Orland Park native Molly Mann worked with a job coach and used a new Chicago-based Web site, GoSavant.com, to land her first job out of college. Even so, her efforts took five months in today’s troubled times.
Mann, 22, who started her new job Sept. 15 as a sales representative for a dental products manufacturing company, watched one of GoSavant.com’s “Knock ‘em Dead” interview videos right before she left for the interview that led to her job offer.
“The tips, along with my coach Karen Marvinac’s help, gave me a lot more confidence and acted as a refresher course,” said Mann, who majored in sales and business marketing at Western Michigan University.
Mann used a career coach through GoSavant.com; the coaches charge varying fees based on expertise. Her coach helped her realize that she has certain strengths such as persistence and independence.
