What made you decide to start writing?
I spent over ten years in the recruitment industry first as a consultant and then as the owner of my own business. I observed for many years the behaviour of employers and jobseekers and realised that there was a huge gap in the knowledge of most people when they enter the job market, at whatever stage of their career.
Finding success in the job market is a skill just like any other and I decided to help others by sharing my knowledge and advice in my first book Super Secrets of the Successful Jobseeker, which was published by Harriman House in 2013.
I've self-published my second book Super Secrets of Successful Executive Job Search to give me more reach and the opportunity to help more people - Smashwords is a fantastic platform to help me do this.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
It's the creativity involved and the ability to get my message out far and wide to those who need it most. I've been contacted by people from all corners of the world to give feedback on my first book and knowing I've helped and touched the lives of people I have never even met is extremely rewarding.
I pour my heart and soul into each book and by the time it comes to publishing I'm absolutely drained - it's worth it though, knowing that my message is helping to transform peoples' fortunes in the job market.
