CURIOUS ABOUT HOW TO MAKE THAT CAREER CHANGE?

LOOK. NO. FURTHER. Angela Stephens has over 30 years of experience as a Retained Recruiter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelaastephens/  In fact, she started her 30 year Executive Search Firm business with only $3,000 and grew it into one of the leading executive search firms in the country specializing in the pharma, biotech & consumer industries-www.astephensandassociates.com She has also been a Career Coach for over 20 years.

Angela Stephens just got this recommendation this week from a professional: Piki H. Review: September 26, 2024:


  • I met with Angela Stephens when I began looking for a new opportunity. She reviewed my resume, assessed my background, and provided honest and helpful suggestions. When we met again, I was surprised by her deep knowledge of how LinkedIn works, particularly in relation to how executives utilize the platform and where they are looking for new talent. I highly recommend Angela Stephens as a career coach at www.refocuscareers.com, a mentor, or for working with her in her executive search firm, www.astephensandassociates.com. Additionally, she owns three companies, and I received one of the Executive Faux Leather Password Books from her other business, RE-FOCUS THE CREATIVE OFFICE (www.time2refocus.com). I love it! This company offers great products to help you focus and refocus.


So why is this Podcast different?

"As a professional in this field, I have come to realize we are dealing with a new generation. A generation that is extremely smart with a different view of the world we live in. As our world changes with this new generation, we must change and adapt our ways to embrace, educate, & encourage this new generation to be open to new possibilities, new ways of thinking, & new opportunities that they may have never even thought of" Angela Stephens CEO & Podcast Host
