Tony McKeon – 25 Year Career Coach

It all seems so magical.  You hear the thundering roar of the engines and booster rockets, you see the explosive brilliance of the expended fuel – and then you see the sleek and shiny craft move upward loaded with millions of dollars worth of precious cargo, a handful of astronauts, and the dreams of a nation.

Limitless Expenditure

Thousands work behind the scenes to make such a rocket launch successful.  For all of them, the stakes are high. Millions of details have been carefully planned.  The contributions of hundreds have been exquisitely planned and orchestrated.  Some of the brightest people on the planet have collaborated on an endeavor that will somehow bring value to some of earth’s inhabitants.

As the rocket thrusts itself into the heavens, it leaves behind hundreds of thousands of men and women who have a special quest of their own.  They need a new or better job. Often in the solitude of a home office or kitchen table, more than 25 million Americans are trying their damndest to figure out how to identify and effectively vie for a position that will let them capture their piece of the American dream.
