In this episode, I talk with Ellie Hoekman, a recruiter by day and an interview coach outside of that! As a recruiter, Ellie met so many wonderful people who she couldn’t hire because they interviewed poorly. Seeing this happen again and again motivated her to create Rock & Secure. She understands that learning interview skills at the early stages of your career is critical to your overall career success.Beyond her experience as a recruiter, she also has a master’s degree in organizational psychology. That said, she has both the experience and formal education needed to be a coach - but what makes her an amazing coach is her passion and dedication. She takes pride in being someone who is easy to talk to and understanding. Learn more about Ellie at www.rockandsecure.com. Learn more about Dr. Tracy at www.tracyshroyerphd.com.
