Welcome to the Executive Career Upgrades Podcast with your hosts, Tim and Kristina Madden.

Resumes almost never clearly describe someone’s own “true skills and achievements,” most of the time, hiring managers want to focus on specific bullet points in a job description. This isn’t something that is new; this is a challenge candidates and hiring managers have had going on for years. Also, most people are confused in their career. They don’t know what to target, they don’t know how to build a clear impactful message, and most of the time settle for mediocrity which leads to poor job performance, low pay, and unfulfillment. Not only do Tim and Kristina Madden attract high-quality candidates for companies, but they are also passionate about helping high achievers land that next multiple 6-figure job, which most of the time is less about tactics and more about mindset and confidence.
