The Job Search Guide was founded in 2009 by CorDell Larkin for the purposes of dispelling common job search myths and to help job seekers improve their results when seeking new career opportunities. Our goal is to help you identify your “employer of best fit” in order to maximize your earnings, job satisfaction, and career advancement.
CorDell began his career as a recruiter in 1997 for one of Crain’s Chicago Business Top 10 Executive Search Firms. While there he set consecutive placement records, was a top producer two years in a row, and completed some of the firm’s marquee CXO searches. He later served as a Principal in two other boutique search firms focusing on CXO searches for early-stage companies, IT executives, and the high tech industry, and as a Senior Account Manager for an international human resource consulting firm.
When not helping organizations overcome human capital challenges, CorDell coaches individuals through job search and career challenges. He has helped thousands of people create resumes and other personal branding/marketing materials, prepare for interviews, negotiate job offers, research and identify “employers of best fit”, and overcome organizational barriers to career advancement.
CorDell received his Bachelors degree in Psychology from Lake Forest College and his Masters in Business Administration degree from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.
