Capital of the US” by the national media. Finding jobs when unemployment peeked at 7.9 percent was her forte.  She became a passionate detective uncovering clues to jobs!

Kathleen has been an experienced job developer, consultant for a major outplacement firm, and a recruiter.  In the summer of 2002, she was overwhelmed by professionals contacting her needing new employment opportunities.  So PeopleHirePeople Seminar was created to assisted job seekers with their two major problems:  “where” to discover companies with unadvertised jobs and “how” to contact hiring managers directly.  Seminar participants urged Kathleen to write a book making her techniques available for all professionals.

Kathleen is a guest lecturer to university business schools, graduate students and soon to be graduating students instructing new search techniques for a competitive edge in this difficult job market.  She has been a guest on the national syndicated radio David Lawrence Talk Show discussing the ineffective Internet Job Boards.  The financial services company of Morgan Stanley in Colorado Springs hosted the PeopleHirePeople Seminar for eighteen months to help to their clients in the current job market.  Currently Presidential Brokerage sponsors the PeopleHirePeople seminar for professionals in the Denver area.  Kathleen continues to actively recruit full time for client companies and is a graduate from Washington University, St. Louis.
