My over a decade of employment at firms like AT&T, Lucent and IBM as a Internet consultant, lead unix systems administrator and systems engineer have taught me effective problem-solving techniques that greatly benefit my research. I have been profiled in many publications and sites, including Monster.com. Additionally, my years of educating others how to use their software and environments have enabled me to teach in an easy, informative fashion that emphasizes creativity instead of rote activity.

I love training and teaching. And that just comes out in my works and motivational seminars.

"Barbara's expertise has directly resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars of increased revenue at our firm." - Bob Larson, President, Berman and Larson

"I thought you did a great job in Atlanta today. I admire the passion you show for your work and passion can always be found in the details. I wish you great success in all your endeavors." - Trée George

"Barbara, just a brief note to express our appreciation for your training last week in Philadelphia.

Until we spent the day with you, we thought we knew how to finesse our way around the Internet and all of its search engines. Your methods are simple to understand and easy to follow. We just need to apply what you taught!

You definitely provided all of the ingredients along with the recipe!

You made a point to cover all the information while making sure no questions were left unanswered!

Your presentation flowed very smooth; even someone like me, with limited knowledge of the Internet, was able to leave the seminar with an entirely different viewpoint of how to take advantage of the many sites out there. Now we know how to find them, how to maneuver through and around them and how to find valuable information.

As we continue to expand and add additional researchers we will either have you come in for a personal session or have them attend one of your upcoming seminars.

Thanksfor the help!"

-- Rick Slifka Director of Recruiting Lyons Pruitt International, Ltd.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH! It was wonderful. Barbara is obviously brilliant, and I learned a lot. I am now trying to process it all and integrate it into my business.

I will highly recommend RISE to everyone I know interested in internet recruiting. Let me know when the next Atlanta seminar is going to take place and I will be happy to recruit participants for you.

Thanks again....

Best regards, Carol Monroe MONROE & ASSOCIATES

"...a warm, dynamic workshop that kept me awake and wanting to learn more." -- Orlando Attendee

"... the process of searching fits us as it does anyone in the recruiting industry.

Now that I have said that, let me share with you that I received on Monday the 17th a call from a long time client saying they needed a System Administrator for their 95 workstation WAN and they needed the person immediately. Using your training material I pulled over 900 resumes in less than three hours and ALL WERE FREE. I emailed about 150 over the next 24 hours and sent three resumes to the client. All this was done in less than three days!! All three were accepted by the client and interviews are set up for Monday the 24th. I expect one of them to he hired by Tues. The fee will be just shy of 20K" -- Pamela Gotham, Anchor Associates

"First, let me say that I am impressed by your computer skills; however, I am in awe of your ability to take the technical information and make it English. Teaching is your true gift.

I took our top candidate sourcing specialist to the Rise seminar and the results were immediate and measurable. Within 24 hours we found two perfect candidates for a J.O. that had eluded us for over two months. -- Seattle Attendee

"I've been to other, popular Internet recruiting training where the instructors just taught by rote. Your passion for the subject came out and kept me wanting to learn more and more. And I'm not even interested in computers" -- Attendee from NYC

"Hi Barbara, just a quick note to let you know how delighted I was with the information that I learned at here in Toronto and how useful I know it is going to be to Maizis and Miller Consultants. I thought that I knew how to utilize the internet from a recruiting perspective however after attending my eyes were opened to a broad new range of possibilities to help Maizis and Miller Consultants attract top talent for our clients in this tight labour market.

Many Thanks

Ron Maizis, Maizis And Miller"
